Synthes 400.808.96 1.5mm Ti Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 8mm

Synthes 1.5mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 8mm Length | 400.808.96

The Synthes 400.808.96 is a high-precision micro-implant engineered for stable internal fixation in small bone fragments. Part of the Synthes 1.5mm Modular Micro-Fragment System, this screw is specifically designed for procedures where space is limited and bone density requires a low-profile yet secure anchorage. At a 1.5mm diameter and 8mm length, it is a foundational component for the fixation of delicate fractures in the hand, wrist, and midface.

Constructed from implant-grade Titanium, this screw offers superior biocompatibility and is non-magnetic, making it the gold standard for patients requiring post-operative MRI or CT imaging. The self-tapping distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes that allow the screw to create its own thread path as it is advanced into a 1.1mm pilot hole, enhancing surgical efficiency and tactile feedback.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Titanium Biocompatibility: Commercially pure titanium promotes excellent osseointegration and soft-tissue tolerance. Its non-ferromagnetic properties ensure high-fidelity imaging with minimal artifact compared to stainless steel.

• Self-Tapping Design: The integrated cutting flutes eliminate the need for a separate tapping step. This reduces operative time and ensures a precise fit within the cortical bone, minimizing the risk of micro-fractures during insertion.

• Ultra-Low Profile: Designed to sit flush within Synthes 1.5mm micro-plates, the screw head minimizes the risk of hardware palpability or tendon irritation in areas with minimal soft tissue coverage.

• Versatile Fixation: While primarily used as a plate-to-bone fastener, the fully threaded profile also allows for use as an interfragmentary "lag" screw to achieve direct compression of small bone segments.

• Precision Machining: Synthes manufacturing standards ensure consistent thread pitch and core diameter, providing predictable pull-out resistance even in thin cortical layers.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal and metacarpal fractures or small bone osteotomies.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF): Stabilization of midface, orbital, and frontal sinus fractures.

• Neuro-Reconstruction: Anchoring small bone flaps or titanium mesh systems.

• Podiatry: Fixation of delicate fractures in the forefoot.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — In Original Manufacturer's Packaging.

• Integrity: This implant remains in its original, factory-sealed packaging. It has never been used and maintains full material integrity.

• Sterilization Note: 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 in 2026.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical hardware, Primis Medical ensures all titanium micro-hardware is stored in climate-controlled environments to preserve its structural and chemical integrity.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the precision-machined 1.5mm threads and the factory-sealed pouch remain pristine.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
