Inaddition if the screw does not tap the trans cortex efficiently a disc ofbone may be punched from the bone surface as the screw exits.LOCKING SCREW TAPTSLS35 Tap for 3.5 Locking Screws £82.50TSLS27 Tap for 2.7 Locking Screws £82.50TSLS24 Tap for 2.4 Locking Screws £82.50TSLS20 Tap for 2.0 Locking Screws £82.50QRCS01F Quick Release Tap Handle £145.00TSLSET Handle and Locking Tap Set (one of each Tap) £425.00All VILock Screws are available with the international ‘Torx’ Style StarDrive. The interface between the screw head and screwdriver issignificantly stronger and the stripping of screw heads consequentlymuch rarer. The tip of the screwdriver is tapered and ‘picks up’ thescrews without the requirement for a screw holding sleeve.Many surgeons do not possess the relevant Star Drive Screwdrivers sowe are pleased to offer a modular handle plus inserts for the standard3.5mm, 2.7/2.4mm and 2.0mm Screws.The handle and inserts are available separately but are cheaper as theset. The handle is made from white autoclavable Teflon which does not‘shed’ like the traditional fibre type. The cap revolves in the palm of thehand for extra comfort.STAR DRIVE SCREWDRIVER INSERTSDT1535 Star Drive Insert for 3.5 Locking Screws £65.00SDT82427 Star Drive Insert for 2.7 (2.4 head) and 2.4 Locking Screws £65.00SDT620 Star Drive Insert for 2.0 Locking Screws £65.00QRCS01F Quick Release Handle £145.00SDTSET Handle and Star Drive Insert set (one of each ) £325.00190
