Synthes 338.03 145° DHS Angle Guide Orthopedic 4-1/4"

Synthes 338.03 145° DHS Angle Guide – Dynamic Hip Screw Orthopedic Instrument

The Synthes 338.03 145° DHS Angle Guide is a foundational instrument within the Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) systems. Engineered with a precise 145-degree fixed angle, this guide is essential for helping orthopedic surgeons establish the correct trajectory for guide wires and lag screws during the treatment of proximal femur fractures.

 

Measuring 4-1/4 inches in overall length, this compact guide is designed for high-accuracy alignment in trauma environments. It ensures that the implant is placed in accordance with the patient's specific anatomical requirements, which is critical for achieving stable fixation in intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures. Constructed from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the 338.03 is built for reproducible results and long-term durability through repeated sterilization cycles.
