3.5mm Cortical Self Tapping Screw 18mm 7.5 cm (3")

3.5mm Cortical Self-Tapping Screw (18mm)

This 3.5mm cortical self-tapping screw, measuring 18mm in length, is engineered for reliable fixation in dense bone structures. Designed for orthopedic applications, it features a sharp thread profile that allows for efficient insertion without pre-tapping, reducing surgical time and minimizing tissue trauma. The self-tapping mechanism ensures secure anchorage in cortical bone, providing stable compression and alignment during fracture repair or osteotomy procedures. Constructed from biocompatible materials, this screw offers high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for both temporary and permanent internal fixation needs in hospital and ambulatory surgery center settings.

• Fixation of diaphyseal fractures in long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus.
• Securing plates to cortical bone surfaces during open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedures.
• Osteotomy stabilization where rigid bone-to-bone compression is required.
• Repair of small fragment fractures requiring precise cortical engagement.

Specifications
