CytroFIX® 2.0 Cortical Screws / 2.0 Locking Cortical Screws

High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Precision Small-Bone Fixation

CytroFIX® 2.0 Cortical Screws (including standard and locking variants) by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) are meticulously engineered for small-bone fixation in hand, foot, wrist, and pediatric procedures. Made from high-purity titanium, these screws deliver excellent biocompatibility and mechanical integrity while minimizing soft tissue irritation. The availability of both standard and locking options ensures surgeons can tailor fixation to various fracture patterns and fixation plates in delicate anatomic regions.

Small-Diameter Versatility
  • A 2.0 mm diameter design ideal for small-bone applications in the hand, wrist (distal radius), foot, or pediatric orthopedics.
  • Streamlined screw profile reduces the risk of hardware prominence and soft tissue impingement.
  • Constructed from medical-grade titanium alloy (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI) for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
  • Minimizes allergic reaction risk and fosters a conducive environment for bone healing.
  • Standard Cortical Screws: Provide conventional compression and are compatible with standard non-locking plate holes.
  • Locking Cortical Screws: Feature a locking head design to mate with threaded plate holes, creating a fixed-angle construct that can enhance stability, especially in osteopenic bone or complex fracture patterns.
  • Reduced screw head thickness to minimize irritation under the skin or near tendons/ligaments in small-bone regions.
  • Torx or Hexalobe driver interface (depending on product SKU) ensures secure engagement and reduces the risk of cam-out or driver stripping.
  • Ideal for small fragment fractures, mini-fragment plates, or fixation in pediatric or upper extremity procedures (e.g., distal radius, metacarpal, phalangeal fractures).
  • Locking variants particularly useful in areas with poor bone stock or multi-fragment fractures requiring enhanced stability.
  • Active local or systemic infections, insufficient bone stock preventing stable screw purchase, or patient conditions precluding elective orthopedic surgery.
  • Surgeons must confirm that the 2.0 mm diameter is appropriate for the fracture location and patient’s anatomic requirements.
