The Orthopedic 2.5mm Maxillofacial Screw is a crucial component in maxillofacial surgery, used to secure plates to the bone in the treatment of fractures or during reconstructive procedures. These screws are specifically designed to work in the delicate and complex anatomical structures of the facial skeleton. Here are the general specifications and features for this type of implant:
General Specifications:Material: Titanium or Titanium Alloy (preferred for its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion)Diameter: 2.5mmLength: Typically available in various lengths, ranging from 6mm to 18mm, depending on the surgical needs and the thickness of the bone being fixed.Head Type:Low-profile head: Designed to minimize irritation to surrounding tissues and reduce palpability under the skin.Cross or Hexagonal Drive: Allows for secure insertion and removal using standard surgical screwdrivers.Thread Design:Cortical Thread: Fine threading to engage with the dense cortical bone, providing strong fixation.Self-tapping: Often includes self-tapping features to facilitate easier insertion without pre-drilling, although pre-drilling may still be required in dense bone.Sterility: Supplied either sterile or non-sterile, with non-sterile versions requiring sterilization before use.Features:High Strength: Designed to withstand the mechanical forces exerted on facial bones during function and healing.Precision Machined: Ensures consistent performance, reducing the risk of screw breakage or stripping during insertion.Biocompatibility: Titanium material ensures minimal risk of adverse reactions, promoting better integration with the bone.Radiolucency: The screws do not interfere with radiographic imaging, allowing for clear post-operative assessments.Applications:Plate Fixation: Used in conjunction with maxillofacial plates to secure them to the bone in the treatment of fractures or during reconstructive surgeries.Orthognathic Surgery: Provides stable fixation for repositioned bones in corrective jaw surgery.Reconstructive Procedures: Utilized in the reconstruction of facial bones after trauma, tumor resection, or congenital deformities.Compliance:Typically conforms to international standards for medical implants, such as ISO 13485, ensuring they meet the necessary safety and quality requirements for surgical use.For detailed information, including the specific dimensions and threading characteristics, it’s advisable to consult the product documentation provided by the manufacturer.
