About DHS Screw
The Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgeries for stabilizing intertrochanteric and certain subtrochanteric femoral fractures. Made from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, it ensures strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Advin Health Care supplies this screw to help surgeons achieve precise fracture fixation with controlled compression, which enhances bone healing. The design of the DHS Screw allows for controlled sliding and load sharing, reducing stress on the implant while promoting fracture union. It is commonly used with a side plate to provide optimal stability and functional recovery for patients with hip fractures.

Robust Design for Optimal Bone FixationEngineered with high-strength stainless steel and precision forging techniques, the DHS screw offers reliable fixation of bone fragments. The hexagonal head ensures secure fitment while the smooth polished surface reduces tissue irritation, supporting optimal post-surgical recovery for patients.
Versatile Sizing and Thread OptionsDHS screws are available in a range of lengths from 50mm to 130mm, allowing surgeons to select the best fit for individual patient anatomy and the nature of the fracture. Options include both full- and partial-threaded variants, accommodating various surgical requirements and fixation needs.
Sterility and Compliance You Can TrustEvery DHS screw comes in individually sterile packaging and meets international standards (ISO 13485 & CE). Its compatibility with autoclave sterilization ensures infection control, making it safe for both single-use and reusable orthopedic procedures.
FAQ's of DHS Screw:
Q: How does the DHS screw facilitate fixation of proximal femoral fractures?
A: The DHS screw is specifically designed to securely join and stabilize bone fragments in the proximal femur during orthopedic surgery. Its precise threading and strong stainless steel composition provide stable fixation, aiding in efficient healing after bone injury.
Q: What are the available sizes and thread types for DHS screws?
A: DHS screws are offered in lengths ranging from 50mm to 130mm, with both full threaded and partial threaded options. This variety enables surgeons to choose the most suitable screw for the specific fracture and patient anatomy.
Q: When should DHS screws be used in orthopedic surgery?
A: DHS screws are typically employed in orthopedic procedures to fixate proximal femoral fractures. They are used when secure internal fixation is crucial for bone healing, especially in cases involving the hip or upper thigh region.
Q: Where can DHS screws be used, and are they compatible with standard instruments?
A: DHS screws are primarily utilized in operating rooms during orthopedic procedures. They are compatible with standard DHS plates and instruments, making them a versatile choice for hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers.
Q: What is the sterilization process for DHS screws before use?
A: DHS screws are packaged in sterile conditions and are compatible with autoclave sterilization. This process ensures the screws remain free from contaminants and safe for surgical implantation.
Q: Can DHS screws be reused, and what are the storage recommendations?
A: DHS screws can be used either as single use or reusable implants, provided they are properly sterilized according to protocol. For storage, it is recommended to keep them in a dry, clean environment to maintain their integrity and shelf life.
Q: What are the main benefits of using DHS screws manufactured to ISO 13485 & CE standards?
A: Screws meeting ISO 13485 and CE standards guarantee high quality, reliable performance, and stringent safety in surgical settings. Surgeons benefit from trusted implants with proven precision, strength, and infection control.
