Synthes 400.690 1.3mm TI Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 10mm

• Model: 400.690 Synthes
• 1.3mm
• A small, threaded, non-bioabsorbable, implantable rod intended for internal orthopaedic fixation by being screwed into a limb bone, rib, the sternum and/or pelvis to hold a plate, nail, rod or prosthesis to the bone, or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of a fractured bone; it is not intended to be introduced through the sleeve of a femoral neck fixation plate/sleeve, not used in dentistry/orthodontics, craniofacial or spinal bones, and not dedicated to intramedullary fixation/arthrodesis. It is typically of cortical or cancellous design and has a drive (e.g., slot, cross, star, polygonal) at its proximal end for introduction with a screwdriver.

The Synthes 400.690 is a precision-engineered 1.3 mm diameter titanium cortex screw, self‑tapping, and 10 mm in total length. It features a 0.9 mm core diameter, 2.4 mm head diameter, 0.5 mm thread pitch, and a cruciform recess for driver engagement. Designed for single-use, this screw is intended for use within DCP (Dynamic Compression Plate) and LC‑DCP (Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plate) systems, particularly in Moderate Hand instrumentation sets.

Crafted from biocompatible titanium, the 400.690 combines lightweight strength and favorable osseointegration properties, ideal for delicate bone fixation in hand or wrist procedures. Its self‑tapping design streamlines surgical workflow by removing the need for pre-tapping the cortical bone. The cruciform recess head ensures secure and precise driver engagement, reducing the risk of slippage during insertion.
