Synthes 401.516.96 2.4mm TI Cortex Screw Self-Taping 16mm

• Model: 401.516.96
• 2.4mm
• A small, non-sterile, threaded rod with a slotted head typically used for internal orthopedic fracture fixation by being screwed into bone to hold plates or nails to bone or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of bone, or it may fasten soft tissue to bone;
• It is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes an implant-grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fiber).
• Screws available are: cortical, cancellous, malleolar, scaphoid, partially-threaded and fully-threaded, self-tapping, and cannulated.
• A "lag screw" can be any of these used to obtain compression.
• This device must be sterilized before use.

Precision and Strength for Hand Surgery

The Synthes 401.516.96 is a 2.4 mm titanium cortex screw, specifically designed for use in modular hand systems. With a length of 16 mm and a core diameter of 1.7 mm, it offers optimal strength and stability for small bone fixation. The self-tapping design facilitates ease of insertion, reducing the need for pre-tapping and minimizing surgical time.

Compatibility and Design Features

This screw features a cruciform recess drive, ensuring a secure fit with compatible drivers and reducing the risk of slippage during insertion. Its 4.5 mm head diameter allows for a firm grip and precise placement. The 1.0 mm thread pitch ensures secure anchorage in cortical bone, providing reliable fixation in various orthopedic procedures.

Application in Modular Hand Systems

Designed for use with modular hand systems, the 401.516.96 screw is ideal for stabilizing fractures and osteotomies in the hand. Its compatibility with 1.8 mm threaded holes and 2.4 mm gliding hole drill bits ensures versatility and ease of use in surgical procedures. The single-use, sterile packaging maintains the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety.
