Cortex Bone Screw 2.0mm Self-Tapping is a veterinary orthopedic implant screw designed for TPLO plate fixation, small-fragment cortical bone purchase, fracture stabilization, and corrective osteotomy support in canine orthopedic surgery. The available length variants are Cortex Bone Screw 2.0mm Length 6mm Self-Tapping Hex Head, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 26mm, 28mm, and 30mm, giving the surgeon a practical range for compact plate constructs and smaller patient anatomy. The screw has a 2.0mm cortical profile, self-tapping thread geometry, and a hex head drive interface for controlled insertion with compatible orthopedic drivers. It is used during TPLO procedures, veterinary plate fixation, small-bone repair, compression plate placement, neutralization plating, and orthopedic implant inventory planning. Veterinary orthopedic surgeons, small animal surgical teams, referral hospitals, teaching laboratories, and procurement teams use this screw family in TPLO and orthopedic screw sets where accurate diameter and length selection are required.
The 2.0mm self-tapping cortex screw works through a 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, allowing controlled torque transfer, stable seating, and measured advancement through a veterinary orthopedic plate. The smaller 2.0mm diameter is useful where implant size must match compact bone anatomy, small plate systems, or limited fixation corridors. 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 screw advancement. The head profile seats into the plate hole as the threaded shaft engages cortical bone, helping maintain plate position during fixation. Proper use follows orthopedic planning, compatible drill bit selection, depth measurement, screw length choice, driver fit, and facility implant handling protocol. This design supports precise small-fragment fixation without changing the basic screw placement workflow used in veterinary orthopedic plating.
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 compatible plate holes after osteotomy positioning, plate contour confirmation, and pilot hole preparation. The self-tapping thread helps the screw advance into cortical bone, while the hex head allows controlled driver engagement during final seating. In small-bone repair and fracture stabilization, the 2.0mm profile is suited to plate constructs where a larger screw would be excessive for the patient size or bone segment. During compression or neutralization plating, the selected length 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 rather than product size label alone.
The 6mm to 30mm length range allows the surgical team to match screw length to different plate positions, cortical depths, and small animal orthopedic requirements. Shorter lengths such as 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm are selected for shallow fixation points, compact plates, and smaller bone segments where controlled purchase is required. Mid-range lengths such as 14mm through 22mm support common small-fragment cortical fixation points when bicortical engagement is planned and confirmed by measurement. Longer lengths from 24mm through 30mm are selected for deeper trajectories, larger small-animal anatomy, or plate positions that require extended purchase. Each hole should be measured with a depth gauge after drilling so the selected screw matches the actual bone and plate construct. Keeping the complete range in inventory helps avoid intraoperative compromise caused by missing lengths. Variant selection follows drilled depth, plate thickness, screw trajectory, cortical thickness, and the fixation role of each plate 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. Storage should protect the 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 TPLO and 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 2.0mm self-tapping cortex screw systems used in veterinary orthopedic procedures.

How is the Cortex Bone Screw 2.0mm Self-Tapping used in TPLO surgery? The screw is used with compatible veterinary orthopedic plates to secure selected fixation points after drilling and depth measurement. In TPLO workflows, the surgeon selects the 2.0mm diameter when the plate system, bone size, and fixation plan require a smaller cortex screw. The self-tapping thread advances into the prepared pilot hole, while the hex head allows controlled driver engagement. Final placement depends on plate compatibility, bone quality, planned trajectory, and intraoperative measurement.
Which length should be selected from the 6mm to 30mm range? Length selection is based on drilled depth, plate thickness, cortical thickness, screw trajectory, and desired purchase. Shorter lengths are used for shallow plate holes and compact bone segments, while longer lengths are used when deeper bicortical engagement is required. The surgeon should confirm each length with a depth gauge after drilling. Stocking the full 6mm to 30mm range helps the team match each plate hole without substituting an unsuitable screw length.
What is the benefit of the self-tapping design? The self-tapping design lets the screw 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 make fixation more efficient in small-fragment veterinary plating. The benefit still depends on bone quality, correct drill size, driver fit, and controlled insertion technique. The surgeon determines whether self-tapping placement is appropriate for each fixation point.
How does a 2.0mm cortex screw differ from larger 2.7mm or 3.5mm screws? A 2.0mm cortex screw is selected for smaller plate systems, compact bone anatomy, and fixation points where a larger screw would remove excessive bone or overmatch the plate. Larger 2.7mm and 3.5mm screws provide broader fixation options for bigger constructs and stronger cortical purchase when patient size and plate design require them. Diameter choice follows plate compatibility, bone size, surgical plan, and the load requirements of the orthopedic repair.
What role does this screw serve in a veterinary orthopedic implant inventory? Cortex Bone Screw 2.0mm Self-Tapping serves as a small-fragment fixation option in TPLO, fracture repair, and orthopedic plate inventories. It is stored with compatible plates, drill bits, depth gauges, hex drivers, screw racks, and implant handling supplies. The 6mm to 30mm range helps clinics prepare for varied patient sizes and plate hole depths. Procurement teams use this screw family to support predictable case preparation for small animal orthopedic surgery.
