Synthes 401.832.96 2.0MM TI Cortex Screw Self Tapping 32MM

Synthes 2.0mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 32mm Length | 401.832.96

The Synthes 401.832.96 is a high-precision micro-fixation implant engineered for secure anchorage in dense cortical bone. Manufactured from commercially pure Titanium (Ti), this screw provides superior biocompatibility and is the material of choice for patients with metal sensitivities. At a 2.0mm diameter and an extended 32mm length, it is a specialized component of the Synthes Modular Hand System, designed for "cross-bone" stabilization where standard micro-screw lengths are insufficient.

The self-tapping distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes, allowing the screw to carve its own thread path as it is advanced into a $1.4\text{mm}$ pilot hole. This eliminates the manual tapping step, reducing operative time and minimizing mechanical stress during long-track insertion in delicate fragments.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

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

• Extended Bicortical Reach: At 32mm, this screw is optimized for oblique "lag" trajectories or for spanning wider bone diameters in the metacarpals or midface where a standard 2.0mm screw would fall short.

• 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 navigating a 32mm path through fragile bone.

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

• Precision Thread Pitch: The $0.6\text{mm}$ pitch provides high thread density, maximizing pull-out resistance even in thin cortical layers.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Bicortical fixation of long-segment metacarpal fractures or carpal fusions requiring deep purchase.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Surgery: Stabilization of mandibular fractures or reconstructive bone grafting where a 32mm reach is required to engage the far cortex.

• Podiatric Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal fractures or small-bone osteotomies.

• Reconstructive Trauma: Providing stable "multi-point" anchorage in complex, comminuted micro-fractures.
