3.5MM HERBERT SCREW (HEADLESS)
+ Description
Discover the forefront of orthopedic innovation with the Ø3.5 mm Herbert Screw (Headless). This specialized implant is engineered for precise internal fixation in fracture repair, osteotomies, and bone fusion procedures. Its headless design allows it to sit flush with the bone surface, significantly reducing soft tissue irritation. The cannulated structure supports accurate, guide-wire-assisted placement, while its self-compressing mechanism promotes controlled consolidation of bone fragments for optimal he
+ Indications
- The Ø3.5mm Herbert Screw is widely used in orthopedic and trauma surgeries for stable fixation of small bone fractures. Its headless, cannulated, and self-compressing design makes it ideal for cases requiring strong fixation with minimal soft tissue irritation.
- Common Applications: 1. Hand & Wrist Fractures Scaphoid fractures (acute and non-union cases) Metacarpal fractures (finger bones) Phalangeal fractures (finger/toe fractures) 2. Foot & Ankle Fractures Talus fractures Calcaneus fractures Metatarsal fractures 3. Elbow & Forearm Fractures Radial head fractures Olecranon fractures Distal radius fractures 4. Osteotomies & Bone Fusion Procedures Carpal and metacarpal osteotomies Interphalangeal joint fusion Arthrodesis (fusion surgery) in small joints Advantages of the Herbert Screw
- Headless Design: Avoids soft tissue irritation and reduces the need for removal.
- Self-Compressing Threads: Ensures stable fixation and faster healing.
- Cannulated for K-Wire Guidance: Enables precise screw placement.
- Biocompatible Material: Usually made from Titanium or Stainless Steel, ensuring durability and reduced risk of rejection.
