CytroFix 3.5 Cortical Screws / 3.5 Locking Cortical Screws
High-Purity Titanium Screws for Reliable Orthopedic Fixation
CytroFix 3.5 Cortical Screws—available in both standard (non-locking) and locking variants—are meticulously engineered by Cytronics (an Invamed orthopedic brand) to deliver robust fixation in a variety of orthopedic procedures. Crafted exclusively from high-purity titanium, these screws ensure biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Whether used in forearm fractures, ankle reconstructions, or other cortical bone applications, CytroFix screws provide consistent, secure anchorage critical to fracture healing and long-term implant stability.
High-Purity Titanium Alloy
Guarantees superior biocompatibility, reducing adverse tissue reactions and allergenic risks. Ideal for fracture healing across multiple anatomic sites.
3.5 mm Diameter
Offers versatility for a wide range of orthopedic applications, from upper extremity fixes to distal tibial repairs, ensuring stable cortical purchase.
Locking & Non-Locking Options
- Non-Locking (Standard) Cortical Screws: Feature a traditional cortical thread pattern for secure fixation, requiring precise drilling and tapping.
- Locking Cortical Screws: Incorporate a specialized thread design under the screw head, engaging with the plate’s locking holes for enhanced angular stability—especially beneficial in osteoporotic bone or complex fracture patterns.
Optimized Thread Profile
Engineered thread pitch and depth deliver solid cortical bone engagement, minimizing the risk of stripping or loosening under physiological loads.
Precise Drive Interface
Typically featuring a hex or star-drive recess (depending on product line), each screw ensures ease of insertion, reduced cam-out risk, and compatibility with standard orthopedic instrumentation.
Versatile Clinical Utility
Applicable to various anatomical fixation sites (e.g., humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia), including fracture fixation, osteotomies, arthrodeses, or general trauma surgery requiring 3.5 mm hardware.
Contraindications
Active infection at the operative site, insufficient bone stock, or any patient condition negating surgical intervention.
