Conmed 5.0mm Paladin Tap C5075
The Paladin Tap C5075 is a surgical tap tool designed for use with Paladin suture anchors in shoulder surgeries. It creates a thread in bone matching the anchor’s thread geometry. It is used to prepare the bone before insertion of a 5.0 mm Paladin anchor for improved fixation.
The C5075 makes a precise pilot thread in bone, helping the anchor cut its threads cleanly and seat properly. It helps reduce insertion torque required when placing a 5.0 mm Paladin suture anchor, leading to more controlled anchor placement. By preparing the bone with the tap, the risk of damaging the anchor or bone from over-torquing is reduced. Use of the correct tap ensures anchor stability and helps maintain pull-out strength in softer bone.
