Clinical Application
Provides a controlled means to initiate and enlarge entry holes in cortical and cancellous bone during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common uses include creating pilot holes for wires or pins, opening cortical bone for reaming or fixation, and preparing small bone canals in hand, wrist, foot, and select extremity procedures where a compact manual awl/reamer is preferred.
Design & Configuration
The square-point tip concentrates applied manual force to produce a defined cutting/penetrating geometry that resists lateral skiving and helps maintain hole orientation during entry. The combined awl/reamer configuration allows the instrument to both pierce cortical bone and modestly enlarge or shape the channel with controlled rotations or back-and-forth motions. The 14 cm length affords reach into deeper soft-tissue corridors while retaining tactile feedback for precise depth control.
