Mid Emergency Self Tapping Purple OD - 1.8 L - 5 - JEIL Medical

What is the Mid Emergency Self Tapping Purple OD screw?

The Mid Emergency Self Tapping Purple OD is an osteosynthesis device developed by Jeil Medical for oral surgery. It is a specific bone block fixation screw, identified by the reference 241.011805. Its design integrates a self-tapping function that facilitates its insertion into dense bone structures. Purple in color for quick visual identification, this screw has a diameter of 1.8mm and a length of 5mm, dimensions adapted to the requirements of guided bone regeneration (GBR). This device is manufactured by Jeil Medical Corp, a recognized manufacturer in the field of implantology and maxillofacial surgery.

What are the clinical indications for this Jeil Medical device?

This osteosynthesis screw is mainly indicated in alveolar volume reconstruction protocols. It is used by dental surgeons and implantologists to ensure the primary stability of autologous grafts or bone substitutes during onlay grafts. Rigid fixation is a sine qua non condition for graft osseointegration, preventing micromovements harmful to revascularization. It can also serve as a graft fixation screw to maintain non-resorbable membranes or titanium meshes during vertical or horizontal GBR procedures.

What are the technical characteristics of the 241.011805 screw?

The 1.8mm titanium screw with reference 241.011805 is distinguished by its precise geometric properties: a diameter of 1.8mm and a total length of 5mm. Its self-tapping tip allows for efficient penetration without systematically requiring complete prior tapping, thus optimizing operative time. Its head is designed to provide a stable grip with screwdrivers from the Jeil Medical range, reducing the risk of disconnection during insertion. The surface finish and manufacturing quality of Jeil Medical Corp guarantee the biocompatibility necessary for implantable devices intended to remain in place during the bone healing phase.

What are the contraindications for the use of this fixation screw?

The use of the Mid Emergency screw from Jeil Medical is contraindicated in patients presenting general contraindications to oral or implant surgery, such as uncontrolled coagulation disorders or metabolic pathologies affecting bone healing. Specifically, it must not be used in cases of known hypersensitivity to the constituent metals (generally titanium alloys). Insufficient oral hygiene, active infection at the surgical site, or insufficient residual bone volume to ensure screw anchoring also constitute major clinical contraindications.

What precautions should be taken during placement and removal?

When placing this graft fixation screw, the practitioner must ensure that an appropriate tightening torque is respected to avoid any fracture of the screw neck or excessive compression of the surrounding bone. Although the device is self-tapping, pre-drilling adapted to the internal diameter of the screw may be necessary depending on the bone density encountered. As it is a non-resorbable device, a second intervention is generally required for the removal of the screw once graft consolidation is achieved (often after 4 to 6 months). It is imperative to carefully clean the screw head of any fibrous tissue before unscrewing to guarantee an optimal grip of the instrument.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are met?

The device is manufactured by Jeil Medical Corp., a company specializing in fixation systems for maxillofacial and dental surgery. As an international manufacturer, Jeil Medical applies rigorous quality control processes for the production of its osteosynthesis devices. Although the specific regulatory class and CE marking are not detailed in the source data provided, these devices are designed to meet the technical requirements of modern implant surgery. Practitioners are invited to consult the instructions for use and product labeling to verify specific certifications and sterilization instructions before use in the operating room.
