Cortical Self Tapping Screws 3.5mm

The Cortical Self Tapping Screws 3.5mm are high-quality orthopedic implants used for fixation of fractures involving dense cortical bone. These screws are widely used in trauma and reconstructive orthopedic procedures where strong mechanical stability and reliable bone purchase are required.

The self-tapping design 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 bone trauma.

These screws are commonly used with dynamic compression plates (DCP), reconstruction plates, and locking compression plate (LCP) systems, providing stable fixation and controlled compression across fracture sites to support proper bone healing.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the screws offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Precision-engineered threads ensure secure cortical engagement and reliable fixation under physiological load conditions.

They are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, hand and foot surgery, maxillofacial procedures, and veterinary orthopedic applications for small and medium bone fixation.

The implants are fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
