Twist Drill 3.2mm, 7cm

Clinical Application

This 3.2 mm twist drill is intended for orthopaedic and related surgical procedures that require precise, small-diameter bone holes. Common uses include creation of pilot holes for cortical and cancellous screw placement during fracture fixation, plate-and-screw constructs, and other small-bone fixation tasks in hand, wrist, foot, and selected trauma cases. The diameter is suitable for pre-drilling prior to inserting 3.5 mm or similarly sized screws where a controlled pilot hole is required.

Design & Configuration

The drill features a straight, spiral-fluted cutting geometry that provides efficient cutting action and evacuation of bone debris (swarf) from the hole. The 3.2 mm cutting diameter yields a precise pilot channel while minimizing bone removal. At 7 cm length, the instrument offers sufficient reach for most superficial and moderately deep operative corridors without excess shaft length that can impede control. The combination of flute geometry and length supports controlled, concentric holes with reduced tendency for skiving on cortical surfaces.

Instrument Specifications

• Type: Twist drill (spiral flute)
• Cutting diameter: 3.2 mm
• Overall length: 7 cm
• Intended use: Pilot hole creation for screw fixation in small- to medium-sized bones
• Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel
• Reusable: Designed for repeated sterilization and reuse

Material & Construction

Manufactured from precision-ground, surgical-grade stainless steel to provide consistent cutting performance and corrosion resistance. The spiral flutes are ground to facilitate chip evacuation and reduce heat generation during drilling. The instrument is designed for repeated sterilization cycles and reuse when processed according to facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
