A cannulated headless compression screw instrument set is a complete veterinary orthopedic surgical kit used to place cannulated screws for fracture fixation, bone fragment compression, and joint stabilisation in dogs and cats.Â
Built for trauma surgery, this instrument set delivers precision drilling, guided screw placement, and secure fixation across four screw diameters 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, and 4.0mm making it suitable for a wide range of small animal orthopedic procedures.
What This Cannulated Screw Set Is Used For
This trauma surgery instrument set is engineered for veterinary orthopedic applications where headless compression screws are required, including:
- Long bone fracture fixation in dogs and cats
- Osteotomy fixation (e.g., TPLO, TTA, and other corrective procedures)
- Joint fragment and osteochondral fixation
- Small bone and epiphyseal fracture stabilisation
- Compression fixation in trauma and reconstructive orthopedic surgery
The cannulated design allows every drill and screwdriver to pass over a guide pin (K-wire), giving the surgeon accurate, minimally invasive screw placement and reducing the risk of screw misalignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cannulated headless compression screw instrument set used for?Â
It is used in veterinary orthopedic surgery to drill, countersink, and insert cannulated headless compression screws over a guide pin, allowing precise fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and bone fragments in dogs and cats.
What screw sizes does this instrument set support?Â
This set supports four cannulated screw diameters: 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, and 4.0mm, each with its own matched drill bits, countersinks, guide pins, and screwdrivers.
Is this instrument set suitable for both dogs and cats?Â
- The range of screw diameters (2.5mm–4.0mm) allows surgeons to select the appropriate size for smaller patients like cats and toy-breed dogs, as well as larger dog breeds.
What is included in the sterilisation box?Â
The full set screw bracket, depth gauge, screw clamping pliers, limiting wrench, cleaning guide pin, quick handles, guide pins, cannulated drill bits, hollow countersink drills, drill sleeves, inner sleeves, and hex screwdrivers is organised in a perforated stainless steel sterilisation case measuring 305mm x 265mm x 90mm.
Can this instrument set be autoclaved?Â
Yes. The instruments and the perforated stainless steel sterilisation box are designed for steam sterilisation/autoclave reprocessing between surgical uses.
What guide pin size is used with each screw diameter?Â
The 2.5mm screw group uses ø0.8mm guide pins, the 3.0mm screw group uses ø1.0mm guide pins, and the 3.5mm and 4.0mm screw groups use ø1.2mm guide pins.
What is the difference between the drill sleeve and the inner sleeve?Â
 The drill sleeve protects surrounding soft tissue and guides the cannulated drill bit to the bone, while the inner sleeve fits inside the drill sleeve and tracks directly over the guide pin for added drilling accuracy.
Does the set include a way to measure screw length?Â
 Yes. A Depth Gauge with a 0mm–60mm measuring scale is included to determine the correct screw length before insertion.
