Twist Drill 3.2mm, 9cm

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.
