Self-Tapping Cortex Screw 1.5 mm Hexagonal Socket Titanium & Stainless Steel Orthopedic Screw

Description

The Self-Tapping Cortex Screw 1.5 mm with Hexagonal Socket is a precision-engineered orthopedic implant designed specifically for reliable fixation in cortical bone. This small-diameter cortical screw is widely used in trauma, reconstructive, and small bone procedures where accuracy, stability, and minimal bone trauma are essential. Its self-tapping design allows the screw to cut its own thread during insertion, significantly reducing surgical steps and saving valuable operative time.

Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel or titanium, this 1.5 mm self-tapping cortex screw delivers excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. The titanium option is particularly beneficial in cases where reduced artifact imaging and superior biocompatibility are required. Both material options comply with international orthopedic implant standards, ensuring consistent performance and patient safety.

The hexagonal socket head is engineered to provide superior torque transmission and enhanced control during insertion. This design minimizes the risk of cam-out and ensures precise screw placement even in delicate anatomical areas. The low-profile head sits flush against the bone surface, helping to reduce soft-tissue irritation and improving post-operative comfort.

The optimized thread geometry of the self-tapping cortex screw ensures secure fixation in dense cortical bone. The thread profile promotes uniform stress distribution, which helps maintain bone integrity while achieving strong holding power. This makes the screw suitable for applications such as hand and foot surgery, maxillofacial fixation, pediatric orthopedics, and other small fragment procedures.

Surgeons benefit from the screw’s smooth insertion characteristics, predictable performance, and compatibility with standard small fragment instrumentation. Hospitals and distributors benefit from its consistent quality, wide range of available lengths, and OEM customization options. Customized branding, color anodizing for titanium, and tailored packaging graphics are available to meet specific market and regulatory requirements.

The Self-Tapping Cortex Screw 1.5 mm is an ideal solution for surgeons seeking precision, reliability, and efficiency in cortical bone fixation. Its design balances mechanical strength with surgical convenience, making it a trusted choice in modern orthopedic practice. Whether used in trauma care or elective procedures, this screw supports stable fixation and predictable clinical outcomes.
