Self Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm with 2.0mm Hex Drive for Locking Plate Fixation

Description

The Self Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm is a critical component in modern small fragment locking plate systems, engineered to deliver angular stability and dependable fixation in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive procedures. By locking directly into the threaded plate hole, the screw forms a fixed-angle construct that enhances overall stability and minimizes reliance on bone quality alone.

Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and titanium alloy, the screw offers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. The self tapping thread design eliminates the need for pre-tapping, reducing surgical steps and improving procedural efficiency. Precision-machined threads ensure consistent engagement with cortical bone, supporting secure fixation even in challenging anatomical regions.

With a thread diameter of 2.4mm and a core diameter of 1.7mm, the screw is optimized for strength while maintaining flexibility to reduce fatigue-related failure. The 3.5mm locking head is designed to mate accurately with 2.7mm locking plates, ensuring controlled load transfer and resistance to micro-motion at the bone–plate interface. The 2.0mm hexagonal drive allows precise torque application and reduces the risk of drive stripping during insertion.

Available in a comprehensive length range from 6mm to 60mm, the 2.7mm Self Tapping Locking Screw accommodates a wide variety of anatomical requirements and fracture patterns. This versatility enables surgeons to select the optimal screw length for metaphyseal or diaphyseal fixation while maintaining consistent construct integrity. Compatibility with a 2.0mm drill bit ensures predictable preparation and accurate screw placement.

Widely used in small fragment orthopedic fixation, the 2.7mm Self Tapping Locking Screw contributes to stable constructs, reduced screw loosening, and improved healing outcomes. Its precision engineering, material reliability, and ease of use make it a dependable choice for surgeons utilizing locking compression plate systems.
