Bone tap, reusable

A bone tap is a reusable surgical instrument used to create precise internal threads in bone, enabling the secure placement of bone screws. Clinically, these devices are essential in orthopedic procedures to stabilize fractures, fix implants, or attach external fixation devices, ensuring strong and durable bone integration.

These devices are typically classified as surgical tools and regulated under medical device standards, often requiring compliance with manufacturing, sterility, and performance guidelines. They are commonly supplied as part of orthopedic instrument sets and must meet reusable device standards, including rigorous cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance protocols to ensure patient safety and functionality.
