The Synthes 311.69 Cannulated Tap is a precision instrument designed for orthopedic procedures requiring the insertion of 7.0 mm cannulated screws. Its cannulated design allows it to slide over a guide wire, ensuring accurate alignment during the tapping process. This feature is particularly beneficial in minimally invasive surgeries or in areas where direct visualization is limited.

With an overall length of 230 mm and a calibration length of 150 mm, the tap provides sufficient reach for various surgical sites. The calibration markings assist surgeons in determining the appropriate depth of insertion, ensuring consistent and reliable results. The high-quality stainless steel construction offers durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for repeated sterilization and use in demanding surgical environments.

In clinical practice, the 311.69 Cannulated Tap is utilized after the initial drilling of a pilot hole. By cutting threads into the bone, it facilitates the secure placement of cannulated screws, which are often used in fracture fixation and joint stabilization procedures. The precise threading provided by this tap enhances the stability of the screw fixation, contributing to improved patient outcomes and reduced risk of complications.
