Synthes 400.811.96 1.5MM TI Cortex Screw Self Tapping 11MM

Synthes 1.5mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 11mm Length | 400.811.96

The Synthes 400.811.96 is a micro-fixation implant engineered for high-precision stabilization in 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 11mm length, it is a critical component for the fixation of micro-fragments in the hand, wrist, 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 gold standard 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 bone 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.

• System Versatility: Fully compatible with Synthes modular micro-plating sets, providing a reliable solution for complex pediatric and adult reconstructive challenges.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal and metacarpal fractures, as well as small-bone arthrodesis.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Surgery: Stabilization of midface fractures, orbital rim repairs, and orthognathic fixations.

• Pediatric Trauma: Fixation of small-bone avulsions where larger hardware would be obstructive to growth plates or surrounding structures.

• Reconstructive Surgery: Anchoring small bone grafts or stabilizing micro-plating constructs in the upper extremity.
