Synthes 214.732 4.5mm Cannulated Screw Fully Threaded/32mm

Synthes 4.5mm Cannulated Screw | Fully Threaded | 32mm | 214.732

The Synthes 214.732 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage in cancellous and metaphyseal bone. As a 4.5mm diameter screw with a 32mm length and a fully threaded profile, it is a versatile component of the Synthes 4.5mm Cannulated Screw System.

Unlike partially threaded "lag" screws, the fully threaded design is intended for positional fixation. It ensures that the threads engage both bone fragments across the fracture line, maintaining the precise anatomical relationship without active compression—critical in fractures where compression might cause fragment collapse or unwanted shortening.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Guided Precision: The 1.75mm internal bore allows the screw to be delivered over a pre-placed 1.6mm guide wire. This allows the surgeon to confirm the trajectory via fluoroscopy before the screw is seated, facilitating minimally invasive percutaneous placement and reducing surgical trauma.

• Maximized Pull-Out Resistance: The full-length threading provides superior anchorage, particularly in osteoporotic or soft metaphyseal bone. It acts as a "neutralization" device, protecting the fracture from shear and rotational forces throughout the 2026 healing cycle.

• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: The distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes that eliminate the need for separate drilling and tapping steps in most cancellous bone applications. This reduces operative time and minimizes instrumentation requirements on the surgical field.

• High-Torque Drive Interface: The 3.5mm hexagonal socket provides a robust interface for high-torque insertion into dense bone, minimizing the risk of head stripping during final seating.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 214.732 is highly corrosion-resistant and biologically inert, ensuring mechanical reliability during long-term internal fixation.

Applications

• Ankle & Foot Surgery: Fixation of malleolar fractures, calcaneal osteotomies, and midfoot fusions.

• Trauma Reconstruction: Positional stabilization of metaphyseal fragments in the proximal or distal tibia.

• Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery: Providing stable anchorage in pelvic ring disruptions where 32mm provides adequate depth for specific cortical purchase.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation of small epiphyseal fractures (Salter-Harris) where the guide wire protects the growth plate during planning.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: The implant is securely housed within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both inner and outer seals are intact, ensuring full material integrity and suitability for medical use.

• Sterilization Note: This device is provided in STERILE packaging. It is ready for immediate surgical use, provided the sterile barrier is uncompromised and the expiration date is verified per hospital protocol.

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

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the precision-machined 32mm shaft remains perfectly straight and the internal cannulation remains unobstructed.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
