Clinical Application
Designed for precision bone drilling where a small-diameter pilot hole is required, the 1.5 mm twist drill is used to establish accurate trajectories for screws, pins or wire guides in procedures involving small bones and delicate anatomy. Typical applications include hand and wrist fixation, maxillofacial and oral surgery, ENT procedures, pediatric fixation and other cases where controlled, low-profile holes reduce the risk of cortical splitting and permit accurate implant placement.
Design & Configuration
The twist geometry features helical flutes that evacuate bone debris while providing efficient cutting and controlled feed. The 1.5 mm diameter delivers a balance between rigidity and minimal invasiveness—helpful when working in confined or delicate surgical fields. The flute design promotes straight, concentric holes with reduced heat generation when used with appropriate irrigation and recommended drill speeds. A consistent shank profile facilitates secure seating in standard handpieces or manual drivers compatible with small-diameter bits.
Instrument Specifications
- Type: Twist (helical) drill bit
- Nominal diameter: 1.5 mm
- Flute pattern: Helical flutes for chip removal
- Primary use: Precision pilot drilling in small-bone fixation and guided drilling
- Construction: Reusable surgical instrument
Material & Construction
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant, medical-grade stainless steel and heat-treated to provide the cutting edge resilience required for repeated use after reprocessing. The flutes and cutting lips are precision-ground to maintain concentricity and reduce burr formation. The instrument is designed for standard sterilization cycles and routine reprocessing in sterile processing departments.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
