Clinical Application
Designed to establish precise pilot holes and entry points for guidewires, K-wires, pins and small-diameter screws in confined anatomy. The small profile is suited for procedures on the hand, wrist, foot and ankle, as well as minor trauma and reconstructive cases where controlled penetration of cortical bone is required without excessive bone loss. Using a focused point reduces the risk of skiving on cortical surfaces and facilitates accurate wire placement for subsequent fixation or drilling steps.
Design & Configuration
The small, tapered point concentrates force at a minimal contact area to create a defined entry channel with reduced splintering and soft-tissue disruption. A short working tip and slim profile allow access in narrow surgical corridors and around anatomical prominences. The conical geometry promotes controlled initial penetration and helps center subsequent guidewires or drill bits, improving accuracy during fixation and reducing the need for repeat passes.
Instrument Specifications
