Cortex Bone Screw 1.5mm Self-Tapping is a small-fragment veterinary orthopedic implant screw designed for TPLO plate fixation, compact cortical bone purchase, fracture stabilization, and delicate plate constructs in small animal orthopedic surgery. The available variants are Cortex Bone Screw 1.5mm Length 6mm Self-Tapping Hex Head, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, and 20mm, giving the surgeon a focused range for short trajectories and small patient anatomy. The screw has a 1.5mm cortical profile, self-tapping thread geometry, and a hex head drive interface for controlled insertion with compatible orthopedic drivers. It is used during small-fragment plate fixation, TPLO support work, mini-fracture repair, corrective osteotomy stabilization, and veterinary implant inventory planning. Veterinary orthopedic surgeons, small animal surgical teams, referral hospitals, teaching laboratories, and procurement teams use this screw family in orthopedic trays where precise small-diameter fixation and accurate length selection are required.
The 1.5mm self-tapping cortex screw works through a fine cortical thread profile that advances into a prepared pilot hole while forming its own thread path during insertion. The hex head accepts a compatible driver, giving the surgeon controlled torque transfer, stable seating, and measured advancement through a small orthopedic plate. The narrow 1.5mm diameter is suited to compact bone segments, miniature plate systems, and delicate fixation corridors where larger screws would be excessive. The self-tapping design reduces the need for a separate tapping step when pilot hole preparation, bone quality, and implant protocol support direct advancement. The head seats into the plate hole while the threaded shaft engages cortical bone, helping maintain plate position during fixation. Proper use follows orthopedic planning, compatible drill bit selection, depth measurement, driver fit, screw length choice, and facility implant handling protocol. This fine screw profile supports precision in small-fragment veterinary orthopedic plating.
Clinical use begins after orthopedic assessment, radiographic planning, implant selection, and preparation of the operative site. In TPLO-related fixation workflows, the 1.5mm screw may be selected where a compatible small plate system, patient size, and fixation plan require a fine cortex screw. During fracture stabilization, the screw supports mini-plate constructs for small bones, delicate fragments, or limited fixation zones where controlled cortical purchase is required. The self-tapping thread helps the screw advance into the prepared pilot hole, while the hex head allows controlled driver engagement during final seating. During compression or neutralization plating, length selection must account for plate thickness, near cortex, far cortex, and intended purchase without unnecessary projection. Veterinary surgeons use these screws with drill guides, drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, reduction forceps, and compatible plates. Final selection depends on anatomy, bone quality, plate system, hole position, and intraoperative measurement.
The 6mm to 20mm length range allows the surgical team to match screw length to shallow plate holes, fine cortical depths, and compact veterinary orthopedic constructs. Shorter lengths such as 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, and 9mm are selected for very shallow fixation points, miniature plates, and small bone segments where controlled purchase is required. Mid-range lengths such as 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, and 14mm support common small-fragment fixation points when the drilled depth confirms adequate purchase. Longer lengths such as 16mm, 18mm, and 20mm are selected for deeper trajectories or larger small-animal anatomy within compatible plate systems. Each hole should be measured with a depth gauge after drilling so the selected screw matches the actual construct. Keeping the complete range in inventory helps avoid intraoperative substitution with an unsuitable length. Variant selection follows drilled depth, plate thickness, cortical thickness, screw trajectory, and fixation role.
This screw is handled as a single-patient veterinary orthopedic implant and should be managed according to facility implant handling, inspection, packaging, and sterilization protocol. Storage should protect the fine threads, head geometry, and drive recess from contamination, deformation, or surface damage before use. Before placement, the surgical team confirms diameter, length, head type, thread condition, driver compatibility, and package status against the planned implant list. The nonpowered implant profile fits small-fragment orthopedic screw inventories used by veterinary hospitals, referral centers, distributors, and teaching programs. CE marking, ISO 13485 certification, and FDA compliance support procurement documentation for regulated purchasing environments. The $3.30 price point supports stocking multiple lengths for case preparation and tray standardization. OEM availability, return and replacement support, carton-box packing, and one-piece MOQ support clinics and distributors maintaining predictable supply for 1.5mm self-tapping cortex screw systems used in veterinary orthopedic procedures.

How is the Cortex Bone Screw 1.5mm Self-Tapping used in veterinary orthopedic surgery? The screw is used with compatible small-fragment plates after pilot hole preparation and depth measurement. The surgeon selects the 1.5mm diameter when patient size, plate design, and fixation location require a fine cortex screw. The self-tapping thread advances into the prepared hole, while the hex head provides controlled driver engagement. Final use depends on plate compatibility, bone quality, screw trajectory, and intraoperative measurement.
Which length should be selected from the 6mm to 20mm range? Length selection is based on drilled depth, plate thickness, cortical thickness, screw trajectory, and desired purchase. Shorter lengths are used for shallow fixation points and miniature plate constructs, while longer lengths are selected when deeper engagement is required. The surgeon should confirm each hole with a depth gauge after drilling. Stocking the full range helps prevent unsuitable length substitution during small-fragment orthopedic procedures.
What is the benefit of the self-tapping design? The self-tapping design allows the screw to form its thread path during insertion after pilot hole preparation, reducing the need for a separate tapping step when the surgical protocol supports direct advancement. This can improve workflow efficiency in compact fixation cases. The benefit depends on correct drill size, bone quality, driver fit, and controlled insertion technique. The surgeon determines whether self-tapping placement is appropriate for each fixation point.
How does a 1.5mm cortex screw differ from 2.0mm and 2.7mm screws? A 1.5mm cortex screw is selected for finer plate systems, smaller bone segments, and delicate fixation zones where larger screws would overmatch the anatomy. The 2.0mm and 2.7mm sizes provide broader fixation options for larger constructs and stronger cortical purchase when plate design and patient size require them. Diameter selection follows plate compatibility, bone stock, load requirements, and the orthopedic repair plan.
What role does this screw serve in a veterinary implant inventory? Cortex Bone Screw 1.5mm Self-Tapping serves as a fine small-fragment fixation option in veterinary orthopedic screw trays. It is stored with compatible plates, drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, implant organizers, and handling supplies. The 6mm to 20mm range helps clinics prepare for compact plate holes and small patient anatomy. Procurement teams use this screw family to support predictable case preparation for small animal orthopedic surgery.
