Synthes 200.011 1.5mm Cortex Screw 11mm Orthopedic Hardware

Synthes 1.5mm Cortex Screw | 11mm Length | 200.011

The Synthes 200.011 is an ultra-fine internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage in the most delicate cortical bone structures. As a 1.5mm diameter screw with an 11mm length, it is a core component of the Synthes 1.5mm Modular Mini-Fragment System. This screw is specifically designed for procedures where anatomical space is at a premium and hardware mass must be minimized, such as in the phalanges or midface.

Constructed from 316L Surgical Stainless Steel, the 200.011 features a precision-milled, fully threaded profile. Its 11mm length provides sufficient reach for bicortical fixation in small bones while maintaining a low-profile head height to prevent soft-tissue irritation or tendon adhesions.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Micro-Fragment Precision: The 1.5mm diameter allows for secure fixation in bone fragments that would be prone to shattering if larger hardware were used. This is critical for maintaining the integrity of small articular surfaces.

• Lag Screw Versatility: Despite its small size, this screw can be used in a "lagging" technique to achieve interfragmentary compression. By over-drilling the near cortex to 1.5mm and using a 1.1mm pilot drill for the far cortex, the screw head provides active compression across the fracture line.

• Low-Profile Integration: The 3.0mm spherical head is designed to sit flush within Synthes 1.5mm micro-plates. This geometry is essential in regions with thin soft-tissue coverage, such as the dorsal aspect of the fingers, to prevent hardware palpability.

• High Core-to-Thread Ratio: The 1.0mm core diameter provides excellent fatigue strength for a micro-implant, ensuring the screw can withstand the early mechanical loads of functional rehabilitation.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from cold-worked surgical steel, the 200.011 is biologically inert and offers the corrosion resistance required for long-term implantation.

Applications

• Hand & Finger Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal shaft and tuft fractures.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF): Stabilization of delicate orbital rim or midface fractures.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation in neonatal or small pediatric fractures where standard mini-fragment hardware is too large.

• Reconstructive Micro-Surgery: Anchoring small bone grafts or stabilizing complex osteotomies in the forefoot.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Individually Packaged.

• Integrity: This implant is unused and maintains its original material integrity. The threads and drive recess are factory-pristine.

• Sterilization Note: This device is typically provided as a NON-STERILE implant. It MUST be properly cleaned and sterilized (standard steam autoclave) in accordance with validated hospital protocols and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical implantation in 2026.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical logistics, Primis Medical ensures all Synthes implants are stored and handled to preserve their mechanical precision.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the precision-machined 11mm threads and micro-shaft remain pristine.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
