Cancellous Screw 6.5 mm with 4.0 mm core diameter
The 6.5 mm Cancellous Screw with 4.0 mm core diameter is indicated for foot and ankle fusions.
The 4.0 mm core diameter provides for 35% more strength in bending and 37% in torsion when compared to the standard 6.5 mm Cancellous Screw. The screws are fully threaded. The low profile screw head reduces soft-tissue irritation. It uses a 3.5 mm hex. The screw is available in stainless steel and titanium.
The screws are available in lengths from 60130 mm.
