The Story
Synthes 208.040 7.0mm Cannulated Screw 16mm Thread 40mm
• Model: 208.040
• 7.0mm
• 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 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.
Guided, Precise Fixation for Trauma Surgery
The Synthes 208.040 cannulated screw features a 2.1 mm hollow core, allowing surgeons to precisely guide the screw over a Kirschner wire. This guided approach ensures accurate trajectory and alignment—crucial in trauma procedures like femoral neck fixation or patellar repair—especially when drilling access is limited or a minimally invasive trajectory is required.
Sturdy and Compatible Design
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this screw offers enduring strength and corrosion resistance. With a robust 7 mm thread diameter and 16 mm thread length, it provides strong purchase and compression in cancellous bone while minimizing excess material in surrounding soft tissue. The large 8 mm hex socket head allows firm torque application using standard Synthes hex drivers, promoting reliable insertion without slippage.
Streamlined Surgical Workflow
At 40 mm in total length, this screw is moderate-sized and versatile for various anatomic applications. Its compatibility with both sterile and open-pack protocols gives surgical teams flexibility in managing inventories and cost. As part of the broader Synthes cannulated system, this screw fits seamlessly into established surgical workflows and instrument sets, offering dependable performance and ease of integration.
