11-1612-00

Thread preparation is a small step in fixation, but the tap selected for the job has to match the intended screw system and the bone being prepared. Article 11-1612-00 is a TAPS pattern offered in multiple sizes and connection formats, giving orthopedic teams flexibility when preparing threaded pathways for fixation.
The product page lists 2.7 mm, 3.5 mm cancellous, 3.5 mm cortical, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm long-thread, 4.5 mm short-thread, and 6.5 mm options. It is also available with AO Coupling, Dental Coupling for selected sizes, and T-Handle configurations.
• 3.5 mm choices distinguish between cancellous and cortical applications.
• 4.5 mm versions are available in long-thread and short-thread formats.
• 2.7 mm through 6.5 mm options cover a broad range of fixation requirements.
• AO Coupling and T-Handle versions allow different methods of manual or powered handling.
That range matters when a surgical set needs to support more than one fixation system. Rather than treating every tap as interchangeable, the available configurations let procurement teams select the pattern that corresponds to the screws and drivers already in use.
The instrument is therefore a practical component of bone surgery instruments for orthopedic and trauma trays where accurate thread preparation is part of the fixation workflow. This is especially useful for facilities that support both cortical and cancellous fixation and need the tap specification to be visible during instrument selection. It also gives distributors a clear way to separate variants when preparing quotations or replenishment lists for different fixation systems.
