Products classified under HTS 9021.10.00.50
Titanium Femoral Locking Plate
A contoured titanium plate designed for stabilizing femoral fractures through internal fixation, featuring multiple screw holes for precise alignment. It falls under HTS 9021.10.00.50 as an orthopedic fracture appliance specifically classified as a bone plate for internal skeletal fixation. Used in surgical procedures to promote bone healing by immobilizing fracture segments.
Stainless Steel Intramedullary Hip Nail
A stainless steel nail inserted into the marrow canal of the femur for fixing hip fractures, often with a lag screw for neck stabilization. Classified under HTS 9021.10.00.50 as an internal fixation device specifically for bone nailing in orthopedic surgery. Provides rotational stability and load-sharing during bone union.
Cannulated Titanium Cancellous Bone Screws
Hollow titanium screws designed for fixation in spongy bone, allowing bone graft material passage through the cannula. HTS 9021.10.00.50 covers these as bone screws for internal orthopedic fixation. Self-tapping threads ensure secure anchorage in cancellous bone structures.
CoCrMo Alloy Spinal Pedicle Screws
Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum polyaxial screws for anchoring spinal rods in fusion procedures, offering high fatigue strength. Falls under HTS 9021.10.00.50 as bone screws for internal fixation of vertebral fractures and deformities. Enables multi-level spinal stabilization.
Resorbable PLLA Fracture Fixation Pins
Biodegradable polylactic acid pins that dissolve over 12-24 months post-implantation, used for small bone fractures. HTS 9021.10.00.50 includes these bioabsorbable internal fixation devices as orthopedic appliances. Eliminates need for secondary removal surgery.
Distal Radius Locking Compression Plate
Anatomic stainless steel plate for volar fixation of distal radius fractures with variable angle locking technology. Classified in HTS 9021.10.00.50 as a bone plate orthopedic fracture appliance. Features low-profile design to minimize tendon irritation.
Humeral Nail with Proximal Locking Screws
Titanium antegrade nail system for proximal, shaft, and distal humerus fractures with multiplanar locking. HTS 9021.10.00.50 as intramedullary nail internal fixation device. Allows early shoulder mobilization post-fixation.
Calcaneal Fracture Screw System
Large cannulated screws for percutaneous fixation of calcaneus fractures with washer for compression. Bone screws under HTS 9021.10.00.50 for internal orthopedic fixation. Headless design prevents prominent hardware.
Clavicle Hook Plate
