Synthes 1.5mm Titanium Cortex Screw | Self-Tapping | 6mm | 400.806.96

The Synthes 400.806.96 is a high-precision micro-implant engineered for stable internal fixation in the most delicate bony structures. Part of the Synthes 1.5mm Modular Mini-Fragment System, this screw is designed for procedures where anatomical space is at a premium and hardware weight must be minimized. At a 1.5mm diameter and 6mm length, it is a foundational component for the fixation of small bone fragments in the hand, wrist, and midface.

Constructed from implant-grade Titanium, this screw offers superior biocompatibility and is non-magnetic, ensuring high-fidelity post-operative MRI and CT imaging with minimal artifact. The self-tapping distal tip allows for direct insertion into a pre-drilled 1.1mm pilot hole, eliminating the need for a separate tapping step and streamlining the surgical workflow.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Titanium Biocompatibility: Commercially pure titanium promotes excellent osseointegration and soft-tissue tolerance. Its lightweight properties and corrosion resistance make it the gold standard for permanent micro-fixation.

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The integrated cutting flutes at the screw tip allow the screw to "cut" its own threads as it is advanced. This reduces operative time and provides the surgeon with enhanced tactile feedback during final seating.

• Ultra-Low Profile Head: The 3.0mm head is designed to sit flush within Synthes 1.5mm micro-plates. This low-profile geometry is critical in areas with thin soft-tissue coverage, such as the phalanges or the orbital rim, to prevent hardware palpability or skin irritation.

• Precision Pitch Design: With a 0.5mm thread pitch, the screw provides high-density engagement even in thin cortical bone, ensuring maximum pull-out resistance in micro-fragment applications.

• Integrated System Logic: Fully compatible with Synthes DCP, LC-DCP, and specialized hand systems, allowing for a seamless transition between different fixation modalities within the same procedural field.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of small phalangeal fractures or metacarpal head fragments.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF): Stabilization of orbital floor, midface, and frontal sinus fractures.

• Neuro-Reconstruction: Securement of small bone flaps or titanium mesh screens.

• Podiatric Surgery: Fixation of delicate fractures in the toes and forefoot.
