Synthes 202.020 2.7mm Cortex Screw 20mm

Synthes 202.020 2.7mm Cortex Screw 20mm

• Model: 202.020
• 2.7mm
• A small, non-sterile, threaded rod with a slotted head typically used for internal orthopedic fracture fixation by being screwed into bone to hold plates or nails to bone or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of bone, or it may fasten soft tissue to bone;
• It is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes an implant-grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fiber).
• Screws available are: cortical, cancellous, malleolar, scaphoid, partially-threaded and fully-threaded, self-tapping, and cannulated.
• A "lag screw" can be any of these used to obtain compression.
• This device must be sterilized before use.

The Synthes 202.020 is a precision-engineered cortex screw tailored for small-fragment orthopedic applications. At 20 mm in length with a slender 2.7 mm diameter, it's an ideal choice for minimally invasive fixation—particularly in hand, wrist, or foot procedures. The self-tapping design eliminates the need for pre-drilling threads, simplifying surgical workflow and reducing procedural time.

Featuring a 1 mm thread pitch and a 1.9 mm core, this screw provides robust anchorage while maintaining a low profile. The 5 mm spherical head design evenly distributes load across the bone-plate interface and, when paired with a small hexagonal socket, ensures secure engagement with drivers. This reduces the risk of stripping and enhances surgeon control during placement or removal.

Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, the 202.020 offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance—critical for ensuring performance through sterilization and storage. Packaged for single use, it promotes strict adherence to sterility and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Whether part of a mini fragment system or standalone in complex fracture repairs, it remains a trusted choice for precise, dependable fixation.
