The 3.5mm Safety Locking Screws are precision-engineered orthopedic implants used in conjunction with 3.5mm locking compression plate (LCP) systems. These screws are designed to lock securely into the threaded plate holes, creating a fixed-angle construct that enhances overall stability and reduces the risk of screw loosening during bone healing.
The “safety locking” design improves screw-plate engagement, ensuring reliable fixation even in osteoporotic or weak bone conditions. This feature provides added mechanical security, making the construct more resistant to pull-out and micromotion under load.
Manufactured from premium medical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the screws offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision threading ensures smooth insertion and strong purchase in cortical bone.
These screws are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, reconstructive procedures, hand and foot surgery, and veterinary orthopedic applications where stable plate fixation is required.
Compatible with standard 3.5mm LCP systems, these screws are fully sterilizable and supplied in surgical-grade packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room use.
