Engineered Precision for Optimal Bone FixationOur 4.5mm cortex screw offers meticulously machined threads, guaranteeing reliable fixation of cortical bone in trauma surgeries. The hexagonal head improves torque application and ease of insertion. Full-length threading ensures consistent bone engagement, crucial for stable fracture repair. Medical grade stainless steel construction provides both durability and biocompatibility, meeting the highest surgical standards.
Comprehensive Safety and Sterility MeasuresEach screw undergoes EO (Ethylene Oxide) sterilization and is packaged in an individually sealed sterile pouch. This rigorous process maintains the products integrity, reduces infection risks, and extends shelf life to five years if unopened. The product conforms to ISO 10993 for biocompatibility as well as CE mark requirements, reinforcing its safety profile for patient care.
Versatility and Compatibility in Orthopedic ApplicationsDesigned for trauma surgery, the screw is fully compatible with standard orthopedic plates, making it an adaptable choice for surgeons. Its range of sizes (20mm to 70mm lengths) covers diverse applications, while the self-tapping, corrosion-resistant properties enhance operational efficiency. This single-use implant is tailored for precise manual operations and ensures consistent outcomes in various clinical scenarios.
FAQs of 4.5mm cortex screw:
Q: How is the 4.5mm cortex screw sterilized before use?
A: The screw is sterilized using EO (Ethylene Oxide) gas and packaged in an individually sealed sterile pouch. This ensures it remains sterile until the package is opened in the surgical environment.
Q: What is the process for selecting the correct length of the cortex screw during surgery?
A: Surgeons determine the appropriate screw length based on fracture location and bone thickness. The screw is available in lengths ranging from 20mm to 70mm, allowing precise adaptation to the patients needs.
Q: When should this cortex screw be used in orthopedic procedures?
A: This screw is specifically intended for use in trauma surgeries that require cortical bone fixation, such as fractures in long bones where full-threaded engagement with the cortex is beneficial.
Q: Where can these screws be used in terms of anatomical location?
A: They are compatible with fixation of cortical bone in various anatomical sites, commonly in long bones like the femur, tibia, humerus, and forearm during trauma and reconstructive surgeries.
Q: What are the benefits of the hexagonal head and self-tapping feature?
A: The hexagonal head allows precise manual insertion and removal using standard orthopedic instruments, while the self-tapping design helps initiate the thread in bone without pre-drilling, reducing surgical steps and minimizing bone trauma.
Q: How does the products compatibility enhance its clinical use?
A: Being compatible with standard orthopedic plates, the screw easily integrates into existing surgical systems, allowing surgeons flexibility and streamlining the fixation process for various fracture types.
Q: What storage conditions are recommended for this screw?
A: The screw should be stored in a sterile, dry environment and kept in its original unopened pouch. Proper storage ensures sterility and maintains product integrity up to its five-year shelf life.
