1.5mm Self-drilling Screw

Key Features and Benefits of the 1.5mm Self-drilling Screw

Our 1.5mm self-drilling screw offers superior efficiency and precision in surgical procedures. Designed for quick and effortless insertion, it eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time and reducing surgical trauma. Crafted from high-grade biocompatible materials, the screw ensures optimal tissue integration and minimal risk of complications. Its compact size and self-drilling capabilities make it ideal for delicate surgical procedures, providing reliable fixation and contributing to successful patient outcomes.

Indications for 1.5mm Self-drilling Screw

The 1.5mm self-drilling screw is primarily indicated for delicate surgical procedures requiring precise fixation and minimal tissue trauma. Key indications include:

• Orthopedic Surgery: Used for stabilizing small bone fragments, securing soft tissue, and reinforcing internal fixation structures.
• Maxillofacial Surgery: Employed in the reconstruction of facial bones, fixation of dental implants, and other intricate procedures.
• Otolaryngology: Utilized in ear, nose, and throat surgeries for anchoring grafts, securing prosthetics, and stabilizing delicate structures.
• Plastic Surgery: Applied in various plastic surgery procedures for soft tissue fixation and wound closure.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in small animal surgeries for bone fracture repair, soft tissue stabilization, and other delicate procedures.

How a 1.5mm Self-drilling Screw Works

The 1.5mm self-drilling screw is a surgical implant designed for efficient and secure fixation. Its unique design allows for direct insertion into bone without the need for pre-drilling, significantly reducing surgical time. As the screw is driven into the bone, the screw’s tip creates a pilot hole, while the threads cut into the bone to form a secure anchoring point. This self-drilling mechanism ensures reliable fixation and prevents implant loosening, promoting optimal healing and stability.

FAQ

Q1: What is a 1.5mm self-drilling screw?

A 1.5mm self-drilling screw is a small surgical implant designed for precise bone fixation. It has a sharp tip that allows it to drill into bone without the need for a pre-drilled hole.

Q2: What is the primary function of a 1.5mm self-drilling screw?

The primary function of a 1.5mm self-drilling screw is to secure bone fragments or soft tissues during surgical procedures.

Q3: What material is typically used for 1.5mm self-drilling screws?

Most 1.5mm self-drilling screws are made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel to minimize the risk of rejection or infection.

Q4: What are the advantages of using a self-drilling screw?

Self-drilling screws offer several advantages, including faster surgical time, reduced tissue trauma, and secure fixation.

Q5: In which surgical procedures are 1.5mm self-drilling screws commonly used?

These screws are commonly used in orthopedic, maxillofacial, and dental surgeries, as well as in other delicate surgical procedures.

Q6: What is the typical length of a 1.5mm self-drilling screw?

The length of a 1.5mm self-drilling screw can vary depending on the specific surgical application. They are available in different lengths to accommodate various surgical needs.

Q7: How is the screw inserted into the bone?

The screw is inserted into the bone using a screwdriver or specialized surgical tool. The self-drilling tip creates a pilot hole as the screw is driven into the bone.

Q8: Is it necessary to pre-drill a hole before using a self-drilling screw?

No, pre-drilling is not necessary with a self-drilling screw. The screw’s design allows it to create its own pilot hole.

Q9: Can self-drilling screws be reused?

No, self-drilling screws are single-use devices and should not be reused due to the risk of infection and compromised integrity.

Q10: What precautions should be taken when using a 1.5mm self-drilling screw?

It is essential to follow proper surgical techniques and aseptic procedures when using self-drilling screws to minimize the risk of complications.
