Here’s the detailed product description for the 3.5 mm Cortex Locking Screw:

Overview
The 3.5 mm Cortex Locking Screw is a high-performance orthopedic implant designed for secure and stable fixation in cortical bone during fracture repair, osteotomies, and joint stabilization procedures. Ideal for small to medium-sized bone fractures, this screw combines precision engineering with advanced locking technology, ensuring optimal bone alignment and reduced risk of complications. The locking mechanism provides rigid fixation to the locking plate, offering superior stability, particularly in osteoporotic or weak bone. Made from high-strength materials like titanium or stainless steel, the 3.5 mm Cortex Locking Screw ensures long-term durability, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of orthopedic surgeries.

Key Features

  • Locking Mechanism: The screw features a unique locking mechanism that engages securely with locking plates, providing a rigid and stable fixation. This prevents screw loosening and backout over time, which is especially beneficial in challenging fracture sites or in patients with osteoporotic bone.
  • High-Quality Materials: Manufactured from premium titanium or stainless steel, the screw offers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. These materials ensure the screw’s durability and long-term performance in the body.
  • Precision Design: The 3.5 mm diameter provides the ideal balance of strength and minimal disruption to the bone. Its smooth shaft and sharp threads allow for easy insertion and secure engagement with the bone, promoting accurate placement and reducing the risk of misalignment.
  • Versatile Use: Designed for use in both trauma and reconstructive surgeries, this screw is suitable for a variety of bone fractures, including those in the hand, wrist, foot, and other small to medium-sized bones.
  • Minimally Invasive: The screw’s design minimizes soft tissue disruption during insertion, reducing post-operative pain and supporting quicker recovery times. Its self-tapping threads make for an easier, more controlled insertion, which is key in minimizing surgical trauma.
  • Compatibility: The 3.5 mm Cortex Locking Screw is compatible with standard 3.5 mm locking plate systems, making it an integral part of modern fracture fixation techniques.

Indications for Use

  • Fractures requiring rigid internal fixation, especially in cortical bone
  • Osteoporotic bone fractures where additional fixation stability is needed
  • Osteotomies and joint stabilization
  • Complex fractures of the hand, wrist, foot, and other small to medium-sized bones
  • Trauma and corrective surgeries requiring plate and screw combinations

Benefits

  • Enhanced Stability: The locking mechanism ensures optimal fixation and stability, reducing the risk of screw loosening, migration, or backout, especially in compromised bone conditions.
  • Faster Healing: The screw provides a rigid and stable fixation, promoting faster bone healing by minimizing movement at the fracture site, which is critical for successful union.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications: The screw’s locking mechanism and self-tapping threads provide excellent stability and alignment, reducing the chances of delayed union, non-union, or malalignment.
  • Minimized Soft Tissue Disruption: The smooth shaft and easy insertion process reduce damage to surrounding soft tissues, leading to faster recovery and less post-operative pain.
  • Improved Surgical Precision: The precise design and threading of the screw ensure a controlled insertion, making it easier for surgeons to achieve accurate placement and avoid complications during surgery.

Available Sizes:
The 3.5 mm Cortex Locking Screw is available in various lengths, typically ranging from 10 mm to 60 mm, to accommodate different fracture types and patient anatomies.

Why Choose the 3.5 mm Cortex Locking Screw?
