Twist drill 3.5mm

Clinical Application

Provides a controlled method for creating pilot holes used with 3.5 mm cortical screw systems. Commonly used in small- to medium-bone fixation during orthopedics and trauma procedures, including hand, wrist, forearm, foot and ankle applications. The nominal 3.5 mm diameter is intended to establish an accurate pilot channel to guide screw threading, optimize bone purchase and reduce the risk of stripping.

Design & Configuration

The drill features a standard twist-flute geometry that balances cutting efficiency with chip evacuation—important when working in cortical bone. A straight shank geometry permits secure engagement in standard surgical drill chucks or T-handle adapters. The cutting tip profile is optimized for initial bone entry and consistent hole geometry, helping surgeons achieve repeatable screw seating and fixation torque characteristics.
