Screw Removal Instrument Set
Free!
A screw removal instrument set is a complete orthopedic toolkit designed for safe, controlled extraction of damaged, jammed, cold-welded, or stripped bone screws during trauma and reconstructive surgery. It typically includes modular handles, screwdrivers, extraction forceps, conical extractors, reverse-threaded taps, drill bits, and shaft holding devices organized in a sterilizable tray. By providing precise engagement, strong torque, and multiple backup options, it helps surgeons retrieve problematic screws without compromising bone or implant stability.
Description
A Screw Removal Instrument Set is a specialized orthopedic toolkit designed to solve one of the most demanding challenges in trauma and reconstructive surgery: safe extraction of damaged, jammed, or stripped bone screws. When conventional drivers fail, this set provides the instruments needed to engage, loosen, and remove problematic screws while preserving surrounding bone, plates, and fixation stability.
A well-designed set typically includes:
-
Modular handles and screwdriver shafts for multiple screw head designs
-
Conical and reverse-threaded extractors for stripped or rounded recesses
-
Hollow reamers and trephines to clear bone or debris around screw heads
-
Extraction forceps and holding sleeves for secure grip on exposed screws
-
Drill bits, guide wires, and taps for controlled disengagement
-
Organized, autoclavable tray system for quick identification and sterile handling
Key benefits:
-
Enables predictable removal of fractured, cold-welded, or over-tightened screws
-
Reduces surgical time by offering stepwise solutions in one complete kit
-
Helps protect bone stock and implants, minimizing the need for aggressive cutting
-
Improves surgeon confidence in complex revisions and re-fixation procedures
-
Supports better patient outcomes through precise, minimally invasive extraction techniques
Applications span orthopedic trauma, spine surgery, joint reconstruction, sports injury fixation, and revision procedures in both human and veterinary practice. Compared with using improvised tools or single-purpose drivers, a dedicated screw removal set offers greater versatility, higher success rates, and lower risk of intraoperative complications.
High-quality sets are manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, designed for repeated sterilization, and configured to align with recognized surgical instrument and medical device standards. For hospitals, surgical centers, and distributors, investing in a comprehensive screw removal instrument set is essential for modern fracture management and revision surgery capability.
