stainless steel cannulated screw
The stainless steel cannulated screw represents a critical advancement in orthopedic and trauma surgery, designed to provide robust internal fixation for bone fractures and reconstructive procedures. This specialized medical device features a hollow core running through its entire length, allowing surgeons to insert it over a guide wire for precise placement during surgical interventions. Manufactured from high-grade medical stainless steel, typically 316L surgical steel, the stainless steel cannulated screw offers exceptional biocompatibility and corrosion resistance within the human body. The main function of this implant is to stabilize bone fragments, promote proper healing alignment, and provide compression at fracture sites. Its technological features include a cannulated design that facilitates minimally invasive surgical techniques, self-tapping threads that reduce insertion torque, and various head configurations such as countersunk or button heads to accommodate different anatomical requirements. The stainless steel cannulated screw finds extensive applications across multiple medical specialties, including treatment of hip fractures, scaphoid fractures, ankle fractures, foot and hand surgery, and arthrodesis procedures. Surgeons favor these implants for their versatility in treating both simple and complex fracture patterns. The hollow core design allows real-time visualization through fluoroscopy, ensuring accurate positioning before final fixation. Available in various diameters ranging from 3.0mm to 7.3mm and lengths from 10mm to 100mm, the stainless steel cannulated screw can be customized to match specific patient anatomical needs and surgical requirements, making it an indispensable tool in contemporary orthopedic practice.
