The 6.5mm Cancellous Screws 32mm Thread Titanium Grade 5  are specialized orthopedic fixation components designed for selected surgical procedures requiring screw fixation in cancellous bone. With a 6.5 mm diameter and a specified 32 mm threaded section, these screws provide a defined implant configuration for use with compatible orthopedic fixation systems and surgical techniques.

Cancellous screws are designed for applications involving bone with a relatively porous or trabecular structure. Their thread geometry is intended to provide engagement with cancellous bone, while the screw head interfaces with compatible instrumentation and, where applicable, a fixation plate or washer. The specific clinical application depends on the screw design, head configuration, overall screw length, thread characteristics, and manufacturer’s approved indications.

The 6.5 mm diameter provides a relatively large orthopedic screw configuration suitable for selected fixation requirements. Screw dimensions should always be considered in relation to the patient’s anatomy, bone quality, fracture pattern, available bone stock, and the intended fixation construct. The 32 mm threaded section provides a defined thread length, but it should not be interpreted as the total screw length unless specifically stated by the manufacturer.

A cancellous screw may be used as part of a broader orthopedic fixation strategy or with compatible plates, washers, or other fixation components. Depending on the specific surgical technique, the screw may provide interfragmentary fixation, support fracture stabilization, or contribute to a plate-and-screw construct. The surgeon should select the appropriate screw type and dimensions according to the fracture characteristics and the manufacturer’s technical specifications.

Manufactured from Titanium Grade 5, these screws use a titanium alloy widely recognized for orthopedic implant applications. Titanium Grade 5 is known for its favorable strength-to-weight ratio, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. Titanium alloys have an established history of use in orthopedic implants, although the performance of an individual screw depends on its complete geometry, dimensions, thread profile, manufacturing quality, surface characteristics, and intended application.

The 32 mm thread specification identifies the stated threaded portion of the screw. Thread length can influence how the screw engages with bone and interacts with other fixation components. Correct screw selection requires evaluation of the entire implant configuration, including overall screw length, threaded length, head design, diameter, and compatibility with the intended surgical system.

The 151-piece configuration provides a substantial inventory of 6.5 mm cancellous screws within one organized system. This can be beneficial for orthopedic trauma departments, hospitals, surgical centers, and specialized orthopedic facilities that require readily available fixation screws for a variety of selected surgical procedures. A multi-piece system can also support implant inventory management and operative preparation.

Before implantation, each screw should be carefully inspected for deformation, surface damage, contamination, compromised threads, or other abnormalities. The screw threads and head interface should be protected during handling and insertion. Only compatible instruments should be used to prevent damage to the implant and to facilitate appropriate surgical placement.

Screw selection should be based on patient anatomy, fracture morphology, bone quality, required fixation depth, and the manufacturer’s approved surgical technique. The surgeon should confirm that the screw’s diameter, thread length, overall length, head configuration, and compatibility are appropriate for the planned procedure.

Appropriate surgical technique is essential to the performance of any cancellous screw fixation construct. Depending on the procedure, preparation of the bone may include drilling, tapping, measuring, or other steps specified by the surgical technique. These steps should be performed using appropriate instrumentation and according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning and sterilization requirements depend on whether the screws are supplied sterile or intended for processing before use. Healthcare facilities should follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions for use (IFU) for handling, cleaning, sterilization, storage, and implant preparation. Titanium Grade 5 alone should not be used to determine a sterilization cycle.

With a 6.5 mm diameter, 32 mm specified thread, Titanium Grade 5 construction, and a 151-piece configuration, these Cancellous Screws provide qualified orthopedic professionals with a standardized fixation option for selected cancellous bone and orthopedic trauma applications.

Product Specifications

FAQs

1. What are 6.5 mm cancellous screws used for?

6.5 mm cancellous screws are orthopedic fixation implants designed for selected procedures requiring fixation in cancellous or trabecular bone. Their exact application depends on the screw design and manufacturer’s approved indications.

2. What does 32 mm thread mean?

The 32 mm thread specification refers to the stated threaded portion of the screw. It does not necessarily represent the total screw length unless the manufacturer specifically defines it that way.

3. What material are these cancellous screws made from?

These screws are manufactured from Titanium Grade 5, a high-strength titanium alloy widely used in orthopedic implant applications.

4. How many screws are included?

The product is specified as a 151-piece system.

5. What is the diameter of these cancellous screws?

The screws have a specified 6.5 mm diameter.

6. What is the purpose of a cancellous screw?

Cancellous screws are designed to engage with trabecular bone and can be used for selected orthopedic fixation applications, including certain fracture stabilization and bone fixation procedures.

7. Can 6.5 mm cancellous screws be used with orthopedic plates?

They may be used with compatible fixation systems when the plate, screw diameter, head design, and locking or non-locking interface are specifically designed to work together. Compatibility should always be verified before use.
