Clinical Application
Designed to facilitate single-handed placement and retrieval of slotted (flat-head) surgical screws, this self-locking driver is used where controlled screw seating is required—examples include plate fixation, small-fragment orthopedics, craniofacial reconstruction, and other procedures requiring precision screw handling in confined or deep operative fields. The self-retaining feature permits the surgeon or assistant to position a screw on the driver and advance it without a separate holding instrument, improving efficiency and control during insertion and removal.
Design & Configuration
The instrument combines a straight shank with a precision slotted tip and an integrated self-locking mechanism that captures and retains the screw head during handling. The 24 cm overall length provides extended reach for deeper exposures while keeping the hand clear of the operative zone. The slotted tip geometry ensures proper seating in flat-head screw recesses; the self-retaining function reduces the need for a second instrument to stabilize the screw and enables accurate, single-operator screw placement under direct visualization.
