New Arrival-Orthopedic Surgical Spinal Instruments — Silk Tap 6.5 (for Scoliosis Surgery)

Short description:

Silk Tap 6.5 is a precision spinal tap instrument designed for pedicle preparation and pilot channel creation in scoliosis corrective procedures. Engineered for consistent tactile feedback, controlled cutting, and compatibility with standard 6.5 mm pedicle screw systems.

Key features

• Optimized geometry for cortical and cancellous bone penetration with minimal skiving.
• Tactile feedback profile to reduce the risk of cortical breach.
• Rigid, corrosion-resistant shank for accurate guidance.
• Compatible with standard 6.5 mm pedicle screw instrumentation and handles.
• Reusable / autoclavable (refer to sterilization instructions).
• Laser-etched depth markings for controlled insertion depth.

Typical specifications

• Intended use: pedicle channel tapping/pilot hole creation for spinal fixation in scoliosis.
• Tap nominal size: 6.5 mm (thread/profile designed to accept 6.5 mm pedicle screws).
• Total length (example): 180 mm — (specify if different lengths required).
• Working length (example): 120 mm.
• Shank type: round / hex / quick-fit (specify required shank).
• Material: medical-grade stainless steel (e.g., 316L) or cobalt-chromium alloy; optionally titanium-coated or DLC finish on request.
• Sterilization: steam autoclave (134°C) — confirm per hospital protocol.
• Reprocessing: AMG instructions required for repeated use.

• High Precision Cutting – Sharp and durable thread design ensures smooth bone tapping and accurate pedicle preparation.
• Excellent Tactile Feedback – Allows the surgeon to feel bone density changes, reducing the risk of cortical wall breach.
• Compatible Design – Fits standard 6.5 mm pedicle screw systems and universal handles used in spinal surgeries.
• Strong & Durable Material – Made from medical-grade stainless steel or cobalt-chromium alloy with superior corrosion resistance.
• Clear Depth Markings – Laser-etched scale enables precise control of tapping depth during surgery.
• Reusable & Autoclavable – Designed for multiple sterilization cycles without loss of performance.
• Ergonomic Handling – Balanced shaft and optimized handle interface for steady hand control during delicate procedures.

• Used for pedicle preparation and thread formation in spinal fixation surgeries, especially scoliosis correction procedures.
• Suitable for posterior spinal instrumentation, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae tapping, and spinal deformity reconstruction.
• Applicable in orthopedic and neurosurgical departments performing spine-related operations.
• Typically used in conjunction with pedicle screw systems (6.5 mm size) and depth gauges for controlled screw insertion.
