The Locking Screws Self Tapping (Titanium) are advanced orthopedic fixation implants used in trauma and reconstructive surgery for stable bone fixation. These screws are designed to securely lock into compatible locking compression plates (LCP), forming a rigid fixed-angle construct that enhances stability and reduces the risk of screw loosening.
The self-tapping feature allows the screw to cut its own thread during insertion, eliminating the need for pre-tapping. This reduces surgical steps, shortens operative time, and ensures smooth and controlled insertion with minimal trauma to surrounding bone.
Manufactured from premium medical-grade titanium, these screws offer excellent strength, lightweight performance, corrosion resistance, and superior biocompatibility. Titanium ensures long-term implant safety and excellent compatibility with body tissues.
These locking screws are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, including fixation of long bone fractures, periarticular fractures, and osteoporotic bone conditions where rigid angular stability is required.
Precision-engineered threads provide strong bone purchase and reliable fixation under physiological load. They are compatible with standard locking plate systems used in small, medium, and large fragment applications depending on screw size.
These implants are also commonly used in veterinary orthopedic procedures for fracture stabilization in small and large animals.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
