Advanced Locking Technology for Secure FixationEngineered for the highest standards in orthopedic trauma surgery, the 6.5mm Cancellous Locking Screw delivers robust fixation through its advanced locking head and cancellous thread design. The screws 16mm threaded length and hex drive allow for precise, secure installation, specifically optimized for long bones such as the femur and tibia. Its self-tapping tip further improves ease of insertion and surgical efficiency.
Superior Material and Sterilization StandardsManufactured from premium medical-grade stainless steel or titanium, this screw guarantees durability and biocompatibility. Each screw is meticulously polished or passivated, and individually packed in sterile blister or Tyvek pouches. It is gamma or EO sterilized, ensuring patient safety and compliance with ISO 13485 and CE certification.
Designed for Compatibility and ConvenienceThis orthopedic screw seamlessly integrates with standard locking plates, reducing the need for specialized hardware in the operating room. Its variable length options and lightweight design (approx. 520g) offer tailored solutions for different fracture types and enable efficient, portable use. The high-precision machining ensures reliable outcomes in trauma procedures.
FAQs of 6.5mm Cancellous Locking Screw (16mm Threaded):
Q: How is the 6.5mm Cancellous Locking Screw used in orthopedic surgery?
A: This screw is primarily utilized for internal fixation of bone fractures in long bones, such as the femur and tibia. Its locking head provides rigid fixation when paired with standard locking plates, supporting trauma recovery by securing bone fragments until they heal properly.
Q: What are the main benefits of the hexagonal locking head and self-tapping tip?
A: The hexagonal locking head offers stable engagement with compatible instruments, reducing the risk of slippage during insertion. The self-tapping tip allows for easier, more efficient insertion into cancellous bone, minimizing operative time and potential bone trauma.
Q: When should the 6.5mm Cancellous Locking Screw be selected over non-locking screws?
A: This screw is chosen when enhanced bone stability is required, particularly in osteoporotic or comminuted fractures. The locking mechanism prevents screw loosening and supports effective fixation even when bone quality is compromised.
Q: Where is this screw typically applied within the body?
A: The screw is designed for use in long bones, notably the femur and tibia, during trauma surgeries. Its cancellous thread and length make it ideal for securing fractures in these major skeletal regions.
Q: What process is followed to ensure the screws sterility and safety?
A: Each screw undergoes thorough sterilization using gamma radiation or EO methods. It is then individually packed in a sterile blister or Tyvek pouch, adhering to strict ISO 13485 and CE marking regulations to guarantee medical safety and a five-year sterile shelf life.
Q: Is the 6.5mm Cancellous Locking Screw compatible with standard orthopedic hardware?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible with standard locking plates, eliminating the need for proprietary systems and allowing for seamless integration into most surgical protocols.
