Conmed Guardsman Interference Screws 5.0mm x 15mm, 2.5mm Hex 255015
The Guardsman Interference Screw 5.0 mm × 15 mm (2.5 mm Hex, 255015) is an orthopedic implant used to secure soft tissue grafts inside bone tunnels. It has a hexagonal drive recess of 2.5 mm for insertion tools. The screw’s interference design presses the graft against the tunnel wall to provide fixation.
This Guardsman screw is specifically designed to anchor ligament or tendon grafts in tunnels during ACL, PCL, or knee reconstructive surgeries. The interference fixation method ensures strong initial mechanical grip between graft and bone by compressive force. The 2.5 mm hex drive allows precise insertion with minimal slippage using compatible drivers. This screw is intended to support stable graft fixation during early healing, reducing micro-motion and enhancing biological incorporation.
