The Story
Synthes 400.693 1.3mm TI Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 13mm
• Model: 400.693
• 1.3mm
• 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.
Precision Fixation for Delicate Procedures
The Synthes 400.693 is a finely crafted titanium cortex screw, ideal for securing small-bone fractures commonly encountered in hand and wrist surgery. Its slender 1.3 mm diameter minimizes bone disruption, while the 13 mm length ensures secure anchorage without excessive depth. The self‑tapping thread design eliminates the need for pre-tapping, simplifying screw insertion and improving surgeon efficiency.
Reliable Engagement and Reliable Workflow Integration
With a compact 2.4 mm head featuring a cruciform recess, the 400.693 screw delivers reliable driver engagement and minimizes the risk of slipping during placement. It's engineered to integrate seamlessly into Synthes’s modular instrument sets—compatible with both DCP and LC‑DCP fixation systems. Its thread pitch and core-to-shaft profile are optimized to achieve secure cortical bone holding while maintaining a low-profile presence in delicate anatomical regions.
Titanium Durability and Single‑Use Safety
Constructed from high-grade titanium, the screw combines excellent biocompatibility with durability across repeated sterilization cycles. Its single-use design ensures sterility and mitigates risks associated with reused implants. For orthopedic surgeons requiring precise, minimalist hardware in small-fragment fixation scenarios, the Synthes 400.693 is an efficient and dependable choice.
