The AO Cortex 1.5mm Self-Tapping Screws – 105 PCS Titanium Set is a high-quality orthopedic implant system developed for the fixation of small bone fractures, hand fractures, foot fractures, maxillofacial procedures, pediatric orthopedic applications, and reconstructive trauma surgery. Designed according to AO fixation principles, these screws provide precise cortical fixation while supporting stable internal bone fixation.
Each screw features a 1.5mm diameter and a self-tapping thread design, eliminating the need for manual thread cutting in most clinical applications. The self-tapping tip cuts its own thread during insertion, simplifying surgical procedures, reducing operative time, and improving fixation efficiency.
The cortical thread profile is specifically engineered for fixation in dense cortical bone, providing excellent screw purchase and mechanical stability. These screws are commonly used with 1.5mm mini plates, reconstruction plates, and small fragment fixation systems, making them suitable for delicate orthopedic procedures requiring precision.
Manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), the screws offer exceptional biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and fatigue resistance. Titanium Grade 5 is widely recognized as one of the most reliable materials for orthopedic implants due to its lightweight properties and long-term clinical performance.
Each implant is precision-machined to ensure consistent dimensions, accurate thread geometry, and smooth insertion. The screws are compatible with standard AO 1.5mm orthopedic instrumentation, allowing surgeons to perform procedures using established surgical techniques.
The 105-piece implant set provides a comprehensive assortment of screws suitable for hospitals, trauma centers, orthopedic clinics, hand surgery units, and ambulatory surgical facilities. The organized selection ensures surgeons have multiple screw lengths available for various clinical indications.
The AO Cortex 1.5mm Self-Tapping Screw System is widely used for hand fracture fixation, metacarpal fractures, phalangeal fractures, foot surgery, small fragment trauma, maxillofacial fixation, osteotomies, and reconstructive orthopedic procedures, delivering dependable fixation and excellent clinical outcomes.
