The 5.0mm Interlocking Bolts Self Tapping (Stainless Steel) are high-strength orthopedic implants used in intramedullary nailing systems for stable fixation of long bone fractures. These bolts are inserted through pre-drilled holes in the bone and the intramedullary nail, locking the construct in place and preventing rotation, shortening, and axial collapse.
The self-tapping design allows the bolt to create its own thread during insertion, reducing surgical steps and improving efficiency in the operating room. This feature also ensures smooth insertion with controlled torque and reduced operative time.
These interlocking bolts are essential in maintaining rigid fixation in fractures of long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus, especially in unstable, comminuted, or segmental fractures where rotational stability is critical.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the bolts offer excellent mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for high-load orthopedic applications.
The precision-machined threads ensure accurate bone engagement and reliable fixation performance under physiological load conditions. These bolts are compatible with standard intramedullary nail systems designed for 5.0mm interlocking configurations.
They are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for long bone stabilization.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient surgical workflow.
