Contact SupplierThe Locking Head Bone Screw, Self‑Tapping is a specialized orthopedic screw designed for use with locking plates. Unlike conventional cortical or cancellous screws, locking head screws have a threaded head that locks into the plate hole, creating a fixed‑angle construct. The self‑tapping feature allows the screw to cut its own thread into bone, eliminating the need for pre‑tapping.
Design: Threaded head engages with locking plate holes.
Material: Stainless steel (SS316L/SS316LVM) or titanium.
Sizes: Common diameters include 2.7mm, 3.5mm, 4.5mm, and 5.0mm, with lengths ranging from 10mm to 60mm+.
Head Options: Hexagonal or star‑drive (torx) head for secure insertion.
Thread Type: Fine threads for cortical bone engagement.
Self‑Tapping Tip: Cuts its own thread into bone, reducing surgical steps.
Locking Mechanism: Provides angular stability when engaged with plate holes.
