Synthes 202.008 2.7mm Cortex Screw 8mm

Synthes 2.7mm Cortex Screw | Fully Threaded | 8mm Length | 202.008

The Synthes 202.008 is a foundational internal fixation implant designed for secure anchorage in dense cortical bone. As a 2.7mm diameter screw with a low-profile 8mm length, it is a core component of the Synthes Small Fragment and Mini-Fragment systems. This screw is engineered to provide stable fixation for fractures in regions with limited bone depth, such as the hand, foot, and distal radius, where the bone's outer cortex requires a high-tolerance "interference fit."

Forged from implant-grade 316L Stainless Steel, the 202.008 features a standard cortical thread pitch designed to maximize surface area contact within the hard mineral matrix of the bone, providing superior pull-out resistance.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Cortical Pitch: The 1.0mm thread pattern is specifically calibrated for the dense cortical bone of the extremities. This geometry ensures a secure "bite" into the bone, providing the mechanical stability necessary for primary healing.

• High-Torque Hex Drive: The small hexagonal recess is designed to transmit precise torque without the risk of "cam-out" or stripping the screw head. This is essential for the 2.7mm system, where tactile feedback during final seating is critical.

• Low-Profile Spherical Head: The 5.0mm head is precisely engineered to sit flush within the counter-sunk holes of Synthes 2.7mm DCP (Dynamic Compression Plates) and the non-locking holes of Mini-Fragment LCP systems, minimizing palpable hardware in subcutaneous areas.

• Monocortical Versatility: At 8mm, this screw is frequently used for monocortical fixation or for anchoring plates in thin bone structures where a longer screw would risk penetrating adjacent joints or soft tissue.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to maintain its mechanical properties throughout the biological stages of bone healing.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fractures or small-bone osteotomies.

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Stabilization of metatarsal fractures and hallux valgus corrections (e.g., Scarf or Chevron osteotomies).

• Trauma Surgery: Fixation of small bone fragments in the distal radius or malleolar regions where bone thickness is minimal.

• Mini-Fragment Plating: Used as a neutralization or compression screw within 2.7mm plating constructs.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed & Sterile.

• Integrity: This implant is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile peel-pouch. The packaging is intact, ensuring the product's sterility, material integrity, and full lot traceability for clinical implantation in 2026.
