Synthes 214.830 4.5mm Cortex Screw Self Tapping 30mm

Synthes 4.5mm Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 30mm | 214.830

The Synthes 214.830 is a high-strength internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage in dense cortical bone. As a 4.5mm diameter screw with a 30mm length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes Large Fragment System. This screw is specifically designed for the stabilization of fractures in long bones such as the humerus, tibia, and fibula, where robust mechanical properties are required to maintain anatomical reduction.

Constructed from 316L Surgical Stainless Steel, the 214.830 features a self-tapping distal tip with precision-machined cutting flutes. This design allows the screw to create its own thread path as it is advanced into a 3.2mm pilot hole, enhancing surgical efficiency by eliminating the need for a separate tapping step while providing excellent tactile feedback during final seating.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The integrated cutting flutes at the screw tip allow for direct insertion following a pilot drill. This reduces operative time and ensures a precise, high-friction interface between the screw threads and the cortical bone.

• High-Torque Hex Drive: The 3.5mm hexagonal socket provides a secure interface for the high-torque insertion required to seat the screw into thick diaphyseal bone without the risk of "cam-out" or head stripping.

• Optimized Pitch for Cortical Bone: The 1.75mm thread pitch is specifically engineered to maximize surface area contact within the hard outer shell of the bone, providing exceptional pull-out resistance.

• Universal System Compatibility: The 8.0mm spherical head is designed to sit flush within Synthes 4.5mm DCP, LC-DCP, and LCP (Locking Compression Plate) systems, facilitating both neutralization and compression constructs.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from cold-worked surgical steel, the 214.830 is biologically inert and offers high fatigue resistance, essential for early functional mobilization in 2026.

Applications

• Long Bone Trauma: Primary fixation for fractures of the humerus, tibia, and distal femur.

• Plate Fixation: Securing large fragment compression or neutralization plates to the bone surface.

• Osteotomies: Stabilizing bone-cut sites in reconstructive extremity surgery.

• Non-union Repair: Utilizing high-torque cortical purchase to achieve stability in revision cases.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Individually Packaged.

• Integrity: This implant is unused and maintains its original material integrity.

• Packaging Note: This item is identified as Open Package. While the outer bulk manufacturer's box may have been removed, the screw is individually housed and has been visually inspected for thread and drive-socket integrity.

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

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical hardware, Primis Medical ensures all Synthes implants are handled with the highest degree of quality control.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the precision-machined 30mm threads and hexagonal drive remain pristine.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
