4.9 mm interlocking bolt self tapping
4.9 mm Interlocking Bolt – Self Tapping is a heavy-duty locking screw used with intramedullary nails to provide strong and stable fixation. Its self-tapping design allows quick insertion without pre-tapping, ensuring excellent axial and rotational stability in load-bearing applications.
The 4.9 mm Interlocking Bolt – Self Tapping is a robust orthopedic fixation component designed for use with intramedullary nailing systems, particularly in femoral and tibial applications requiring high load-bearing capacity. It is used to secure the nail within the bone, preventing axial movement and rotational instability during fracture healing.
Featuring a self-tapping thread design, this bolt enables direct insertion into cortical bone without the need for pre-tapping, reducing surgical steps and operative time while ensuring strong thread engagement. The 4.9 mm diameter provides superior mechanical strength, making it ideal for larger nail systems and demanding clinical situations.
Manufactured from premium-grade Stainless Steel (SS) or Titanium (Ti), the bolt offers excellent durability, fatigue resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Its precision-machined head ensures compatibility with standard surgical instruments, allowing secure tightening and straightforward removal when required.
