Taps are commonly used in orthopedic and trauma procedures where preparation of an internal bone thread is required before inserting a compatible screw. The appropriate tap is selected according to the screw design and fixation system being used.
Suitable applications include fracture fixation, orthopedic surgery, trauma procedures, bone screw preparation, implant fixation, internal threading, and other orthopedic fixation applications requiring controlled thread preparation.
Taps are specialized orthopedic surgical instruments designed for creating or preparing internal threads within a pre-drilled bone opening before the insertion of a compatible orthopedic screw. The instrument features precision-cutting threads and a durable construction to support controlled thread preparation during bone fixation procedures.
Orthopedic Taps are designed to prepare the bone thread required for compatible screw insertion. Their cutting profile allows surgeons to gradually form the internal thread while maintaining controlled movement and proper alignment during the surgical procedure.
