A bone tap is a single-use surgical tool used to create precise internal threads in bone, enabling secure attachment of screws or other fixation devices. Clinically, it helps stabilize fractures, implants, or orthopedic hardware by ensuring a tight fit for screws in cortical or cancellous bone.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require sterilization before use, despite being non-sterile by design. They are often supplied as part of orthopedic fixation systems and are classified based on their intended use and risk level in specific markets.
