Cortical Screws 4.5mm Self Tapping

The 4.5mm Cortical Screws Self Tapping are high-strength orthopedic implants used for fixation of fractures involving dense cortical bone. These screws are widely used in trauma and reconstructive orthopedic procedures where rigid fixation and reliable bone purchase are required.

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

These screws are commonly used with dynamic compression plates (DCP), reconstruction plates, and locking compression plate (LCP) systems, providing stable fixation and controlled compression across fracture sites to support proper bone healing.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the screws offer excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered threads ensure secure cortical engagement and reliable fixation under physiological load conditions.

They are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, long bone fracture fixation (femur, tibia, humerus), and veterinary orthopedic applications for large animal fracture management.

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