3.5 mm conical screw, self-tapping (line extension)
The 3.5 mm, self-tapping, conical screw is a line extension to the Small Fragment Set. It includes lengths from 40 mm to 95 mm in 5 mm increments. The screws are provided in either stainless steel or titanium. Until now, they were only available as locking head screws. The new conical screw allows for compression across the fracture line. They come in a fully threaded and partially threaded version.
