Synthes 401.807.96 2.0MM TI Cortex Screw Self Tapping 7MM

Synthes 2.0mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 7mm Length | 401.807.96

The Synthes 401.807.96 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for secure anchorage in dense cortical bone. Manufactured from commercially pure Titanium (Ti), this screw offers the highest level of biocompatibility and is the material of choice for patients with metal sensitivities. At a 2.0mm diameter and a shallow 7mm length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes Modular Hand System, designed to provide stable fixation for small bone fragments in the phalanges and midface.

The self-tapping distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes, allowing the screw to be advanced into a 1.4mm pilot hole without the need for a separate tapping step. This ensures a high-tolerance "interference fit" while reducing operative time and minimizing mechanical stress on delicate bone fragments.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Advanced Titanium Biocompatibility: Titanium promotes excellent soft-tissue tolerance and minimizes the risk of post-operative allergic reactions. Its non-ferromagnetic properties allow for high-fidelity post-operative imaging (MRI/CT) with significantly reduced metal artifact compared to stainless steel.

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The integrated cutting flutes reduce insertion torque and eliminate the need for manual tapping. This provides the surgeon with superior tactile feedback during insertion, which is critical when fixing small, fragile bone segments.

• Micro-Scale Precision: The 0.6mm thread pitch provides a high thread density, maximizing pull-out resistance even in the thin cortical layers of the hand or facial skeleton.

• Low-Profile Cruciform Head: The 3.5mm head is designed to sit flush within the counter-sunk holes of Synthes Modular Hand plates and 2.0mm straight plates, reducing the risk of palpable hardware or tendon irritation in subcutaneous areas.

• Bicortical/Monocortical Versatility: At 7mm, this screw is ideal for monocortical fixation in the phalanges or for anchoring thin reconstructive bone grafts in CMF procedures.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal fractures, metacarpal head fragments, and small-bone osteotomies 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 neurovascular structures or growth plates is critical.

• Modular Plating: Fully compatible with Synthes 2.0mm modular micro-plating and LCP systems.
