3.0mm Cannulated Cancellous Screws

Product Overview

The 3.0mm Cannulated Cancellous screw is a part of Auxein's bone screw system. The screw is available in Short and long thread lengths.

Cannulated screws are used in bone and joint surgery to repair breaks and to secure artificial implants which may be used to replace part or all of a joint. The main advantage of cannulated screws is that they can be inserted over a guide wire or guide pin. The diameter of the guide pin is much smaller than the cannulated screw and can be more accurately placed in operating room. The screw is available with washer. The threaded washer allows use of the 3.0 mm cannulated screw in indications requiring a completely recessed screw head.
