Clinical Application
This 3.2 mm twist drill is designed to create precise pilot or clearance holes in cortical and cancellous bone. Its diameter is commonly used for small-to-medium fixation work, including preparation of holes for pins, wires and implant screws, osteotomy starter holes, and other procedures in orthopedics, trauma, dental/maxillofacial and ENT surgery. The 9 cm overall length provides reach for superficial and moderately deep sites while maintaining control during delicate bone work.
Design & Configuration
The twist-flute geometry produces efficient cutting and chip evacuation, reducing heat generation and minimizing clogging in cancellous bone. A straight, single-ended shaft gives tactile feedback and stiffness for controlled entry and depth management. The 3.2 mm diameter delivers a consistent hole size for predictable fixation fit; the 9 cm length balances reach with rigidity for manual or powered drilling techniques.
