5mm Inter Locking Screw

£194.89

Size: The screw has a diameter of 5mm, making it a relatively small screw suitable for use in smaller bones or delicate areas.
Material: The screw appears to be made of stainless steel, a common material used in orthopedic implants due to its strength and biocompatibility.
Shape: The screw has a cylindrical body with a sharp tip for easy insertion into bone. It also features a distinct head with a flat top, which likely has a slot for a screwdriver or a specialized tool for tightening the screw.
Thread: The screw has a threaded shaft, which helps to secure it in place within the bone and provides a strong mechanical hold. Interlocking screws are designed to be used in conjunction with interlocking plates. They have a special thread pattern that allows them to engage with the plate’s holes, preventing the screw from backing out and providing a more secure fixation.
