Synthes 401.811.96 2.0MM TI Cortex Screw Self Tapping 11MM

Synthes 2.0mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 11mm | 401.811.96

The Synthes 401.811.96 is a high-precision micro-implant engineered for stable internal fixation in small bone fragments. Part of the Synthes 2.0mm Modular Hand System, this screw is designed for procedures where anatomical space is limited and hardware weight must be minimized. At a 2.0mm diameter and 11mm length, it is a foundational component for the fixation of fractures in the metacarpals, phalanges, and midface.

Constructed from implant-grade Titanium, this screw offers superior biocompatibility and is non-magnetic, ensuring high-fidelity post-operative MRI and CT imaging with minimal artifact. The self-tapping distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes, allowing the screw to create its own thread path as it is advanced into a 1.5mm pilot hole, enhancing surgical efficiency and tactile feedback.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Titanium Biocompatibility: Commercially pure titanium promotes excellent osseointegration and soft-tissue tolerance. Its lightweight properties and corrosion resistance make it the gold standard for permanent micro-fixation.

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The integrated cutting flutes at the screw tip allow for direct insertion following a pilot drill. This reduces operative time and provides the surgeon with superior haptic feedback during final seating.

• High-Torque Cruciform Recess: The cruciform drive ensures efficient torque transmission and provides a secure interface between the screwdriver and the screw head, reducing the risk of "cam-out" during insertion into dense cortical bone.

• Ultra-Low Profile Head: The 3.5mm head is designed to sit flush within Synthes 2.0mm plates. This low-profile geometry is critical in areas with thin soft-tissue coverage, such as the hand, to prevent hardware palpability or skin irritation.

• Precision Pitch Design: With a 0.6mm thread pitch and a 1.4mm core, the screw provides high-density engagement and excellent shear strength, ensuring maximum pull-out resistance in micro-fragment applications.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fractures.

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

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation in pediatric small bone fractures where 2.7mm or 3.5mm hardware may be contraindicated.

• Podiatric Surgery: Stabilization of delicate fractures or osteotomies in the forefoot.

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.
