About Locking Bone Screws (Prod 160609)
The Locking Bone Screws each have their own color code to denote their style. They come in diameters of 3.75, 4.0, and 4.5mm as Self-Tapping and Self-Tapping, Self- Drilling, and in lengths from 10 to 16mm. Our exclusive thread design provides maximum purchase of bone, and our patented Cam-Locking screw head design restricts the backing out of the screw after implantation. The placement of the bone screws and locking of the Cam-Locking mechanism can both be done with the same Self-Retaining One-Step Locking Screwdriver. This coaxial nature of the locking mechanism ensures that if the screw can be placed, then it can be locked. Two styles of plate holding tacks are available, the Tack, which fits into the center tack holes and the Threaded Screw Tack, which fits into the plate’s screw holes, secure the plate to the vertebral bodies. The Self-Retaining One-Step Locking Screwdriver loads, inserts, tightens and locks the bone screws. To lock the bone screw into the plate, hold the screwdriver handle with one hand and with the other hand grasp the spoked wheel of the hexed outer locking mechanism shaft.
