Synthes 400.813.96 1.5mm Cortex Screw Self-Taping 13mm

Synthes 400.813.96 1.5mm Cortex Screw Self-Taping 13mm

• Model: 400.813.96 Synthes
• 1.5mm
• A small, threaded, non-bioabsorbable, implantable rod intended for internal orthopaedic fixation by being screwed into a limb bone, rib, the sternum and/or pelvis to hold a plate, nail, rod or prosthesis to the bone, or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of a fractured bone; it is not intended to be introduced through the sleeve of a femoral neck fixation plate/sleeve, not used in dentistry/orthodontics, craniofacial or spinal bones, and not dedicated to intramedullary fixation/arthrodesis. It is typically of cortical or cancellous design and has a drive (e.g., slot, cross, star, polygonal) at its proximal end for introduction with a screwdriver.

This medical supply or implant item is in its original manufacturer's packaging. 

The Synthes 400.813.96 is a titanium, self‑tapping cortical screw with a 1.5 mm diameter and a total length of 13 mm. It features a 1.1 mm core diameter, a 3 mm head diameter, and a 0.5 mm thread pitch. Designed for single-use, this screw is intended for use with DCP (Dynamic Compression Plate) and LC‑DCP (Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plate) systems, specifically within Moderate Hand instrumentation platforms.

Constructed from biocompatible titanium, the screw combines durability with reduced weight and optimized osseointegration. Its self‑tapping thread design eliminates the need for a separate tapping step during surgery, streamlining the implantation process. The moderate size—13 mm length and 1.5 mm diameter—makes it suitable for fixation in smaller bones or regions where fine control is required, particularly when using DCP or LC‑DCP plating for cortical bone compression and stabilization.
