Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm is a stainless steel veterinary orthopedic implant screw designed for locking plate fixation, TPLO construct support, cortical bone purchase, fracture stabilization, and small-fragment orthopedic repair. The available variants are Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm Length 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 26mm, 30mm, and 32mm. The screw has a 2.7mm diameter, self-tapping threaded shaft, locking head interface, pointed tip, and hex drive geometry for controlled insertion with compatible veterinary orthopedic instrumentation. It is used during tibial plateau leveling osteotomy, locking plate application, small bone fracture repair, corrective osteotomy, metaphyseal stabilization, and orthopedic trauma fixation. Veterinary orthopedic surgeons, small animal surgical teams, referral hospitals, teaching laboratories, distributors, and procurement teams use this screw family where secure screw-plate engagement, accurate depth measurement, and controlled length selection are required for implant tray planning.
The Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm uses a threaded design that supports insertion after pilot hole preparation while forming engagement through the prepared cortical track. The locking head is designed to interface with compatible locking plate holes, creating a fixed-angle screw-plate relationship when the construct is assembled with the correct drill guide and driver. This differs from conventional cortex screws, which primarily seat against the plate and compress the plate toward bone. The 2.7mm diameter provides a compact locking fixation option for smaller veterinary orthopedic plates and fine bone corridors. The hex drive allows controlled torque transfer during screw advancement, while the pointed tip supports entry into the drilled path. During placement, the surgeon aligns the driver with the plate hole, advances the screw in the measured trajectory, monitors resistance, and confirms final head seating. This mechanism supports stable plate fixation where angular stability and implant compatibility are central to the operative plan.
Clinical use begins after radiographic planning, surgical exposure, osteotomy or fracture reduction, plate selection, pilot hole drilling, and depth measurement. In TPLO workflows, Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm is selected when a compatible locking plate requires smaller diameter screw fixation around the tibial construct. In fracture repair, the screw supports locking plate systems used for small-fragment stabilization, corrective osteotomy support, and selected trauma cases. The fixed-angle relationship between locking head and plate can help maintain construct geometry when bone quality, plate position, and screw trajectory require stable screw-plate coupling. The surgeon selects the final length after measuring the prepared track and accounting for plate thickness, near cortex, far cortex, and desired purchase. The screw is used with locking drill guides, drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, plate holders, reduction forceps, and compatible implant racks. Correct use depends on plate system, patient anatomy, bone stock, and the fixation objective.
The 10mm and 12mm variants are selected for shallow fixation points, compact bone corridors, and small plate positions where limited working length is required. The 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, and 20mm lengths support routine small animal orthopedic fixation when moderate cortical engagement is measured. The 22mm, 24mm, and 26mm variants provide additional working length for deeper tracks or broader plate positions. The 30mm and 32mm options are selected when the measured corridor requires extended purchase within this screw family. Each hole should be measured after drilling so the selected length matches the bone depth and plate position without unwanted projection beyond the target cortex. Keeping the complete 10mm to 32mm range in the tray allows the team to respond to intraoperative measurements without changing screw diameter or head style. Variant selection follows drilled depth, screw angle, plate thickness, cortical diameter, and construct role.
Stainless steel construction supports thread integrity, head geometry, shaft strength, and handling during orthopedic tray preparation. Before surgical use, the team should inspect the locking head, hex recess, self-tapping tip, threads, and shaft for visible damage, contamination, deformation, or packaging concerns. The hex recess should remain clean and clearly defined so the driver seats fully during insertion. The locking head must engage the compatible plate hole without cross-threading, incomplete seating, or driver slip. Implant handling should follow facility protocol for sterile transfer, documentation, tray organization, and single-patient orthopedic use. Procurement teams can standardize Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm variants with compatible TPLO plates, locking plates, drill guides, depth gauges, hex screwdrivers, screw racks, and implant storage systems. CE marking, ISO 13485 certification, and FDA compliance support purchasing documentation for veterinary hospitals, distributors, teaching programs, and institutional buyers maintaining repeat orthopedic case inventory.

How does Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm compare with a standard 2.7mm cortex screw?
Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm is designed to engage a compatible locking plate hole and create a fixed-angle screw-plate construct. A standard 2.7mm cortex screw seats into a conventional plate hole and relies more directly on plate-to-bone compression. The locking screw is selected when angular stability is part of the fixation plan. The self-tapping tip supports advancement after pilot drilling when the selected implant protocol allows direct insertion. A standard cortex screw remains useful for conventional compression, neutralization, or non-locking plate applications. Selection follows plate design, bone quality, fixation method, screw trajectory, and veterinary orthopedic case planning.
Which length should be selected from the 10mm to 32mm range?
Length selection follows drilling, depth measurement, plate thickness, bone corridor, screw angle, and intended cortical purchase. The 10mm and 12mm options suit shallow tracks and compact plate positions. The 14mm to 20mm lengths cover many small animal locking plate applications. The 22mm to 32mm options are selected when the measured track requires deeper engagement. The surgeon confirms each hole with a depth gauge before selecting the final screw. Accurate selection supports proper head seating and reduces unwanted projection beyond the target cortex.
How do CE, ISO 13485, and FDA compliance support procurement?
Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm supports procurement programs that require documented sourcing for veterinary orthopedic implants. CE marking supports international conformity records for regulated purchasing environments. ISO 13485 certification supports manufacturing control, inspection consistency, traceability, and quality-system documentation. FDA compliance language supports USA-facing procurement files where supplier and device records are reviewed. These credentials help veterinary hospitals, referral centers, distributors, and teaching programs standardize TPLO and locking plate implant inventories. The one-piece MOQ, OEM availability, warranty coverage, and return and replacement support assist repeat purchasing and distributor planning.
How is the self-tapping locking head used during insertion?
The surgeon prepares the pilot hole using the compatible drill guide and measures the required depth. The selected screw is loaded onto the matching hex driver with the head aligned to the locking plate hole. As insertion begins, the self-tapping tip advances through the prepared track while the shaft threads engage cortical bone. The locking head then seats into the plate interface to create the intended screw-plate relationship. The driver remains aligned to avoid cross-threading or incomplete engagement. Final seating is confirmed by tactile feedback, plate stability, and construct inspection before closure.
What role does this screw serve in a veterinary orthopedic implant inventory?
Self-Tapping Locking Screw 2.7mm serves as a compact locking screw option for TPLO plates, small-fragment locking constructs, fracture stabilization, corrective osteotomy, and trauma fixation trays. It is stored with compatible locking plates, drill guides, drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, reduction forceps, screw racks, and implant handling supplies. The 10mm to 32mm range helps the surgical team match screw length to each measured plate hole. Keeping the full range available reduces intraoperative compromise caused by missing lengths. The screw family supports standardized case preparation for veterinary orthopedic clinics, referral hospitals, and distributor inventories.
