Synthes 4.5 mm Cannulated Screw Set

The Synthes 4.5 mm Cannulated Screw Set is a specialized orthopedic surgical kit designed for the fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, and other skeletal stabilizations that require precise and stable internal fixation.

Key Features:

1. Cannulated Design:
   The screws in the set are cannulated, meaning they have a hollow core. This feature allows them to be guided over a pre-placed guidewire or Kirschner wire (K-wire), facilitating accurate positioning during surgery.
2. 4.5 mm Diameter:
   The 4.5 mm dimension refers to the screw diameter, a size that provides robust fixation strength for medium to large bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus.
3. Material and Coating:
   Typically made from biocompatible stainless steel or titanium, Synthes screws offer excellent resistance to corrosion and biological compatibility. Some may feature specialized coatings to promote bone ingrowth or reduce infection risks.
4. Application:
   These screws are widely used in trauma surgery for the fixation of long bone fractures, including femoral shaft fractures, tibial plateau fractures, and humeral shaft fractures. They are also useful in reconstructive procedures where stable internal fixation is critical.
5. Advantages:
   • Improved accuracy and ease of placement due to cannulated design.
   • Enhanced stability for bone healing in load-bearing locations.
   • Minimized surgical trauma with less need for extensive exposure.
   • Versatility in a range of orthopedic procedures.
