Synthes 400.814.96 1.5mm TI Cortex Screw Self Tapping 14mm

Synthes 1.5mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 14mm Length | 400.814.96

The Synthes 400.814.96 is a micro-fixation implant engineered for the highest level of precision in cortical bone. Manufactured from commercially pure Titanium (Ti), this screw offers superior biocompatibility and corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel. With a 1.5mm diameter and 14mm length, it is a critical component for stabilizing micro-fractures in the hand, wrist, and facial skeleton.

The self-tapping tip is designed with high-precision cutting flutes, allowing for efficient insertion into a $1.1\text{mm}$ pilot hole. This reduces operative time and minimizes the mechanical stress placed on delicate bone fragments during hardware application.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Titanium Biocompatibility: Titanium promotes excellent osseointegration and is the material of choice for patients with metal sensitivities or those requiring long-term micro-fixation where MRI compatibility is a priority.

• Micro-Fragment Precision: The $0.5\text{mm}$ thread pitch is optimized for dense cortical bone in small anatomical structures, providing high thread-density for maximum pull-out resistance despite the screw’s small diameter.

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The distal cutting flutes enable direct thread engagement following a $1.1\text{mm}$ drill pass. This is particularly advantageous in fragile bone where manual tapping might risk fragment displacement.

• Low-Profile Head Design: At only 3.0mm in diameter, the screw head is designed to sit flush within Synthes DCP (Dynamic Compression Plate) and LC-DCP (Limited Contact) systems, minimizing palpable hardware and soft-tissue irritation.

• System Versatility: Fully compatible with Synthes Moderate Hand Systems and specialized CMF modules, providing a modular solution for complex reconstructive challenges.

Applications

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

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

• Pediatric Trauma: Fixation of small-bone avulsions or micro-epiphyseal injuries where larger hardware would be obstructive.

• Reconstructive Surgery: Anchoring small bone grafts or stabilizing micro-plating constructs.

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 (2026 standards) for clinical implantation.
