Synthes 214.526 4.5MM Cannulated Screw Partially Threaded /26MM

Synthes 4.5mm Cannulated Screw | Partially Threaded | 26mm | 214.526

The Synthes 214.526 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage and active compression in cancellous and metaphyseal bone. As a 4.5mm diameter screw with a 26mm length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes 4.5mm Cannulated Screw System.

The cannulated design allows the screw to be accurately guided over a 1.6mm guide wire, ensuring a precise trajectory in challenging anatomical corridors. The partially threaded configuration is specifically engineered to create a "lag effect," providing interfragmentary compression as the distal threads engage the far fragment while the smooth proximal shaft glides through the near fragment.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Interfragmentary Compression: The partially threaded design is the mechanical gold standard for achieving compression across a fracture line. By ensuring threads do not cross the fracture gap, the screw head draws the far fragment toward the near cortex during final tightening.

• Guided Accuracy: The internal cannulation facilitates percutaneous or open placement over a guide wire. This allows the surgeon to verify wire position via fluoroscopy before the screw is seated, reducing operative time and technical error.

• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping: The distal tip is engineered with cutting flutes that eliminate the need for separate drilling and tapping steps in most cancellous bone applications, preserving bone stock and streamlining the surgical workflow.

• High-Torque Hex Drive: The 3.5mm hexagonal socket provides a robust interface for high-torque insertion into dense bone without the risk of head stripping or "cam-out."

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from cold-worked surgical steel, the 214.526 is biologically inert and offers the high fatigue resistance required for early functional mobilization.

Applications

• Ankle & Foot Surgery: Fixation of medial malleolar fractures, calcaneal osteotomies, and stabilization of Jones fractures (5th metatarsal).

• Hand & Wrist: Stabilization of carpal fusions or distal radius fragments where a 3.5mm screw lacks sufficient shear strength.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation of epiphyseal fractures (Salter-Harris types) requiring guided placement.

• Small Fragment Trauma: Stabilization of patellar fractures or olecranon avulsions.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: This implant is unused and maintains its original material integrity. The 1.6mm internal bore is verified clear for smooth guide wire passage.

• Sterilization Note: This device is typically provided as a NON-STERILE implant. It MUST be properly cleaned and sterilized (standard steam autoclave) in accordance with validated hospital protocols and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical implantation in 2026.

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

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the 26mm shaft remains perfectly aligned and the threads remain factory-sharp.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
