The Story
Synthes 204.018 3.5mm Cortex Screw 18mm
• Model: 204.018
• 3.5mm
• 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 204.018 is a meticulously crafted 3.5 mm cortical screw designed for use with dynamic compression plates (DCP) and limited contact-DCP (LC-DCP) in small fragment orthopedic applications. At 18 mm in length and made from robust stainless steel, it combines precision engineering with reliable fixation in cortical bone. The fine 1.25 mm thread pitch delivers secure purchase, while the small hex socket head enables accurate torque control with reduced slippage during insertion.
Engineered for seamless integration into standard AO/DePuy Synthes surgical workflows, this screw aligns perfectly with both 2.5 mm threaded-hole and 3.5 mm gliding-hole drill bit systems. That makes it particularly versatile for use in small-bone fractures—such as those in the hand, wrist, or foot—where surgical adaptability and precise alignment are critical.
This medical supply or implant item is in its original manufacturer's packaging.
