14. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-123-00 | Quick Coupling
Bone Tap
Preparing a threaded pathway before screw insertion can be an important step in fracture
fixation. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-123-00 Quick Coupling Bone Tap is designed to cut internal
threads into a prepared bone opening, giving the surgeon a controlled way to prepare the site
for compatible fixation hardware.
The cutting flutes remove bone as the tap advances, while the quick coupling connection allows
it to be fitted to a compatible driving handle. This configuration makes the instrument practical
for orthopedic sets where different preparation tools are used during the same fixation
procedure.
Its working advantages include:
● Defined cutting edges for forming internal bone threads.
● Fluted geometry that provides space for removed material.
● Quick coupling for convenient attachment to an appropriate driver.
● Stainless steel construction suitable for reusable surgical instrumentation.
A bone tap has a specific role within the fixation sequence. It is not intended to replace a drill or
screw driver. Instead, it provides the threaded preparation required when the selected fixation
technique calls for it.
SKU 11-123-00 can therefore be grouped with other bone surgery instruments, including drill-related and plating
instruments, to create a more complete fixation setup.
Maintaining the cutting edges and thread profile is particularly important because damage or
wear can affect the quality of the prepared thread. The tap should be cleaned and sterilized
according to the instrument-processing protocol established by the healthcare facility.
For teams performing screw-based orthopedic fixation, SKU 11-123-00 provides a dedicated
solution for controlled thread preparation.
Add this quick coupling bone tap to your fixation tray.
