The 3.5mm Cortical Cortex Locking Screws are precision-engineered orthopedic implants used for fixation of small to medium bone fractures in trauma and reconstructive surgery. These screws are designed to provide strong cortical bone engagement and secure locking within locking compression plate (LCP) systems.
The locking design allows the screw head to lock firmly into the threaded plate holes, creating a fixed-angle construct that enhances overall stability and reduces the risk of screw loosening. This is especially beneficial in osteoporotic bone, comminuted fractures, and complex fracture patterns where conventional fixation may not provide sufficient support.
These screws are widely used in combination with 3.5mm locking compression plates, reconstruction plates, and other orthopedic fixation systems. They help maintain fracture alignment, support bone healing, and ensure long-term structural stability.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the screws offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Precision-cut threads ensure smooth insertion, reliable fixation, and consistent surgical performance.
The self-tapping or self-drilling variants (depending on model) reduce operative steps and improve surgical efficiency, making them suitable for both standard and complex orthopedic procedures.
These implants are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, hand and foot surgery, maxillofacial surgery, and veterinary orthopedic applications.
The screws are fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
