Clinical Application
Precision manual driver for engaging 4.5 mm hex-headed surgical screws commonly used in orthopedic fixation (plates, bone screws, small-fragment constructs). Provides controlled insertion, final seating and removal of hex screws during fracture fixation, revisional procedures and implant adjustments. Intended for use by surgeons and scrub personnel as part of the standard fixation instrument set.
Design & Configuration
The hexagonal tip provides six-point engagement with hex-headed screw recesses to reduce cam-out and optimize torque transfer during manual use. The fiber handle offers an ergonomic, non-slip grip that improves tactile feedback and control when applying torque by hand. The compact driver geometry permits direct line access to screw heads in confined surgical fields and is suitable for both initial seating and controlled final tightening.
