The 6.5mm Cannulated Cancellous Screws 16mm Thread Set (Stainless Steel) is a high-strength orthopedic fixation system used for stable management of cancellous bone fractures. These screws are designed with a hollow cannulated core, allowing insertion over a guide wire for highly accurate placement under imaging guidance.
The cannulated design improves surgical precision and enables minimally invasive techniques, reducing soft tissue damage and improving overall operative efficiency. This makes them especially suitable for complex fracture fixation where accurate alignment is critical.
The 16mm threaded portion provides effective interfragmentary compression when used in partially threaded configuration. This compression helps achieve strong bone contact, promoting faster and more reliable healing.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the screws offer excellent mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for high-load orthopedic applications.
These screws are commonly used in fixation of fractures involving the femoral head, proximal tibia, distal femur, and other cancellous bone regions. They are also widely used in reconstructive orthopedic and veterinary procedures.
Precision-engineered threads ensure smooth insertion, strong bone purchase, and dependable fixation performance in clinical use.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
