The Story
Synthes 214.056 4.5mm Cortex Screw 56mm
• Model: 214.056
• 4.5mm
• 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.
Reliability Tailored for Cortical Fixation
The Synthes 214.056 cortex screw is a precision-engineered implant crafted for reliability in cortical bone fixation applications. At 56 mm in length and a 4.5 mm thread diameter, this screw combines strength with balance, making it suitable for anchoring plates or achieving interfragmentary compression across diaphyseal fractures. Its self-tapping design permits insertion with a threaded hole—minimizing the need for pre-tapping and reducing intraoperative steps while preserving bone integrity.
User-Centric Design for Optimized Control
Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the screw resists corrosion and maintains mechanical integrity over time—essential qualities for long-term skeletal stabilization. The large 8 mm hexagonal socket head ensures precise torque application while reducing driver slippage. Knurled handles enhance grip during insertion and removal. Coupled with its compatibility with 3.2 mm threaded and 4.5 mm gliding drill paths, the 214.056 integrates smoothly into established plating systems and surgical workflows.
Cost-Effective Precision for OR Teams
With new units typically priced around $15 and open-package options available at nearly half that cost, this screw presents an economical choice without compromising on quality. Ideal for a wide array of orthopedic applications—from midshaft long-bone fracture fixation to reconstructive scenarios—the 214.056 offers surgical teams a dependable, easy-to-use solution that fits both performance and budget considerations.
