Synthes 216.055 6.5mm Cancellous Bone Screw 16mm Thread 55mm

• Model: 216.055
• 6.5mm
• 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 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 216.055 cancellous screw is engineered for secure stabilization in porous bone environments, such as the metaphyseal regions of long bones. With its 6.5 mm thread diameter and 16 mm threaded segment, it provides strong fixation and effective compression across fracture lines. The stainless steel construction ensures mechanical integrity and longevity, even under repetitive loading conditions.

Designed with a large 8 mm hexagonal socket head, this screw enables precise insertion with minimal driver slippage while maintaining a low-profile interface. Its compatibility with standard 3.2 mm and 4.5 mm drill systems simplifies surgical setup, enabling seamless integration into established AO plating workflows without requiring specialized tools.
