The 5mm Safety Locking Self-Tapping Screws Stainless Steel are high-quality orthopedic implants used for secure bone fixation in locking compression plate (LCP) systems. These screws are designed to provide strong angular stability and reliable fixation in fracture management and reconstructive orthopedic procedures.
The self-tapping design allows the screw to create its own thread during insertion, eliminating the need for pre-tapping in most surgical cases. This improves surgical efficiency, reduces operative time, and ensures smooth insertion into cortical and cancellous bone.
The safety locking mechanism allows the screw head to securely lock into compatible LCP plates, forming a fixed-angle construct. This enhances stability, minimizes screw loosening, and maintains fracture alignment during the healing process, even in osteoporotic or weak bone conditions.
These 5mm screws are commonly used in fixation of long bone fractures such as femur, tibia, and humerus, as well as in periarticular and reconstructive orthopedic procedures.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the implants offer excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. SS construction ensures reliable performance under physiological load and repeated sterilization.
The screws are fully compatible with standard AO and LCP plate systems, making them suitable for a wide range of orthopedic applications in both human and veterinary surgery.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for fracture stabilization and internal fixation.
The implants are fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
