Zimmer 07.00440.001 Lock Nut Driver/Socket

Zimmer Lock Nut Driver/Socket | High-Torque Fixation | 07.00440.001 | Reusable

The Zimmer 07.00440.001 is a specialized orthopedic power and manual accessory engineered for the secure engagement and final tightening of locking nuts within complex internal fixation constructs. Designed as part of Zimmer Biomet’s premium trauma and reconstructive suites, this driver/socket interface provides the mechanical stability required to apply precise torque to modular components, ensuring that locking elements are fully seated to prevent post-operative hardware loosening.

Constructed from high-tensile surgical stainless steel, the 07.00440.001 features a precision-machined internal socket geometry that minimizes the risk of "rounding off" nut corners—a critical factor when performing high-torque final tightening in spinal deformity correction or large-fragment trauma fixations.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Zimmer Biomet

• Product Type: Lock Nut Driver / Socket

• Material: Medical-Grade Surgical Stainless Steel

• Interface: Quick-Connect (AO/Synthes Style Compatible)

• Application: Manual or Powered Torque Application

• Cleaning: Fully Autoclavable / Reusable

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision-Machined Socket Interface: The internal hexagonal or specialized drive geometry is calibrated for a "zero-slip" fit with Zimmer lock nuts. This ensures that 100% of the applied torque is transferred to the hardware, which is essential for reaching the rated Newton-meter (Nm) specifications of the implant.

• Anti-Cam-Out Design: The socket depth and wall thickness are engineered to resist "cam-out" or slipping under high rotational loads. This protects both the implant and the surrounding soft tissue from accidental instrument displacement during the final tightening phase.

• Universal Quick-Connect Integration: Featuring a standard AO-style quick-connect shank, this driver integrates seamlessly with modular T-handles, ratcheting handles, and calibrated torque wrenches found in modern orthopedic trays.

• Streamlined Procedural Workflow: The compact, low-profile design allows the driver to reach recessed locking nuts in deep surgical corridors, such as those encountered in posterior spinal fusions or pelvic reconstructions, without requiring excessive soft-tissue retraction.

• High-Durability Stainless Steel: Forged to maintain strict tolerances through hundreds of high-torque applications and aggressive autoclave cycles, ensuring the drive interface remains crisp and reliable.

Applications

• Spine Surgery: Final tightening of locking nuts on pedicle screw-to-rod constructs.

• Orthopedic Trauma: Seating locking nuts in modular internal fixation systems and intramedullary nail assemblies.

• Reconstructive Surgery: Ensuring the integrity of modular orthopedic implants where multi-component stabilization is required.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs or cosmetic "tray wear" consistent with standard hospital processing), but it remains fully functional. The internal drive socket is crisp and free of deformation, the quick-connect shank is secure, and the stainless steel is free of pitting.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all Zimmer orthopedic accessories are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective, padded packaging to ensure the precision-machined socket and quick-connect interface remain in factory-standard condition during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
