Precision Design and CompatibilityEngineered with partial cancellous threading and a smooth shank, the 6.4mm Proximal Femoral Screw ensures firm bone purchase and compatibility with proximal femoral plates. Its hexagonal or slotted head design enables secure engagement with wrenches for accurate placement during surgery.
Superior Material and ComplianceManufactured from medical-grade stainless steel (316L) or titanium alloy, the screw is lightweight yet robust. It delivers high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, ensuring suitability for orthopedic implant applications and compliance with ISO 13485 and CE standards.
Sterility and Secure PackagingEach screw is individually packaged in a sterile blister or peel pouch, available as gamma ray or EO sterile, or non-sterile upon request. The laser-etched markings denote batch and size information, guaranteeing traceability and safety throughout the supply chain.
FAQs of 6.4mm Proximal Femoral Screw:
Q: How is the 6.4mm Proximal Femoral Screw used in orthopedic surgeries?
A: This screw is used to provide stable fixation for proximal femoral bone fragments, specifically in the management of femoral fractures. It is implanted manually, working in tandem with proximal femoral plates to stabilize bone and facilitate proper healing.
Q: What materials are available for this femoral screw, and how do they benefit the patient?
A: The screw is manufactured using medical-grade stainless steel (316L) or titanium alloy. Both materials are highly biocompatible and corrosion-resistant, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring long-term implant stability.
Q: When should the 6.4mm proximal femoral screw be considered for use?
A: It is indicated during orthopedic procedures involving proximal femoral fractures when secure internal fixation is needed to promote bone healing. Surgeons select this screw based on fracture pattern, bone quality, and patient-specific requirements.
Q: Where can the screw be visualized during or after surgery?
A: Thanks to its radiopaque properties, the 6.4mm screw is clearly visible on X-rays, enabling precise intraoperative placement and postoperative monitoring of the implant position.
Q: What is the process for ensuring each screws sterility and traceability?
A: Each screw is packaged individually in a sterile blister or peel pouch, sterilized via gamma ray or EO (upon request), and laser-marked with its size and batch number. This ensures traceability and reduces contamination risks.
Q: What are the key benefits of this femoral screw for patients and healthcare providers?
A: Its high biocompatibility, structural integrity, and secure fixation properties optimize patient recovery. For providers, features such as standardized sizing, sterile packaging, and wrench-compatible head design ensure ease of use and safety.
