Cortex Screw 14 TPI

The Cortex Screw 14 TPI from Glass Agencies is an orthopedic fixation implant widely used for securing plates to cortical bone in fracture fixation and reconstructive bone procedures. This screw is specifically structured with a 14 threads per inch profile, which is suitable for dense cortical bone commonly found in the diaphyseal regions of long bones such as the femur, tibia, humerus, radius, and ulna. The consistent thread spacing allows controlled advancement through hard bone, supporting firm engagement and stable fixation during and after surgical placement. The screw head is shaped to seat accurately within standard plate holes, enabling secure plate-to-bone fixation and even distribution of mechanical loads along the implant construct. The shaft diameter and core geometry are proportioned to balance strength with ease of insertion, reducing the risk of bone damage while maintaining holding capacity. The tip configuration supports smooth entry into predrilled holes, allowing predictable cutting action and controlled progression during insertion. Cortex screws with 14 TPI are commonly used in conventional plating systems as well as in combination with other fixation components depending on fracture pattern and surgical approach. The screw is manufactured from medical grade stainless steel or titanium alloy, ensuring high mechanical strength, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with the biological environment of the human body. These materials allow the implant to withstand cyclic loading and stresses encountered during patient movement throughout the healing period. The surface finish is carefully controlled to support reduced insertion torque and consistent interaction with surgical instruments. The screw head drive is compatible with standard orthopedic screwdrivers, supporting efficient torque transmission and minimizing the risk of slippage during placement. Cortex screws are available in multiple lengths and diameters, allowing surgeons to select appropriate sizes based on anatomical location, plate system, and bone thickness. This flexibility supports accurate fixation across a wide range of orthopedic applications. Glass Agencies maintains strict quality inspection procedures during production, including checks for dimensional accuracy, thread uniformity, surface quality, and structural integrity..
