Synthes 338.04 150° DHS Angle Guide – 4-1/4" Dynamic Hip Screw Orthopedic Instrument

The Synthes 338.04 150° DHS Angle Guide is a precision-engineered instrument for the Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) system. Specifically designed with a fixed 150-degree angle, this guide is used by orthopedic surgeons to establish the correct trajectory for guide wires and lag screws during the fixation of intertrochanteric and pertrochanteric femur fractures.

As part of the foundational DHS/DCS instrument set, the 338.04 is utilized when the patient's anatomy or the fracture pattern requires a high-angle approach for optimal stable fixation. Measuring 4-1/4 inches in overall length, this compact tool allows for accurate angular alignment while maintaining a low profile in the surgical field. Constructed from high-grade surgical stainless steel, it is designed for consistent performance and the ability to withstand repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles.
