The 4.5 mm diameter cortical screw from Micromed is designed to withstand high mechanical loads and offers maximum stability when fixed in dense cortical bone. It is particularly suitable for plate osteosynthesis and demanding applications in orthopaedics and traumatology.
The 4.5 mm diameter stainless steel cortical screw is a tried-and-tested solution for stable fixation in cortical bone and is used in particular for high-load applications. With a range of lengths available from 12 mm to 115 mm, it offers maximum flexibility for a variety of anatomical requirements and surgical techniques. Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, the screw offers impressive strength, corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical properties. The precise thread geometry ensures secure anchorage in cortical bone and enables controlled force transmission, which is crucial for stable osteosynthesis and reproducible results in the operating theatre. The Ø 4.5 mm cortical screw is primarily used in combination with plate systems and is ideally suited for the management of fractures of long tubular bones. Typical applications include, amongst others:
Fracture management of the femur, tibia and humerus Stabilisation of diaphyseal fractures Use in plate osteosynthesis Revision surgery where increased stability is required
Thanks to its high primary stability, the screw is particularly suitable for situations involving increased mechanical stress. At the same time, the well-thought-out design facilitates precise and efficient intraoperative handling, which improves safety and workflow in the operating theatre.
Micromed cortical screws are synonymous with consistently high quality, reliable performance and practical solutions for surgeons and operating theatre staff. The 4.5 mm diameter version is the first choice when maximum stability and load-bearing capacity are required.
