Cortex Bone Screw 3.5mm Length Self-Tapping Hex Head Titanium is a veterinary orthopedic implant screw designed for TPLO plate fixation, cortical bone purchase, fracture stabilization, and corrective osteotomy work in canine orthopedic surgery. The available length variants are 08mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 26mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 34mm, 36mm, 38mm, and 40mm, giving the surgeon a broad range for plate placement and bicortical engagement. The screw has a 3.5mm cortical profile, self-tapping thread geometry, titanium construction, and a hex head drive interface for controlled insertion with compatible orthopedic drivers. It is used during TPLO procedures, veterinary plate fixation, long-bone repair, metaphyseal fixation, compression or neutralization plate application, and orthopedic revision planning. Veterinary orthopedic surgeons, small animal surgical teams, referral hospitals, teaching laboratories, and procurement teams use this screw family in TPLO implant sets and orthopedic screw inventories where accurate length matching is required.
The 3.5mm titanium cortex screw works through a self-tapping thread profile that advances into prepared cortical bone while forming its own thread path during insertion. The hex head accepts a compatible driver, allowing controlled torque transfer, stable seating, and accurate screw advancement through a veterinary orthopedic plate. Titanium construction supports lightweight implant handling and corrosion resistance within orthopedic inventory systems. The cortical thread pattern is intended for firm engagement in dense cortical bone, making it suitable for TPLO plate fixation and other veterinary plate constructs where screw purchase is central to stability. The self-tapping design reduces the need for a separate tapping step when the surgeon determines that bone quality, pilot preparation, and implant protocol support direct advancement. The head profile seats against the plate hole as the shaft engages bone, helping the plate remain positioned during fixation. Proper use follows surgeon preference, implant system compatibility, drill guide selection, pilot hole preparation, depth measurement, and facility implant handling protocol.
Clinical use begins after orthopedic assessment, radiographic planning, implant selection, and preparation of the operative site. During TPLO surgery, the screw is selected to secure the plate to the tibia after osteotomy positioning and plate contour confirmation. The self-tapping thread helps the screw advance through the prepared pilot hole and engage cortical bone, while the hex head permits measured driver control during final seating. In fracture stabilization, the screw may be used with compatible plates where 3.5mm cortical fixation is appropriate for patient size, bone stock, and surgical plan. During compression or neutralization plating, length selection is matched to plate thickness, near cortex, far cortex, and desired purchase without excessive projection. Veterinary surgeons use these screws with drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, reduction forceps, plate benders, and compatible TPLO plates. Final selection depends on anatomy, plate system, planned fixation points, bone quality, and intraoperative measurement rather than image appearance alone.
The 08mm to 40mm variant range allows the surgical team to match screw length to different plate holes, tibial regions, cortical thicknesses, and patient sizes. Shorter lengths such as 08mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm are selected where limited bone depth or plate position requires controlled shallow purchase. Mid-range lengths such as 16mm through 28mm support common cortical fixation points in veterinary orthopedic plating when bicortical engagement is planned and confirmed by measurement. Longer lengths from 30mm through 40mm are selected for deeper trajectories, larger patient anatomy, or plate positions requiring extended bone purchase. The surgeon measures each hole with a depth gauge after drilling and selects the length that matches the construct without unnecessary prominence beyond the far cortex. Keeping the complete range in inventory helps the team avoid compromising fixation because a needed length is missing. Variant selection follows drilled depth, plate thickness, bone contour, screw trajectory, and the fixation role of each hole.
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. Titanium implant storage should protect the screw threads, head geometry, and drive recess from contamination, deformation, or surface damage before use. Before placement, the surgical team confirms diameter, length, thread condition, head compatibility, and package status against the planned implant list. The nonpowered implant profile fits TPLO and 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 $2.20 price point supports length-range stocking where multiple screw sizes are needed for case preparation. OEM availability, return and replacement support, carton-box packing, and one-piece MOQ help clinics and distributors maintain predictable screw supply for titanium self-tapping cortex screw systems used in veterinary orthopedic procedures.

How is the Cortex Bone Screw 3.5mm Titanium used in TPLO surgery? The screw is used with compatible TPLO plates to secure the plate to the tibia after osteotomy positioning and plate alignment. The surgeon drills the pilot hole, measures depth, selects the proper length, and advances the self-tapping screw with a compatible hex driver. The thread engages cortical bone while the head seats into the plate hole. This supports plate stability during veterinary TPLO fixation when implant selection matches patient anatomy and surgical planning.
Which length should be selected from the 08mm to 40mm range? Length selection is based on drilled depth, plate thickness, bone contour, near cortex, far cortex, and the desired purchase at each plate hole. Shorter screws suit shallow fixation points, while longer screws are selected for deeper trajectories or larger patient anatomy. The surgeon confirms length with a depth gauge rather than relying on plate position alone. Stocking the full range helps the team match each hole accurately during TPLO and orthopedic plating procedures.
How does the titanium version compare with stainless steel cortex screws? The titanium version provides a lightweight implant option for veterinary orthopedic plating systems where titanium implant inventory is preferred. Stainless steel screws are also common in orthopedic sets, but implant material should be matched to the plate system, surgeon preference, procurement policy, and case plan. Titanium and stainless steel implants should not be mixed casually unless the implant system and clinical protocol support that choice. Selection follows compatibility, documentation, and facility standards.
What is the advantage of a self-tapping hex head screw? A self-tapping screw can form its thread path during insertion after pilot hole preparation, reducing the need for a separate tapping step when the surgeon determines that direct advancement is appropriate. The hex head provides controlled driver engagement and torque transfer during placement. This design is useful in TPLO and plate fixation workflows where efficient insertion, stable seating, and accurate length selection are important. Bone quality and implant protocol still guide final use.
What role does this screw serve in a veterinary orthopedic implant inventory? Cortex Bone Screw 3.5mm Length Self-Tapping Hex Head Titanium serves as a core titanium screw option for TPLO sets, cortical fixation trays, fracture repair inventories, and orthopedic implant cabinets. The 08mm to 40mm range lets clinics prepare for varied plate holes and patient sizes without interrupting surgery for missing lengths. Procurement teams stock it with compatible plates, drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, and implant organizers so surgeons can select the required screw during planned orthopedic procedures.
