Bone tap, reprocessed

58 devices · GMDN 61802

A bone tap is a surgical instrument used to create internal threads within bone tissue, allowing for the secure placement of orthopedic screws during spinal or other skeletal fixation procedures. These devices are typically constructed from high-grade stainless steel and feature helical cutting edges designed to efficiently cut bone while maintaining structural integrity.

This category specifically includes bone taps that have been reprocessed, meaning they were previously used as single-use devices and have undergone specialized cleaning, sterilization, and inspection protocols to ensure safety for an additional single patient use. Regulatory oversight for reprocessed devices typically requires compliance with stringent processing standards and quality control measures to verify that the device meets original manufacturer specifications and safety performance criteria.
