Orthopedic Washer 10mm for Small Bone Screws with Precision Fit and Stable Load Distribution

Description

The 10mm Orthopedic Washer for Small Screws is a critical implant accessory engineered to support reliable fixation in orthopedic and trauma surgery. Designed with exact dimensional accuracy, this washer plays an essential role in distributing mechanical load over a broader surface area, which is particularly important when working with small-diameter screws or compromised bone quality. By reducing point pressure beneath the screw head, the washer helps prevent bone crushing, screw pull-through, and fixation failure.

With an inner diameter of 5 mm, the washer ensures a secure and centered fit around compatible screw shafts, maintaining proper alignment throughout insertion and tightening. The outer diameter of 10 mm provides an expanded bearing surface, allowing forces generated during compression to be evenly transferred across the bone or plate interface. This controlled force distribution improves construct stability and enhances long-term surgical outcomes.

The washer’s 1.3 mm thickness strikes an ideal balance between strength and low-profile design. It adds reinforcement without excessive bulk, making it suitable for anatomical regions where space is limited or where minimal implant prominence is required. The smooth, precision-machined edges reduce the risk of soft-tissue irritation and support atraumatic implantation.

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel or titanium alloy, the washer offers excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical reliability. Titanium options are especially advantageous in applications requiring reduced implant weight, enhanced imaging compatibility, or superior corrosion resistance. Both material options meet stringent orthopedic standards and are appropriate for repeated clinical use.

This washer is widely used in trauma fixation, reconstructive surgery, and veterinary orthopedics, particularly in small bone applications involving the hand, foot, or distal extremities. It is also effective when securing plates, where it helps maintain consistent compression and prevents screw head embedding into softer plate materials or bone surfaces.

To meet diverse market and institutional needs, the washer supports custom logo marking, customized color finishes, customer-specific sizing, and tailored packaging solutions. These features make it suitable for OEM supply, private labeling, and global orthopedic distribution.

Overall, the Washer for Small Screw 10mm is a simple yet indispensable component that significantly enhances fixation integrity, surgical precision, and procedural confidence. Its thoughtful design, reliable materials, and customization flexibility make it a trusted choice for orthopedic professionals seeking consistent and high-quality implant performance.
