English term or phrase: tap/to tap
Hi All.

I am having trouble understanding what tap and to tap mean in the following contexts (surgical instruments, spinal fixation):

- Cut thread with tap (optional)

- Screws are equipped with a fully threaded, tapered tip reducing the need to tap.

- The use of a tap is recommended in case of a hard bone.


Any orthopedic/trauma surgeons out there?

Thank you!!
