Superior Locking Strength for Orthopedic StabilityEngineered to provide steadfast fixation, the 5.0mm Locking Screw features a fully threaded shaft and locking head, ensuring secure stabilization of fractured bone segments. Its compatibility with standard 5.0mm locking plates enhances surgical convenience and versatility across numerous orthopedic procedures.
Precision Machining for Consistent QualityManufactured using advanced CNC technology, each screw achieves impeccable accuracy and a polished, smooth surface finish. This high degree of precision ensures reliable mechanical performance, mitigating the risk of complications during and after surgery.
Safe, Sterile, and Ready to UsePre-sterilized via EtO or Gamma radiation and packaged individually in blister packs, the screws meet ISO 13485 standards for sterility and quality. This guarantees a long shelf life of up to 5 years under proper storage conditions, eliminating pre-use sterilization steps and streamlining surgical workflows.
FAQs of 5.0mm Locking Screw:
Q: How is the 5.0mm Locking Screw used in orthopedic surgeries?
A: The 5.0mm Locking Screw is manually inserted into bone during fracture fixation surgeries, using a compatible driver (hexagonal or star). It secures bone fragments together by locking into a matching 5.0mm plate, providing stable fixation vital for healing.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this locking screw over non-locking varieties?
A: Locking screws offer enhanced bone stabilization, minimizing movement at the fracture site. The locking mechanism provides fixed-angle stability, reducing the risk of hardware loosening and promoting reliable bone healing, especially in osteoporotic bone.
Q: When should I select the 5.0mm size, and what lengths are available?
A: The 5.0mm diameter is suitable for medium-to-large bone segments, commonly indicated in long bone fracture repairs. Lengths range from 24mm to 60mm, so surgeons can choose the optimal fit based on patient anatomy and surgical requirements.
Q: What is the process for ensuring sterility and safety of the screw before use?
A: Each screw is pre-sterilized using EtO or Gamma methods and individually sealed in sterile blister packs, complying with ISO 13485 standards. This process eliminates the need for additional sterilization prior to surgery, maintaining product safety and convenience.
Q: Where should these screws be stored prior to surgery?
A: Store the screws in their original, intact sterile blister packs at room temperature in a dry, sterile environment. This preserves their sterile condition and extends the products 5-year shelf life.
Q: Can the 5.0mm Locking Screw be reused after removal?
A: No, the screw is designed for single use only. Reuse may compromise mechanical integrity and sterility, increasing patient risk.
Q: What materials are available for this screw, and do they affect biocompatibility?
A: The screws are manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel or titanium alloy. Both materials are highly biocompatible and corrosion resistant, reducing the risk of adverse biological reactions and ensuring safe integration with bone tissue.
