Superior Design for Stable FixationThe 4.0mm Cancellous Screw (Short Threaded) offers unmatched anchorage in metaphyseal and cancellous bone due to its partial threading and self-tapping tip. Its low-profile head minimizes soft-tissue disruption, and the precision-machined design guarantees consistent, secure fixation. Surgeons can choose between hexagonal or star drive systems, depending on tool compatibility and preference.
Surgical Precision and SafetySterile-packaged and radiopaque, each screw guarantees surgical safety and visibility under imaging. Its corrosion-resistant materialeither stainless steel or titanium alloyensures long-term stability and biocompatibility. The screws surgical grade precision and accurate fit are key to optimal clinical outcomes and efficient bone healing.
FAQs of 4.0mm Cancellous Screw (Short Threaded):
Q: How is the 4.0mm Cancellous Screw (Short Threaded) typically used during orthopedic surgery?
A: This screw is used for internal fixation of fractures in cancellous bone regions, particularly within the metaphyseal area. Its short-threaded, self-tapping design aids rapid insertion and strong bone purchase, reducing the need for pre-tapping or pre-drilling.
Q: What are the benefits of the short-threaded, partial thread design?
A: The short-threaded, partial thread configuration maximizes purchase in cancellous bone while minimizing stress on surrounding tissue, promoting effective compression and robust fixation at the fracture site.
Q: When should a surgeon choose this screw over a fully threaded option?
A: This screw is ideal when compression at the fracture site or lag technique is required, especially in metaphyseal areas rich in cancellous bone. Its design allows for selective fragment compression, unlike fully threaded screws.
Q: Where is this screw most commonly employed in bone fixation?
A: It is primarily utilized in metaphyseal fracture fixation, including areas such as the distal femur, proximal tibia, and other cancellous bone regions requiring stable internal fixation.
Q: What process ensures the sterile condition of each screw?
A: Every screw is individually packed and sterilized, typically using gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide processes, ensuring safety and eliminating infection risk during surgery.
Q: Can this screw be used with standard orthopedic tools?
A: Yes, the screw is compatible with standard hexagonal or star drive instruments, making it easy to incorporate into existing orthopedic surgical sets without the need for specialized devices.
Q: What storage instructions should be followed to maintain sterility and shelf life?
A: Store the screw in a cool, dry place and keep it in its original sterile packaging until ready for use. Adhering to these guidelines preserves its sterility and ensures its full five-year shelf life.
