AO Cortex Screws 1.5mm Self Tapping

The AO Cortex Screws 1.5mm Self Tapping are high-precision orthopedic fixation implants used for small fragment bone surgery where accurate and stable fixation is required. These screws follow AO principles of fracture management and are widely used in maxillofacial, hand, and small bone reconstructive procedures.

The self-tapping design allows the screw to create its own thread during insertion, eliminating the need for pre-tapping. This reduces surgical steps, shortens operating time, and ensures smooth and controlled insertion with minimal bone trauma.

These 1.5mm cortical screws are commonly used with mini plates in maxillofacial surgery, craniofacial reconstruction, and fine bone fixation procedures where low-profile and high-precision hardware is essential.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the screws offer excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Their precision threading ensures strong cortical bone engagement and reliable fixation performance.

The screws are designed to provide stable compression and rigid fixation when used with compatible mini plate systems, supporting proper bone alignment and healing.

They are widely used in human orthopedic surgery as well as veterinary maxillofacial and small bone procedures.

The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
