Synthes 400.807.96 1.5MM TI Cortex Screw Self Tapping 7MM

Synthes 1.5mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 7mm Length | 400.807.96

The Synthes 400.807.96 is a micro-fixation implant engineered for high-precision stabilization in dense cortical bone. Manufactured from commercially pure Titanium (Ti), this screw offers superior biocompatibility and corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel equivalents. With a 1.5mm diameter and a shallow 7mm length, it is a critical component for the fixation of micro-fragments in areas with limited bone depth, such as the hand, phalanges, and facial skeleton.

The self-tapping distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes, allowing the screw to be advanced into a $1.1\text{mm}$ pilot hole without the need for a separate tapping step. This ensures a high-tolerance interface with the bone while minimizing operative time in delicate reconstructive procedures.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Titanium Biocompatibility: Titanium promotes excellent soft-tissue tolerance and is the material of choice for patients with metal sensitivities. Its non-ferromagnetic properties ensure the implant is MRI-compatible for post-operative imaging.

• Micro-Fragment Precision: The $0.5\text{mm}$ thread pitch provides high thread-density, maximizing pull-out resistance in the thin cortical layers of the hand or midface.

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The distal cutting flutes reduce insertion torque and eliminate the need for manual tapping. This is particularly advantageous in fragile micro-fragments where excessive mechanical stress could jeopardize fragment alignment.

• Low-Profile Head Design: With a 3.0mm head diameter, this screw is designed to sit flush within Synthes DCP (Dynamic Compression Plate) and LC-DCP (Limited Contact) systems, as well as Moderate Hand Systems, reducing the risk of palpable hardware or tendon irritation.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal fractures and small-bone avulsions where a short 7mm reach is required.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Surgery: Stabilization of midface fractures, orbital rim repairs, and thin bone-graft fixations.

• Pediatric Trauma: Fixation of small-bone injuries where avoiding growth plates or deep neurovascular structures is critical.

• Modular Plating: Fully compatible with Synthes 1.5mm modular micro-plating sets.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed & Sterile.

• Integrity: This implant is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile peel-pouch. The packaging is intact, ensuring the product's sterility, material integrity, and full lot traceability for clinical implantation in 2026.
