Cortex screws are advanced orthopedic fasteners designed specifically for internal bone fixation procedures. These innovative medical devices feature a unique design that combines a self-tapping tip with variable thread patterns, allowing for optimal purchase in both cortical and cancellous bone. The screws are manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel or titanium alloy, ensuring biocompatibility and long-term stability. The distinctive feature of cortex screws lies in their thread design, which provides maximum compression and stability at the fracture site. The screws come in various diameters and lengths, accommodating different anatomical requirements and fracture patterns. Their precision-engineered threads are specifically designed to engage the dense outer layer of bone, known as the cortex, providing superior fixation strength. These screws are particularly valuable in trauma surgery, orthopedic reconstruction, and small bone procedures. The application process involves precise pre-drilling and careful insertion to achieve optimal bone purchase and compression. Modern cortex screws also incorporate advanced surface treatments that enhance osseointegration and reduce the risk of infection.
