Our 5.0mm Interlocking Nail Bolt (also commonly referred to as an interlocking screw) is a critical component in advanced orthopedic trauma surgery. Engineered specifically to pass through the locking holes of intramedullary nails (such as femur or tibia nails), this bolt secures the implant to the cortical bone. This rigid connection effectively prevents axial rotation and telescoping, keeping the bone fragments perfectly aligned throughout the healing process.
Manufactured with a fully threaded profile and a low-profile rounded head, it provides maximum cortical purchase and eliminates soft-tissue irritation. The deep, precision-cut hexagonal socket ensures high torque transmission during insertion and extraction, reducing the risk of cam-out or stripping.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Torque Hexagonal Drive: Features a deep, precision-machined internal hex socket that optimizes driver engagement and prevents driver slippage under high torque.
-
Fully Threaded Cortical Profile: Designed with specialized cortical threads to ensure a tight, secure grip within both the near and far bone cortices for unparalleled stability.
-
Low-Profile Head: Smooth, rounded head design sits flush against the bone surface, significantly minimizing post-operative soft-tissue friction and patient discomfort.
-
Tapered Self-Tapping Tip: The blunt, tapered tip allows for smooth insertion into pre-drilled holes, saving valuable time in the operating room.
-
Premium Biocompatibility: Available in elite-grade Titanium Alloy or Stainless Steel, offering high tensile and fatigue strength to withstand physiological weight-bearing loads.
