DePuy Ace 538351 Driver Chuck Orthopedic

DePuy Ace 538351 Orthopedic Driver Chuck

The DePuy Ace 538351 is a heavy-duty surgical driver chuck designed for the rigorous torque requirements of orthopedic trauma surgery. This instrument serves as the essential interface for the DePuy Ace fixation system, allowing for the secure attachment of drill bits, taps, and hex drivers to manual or power-driven handles.

Constructed from high-grade, surgical stainless steel, the 538351 features a robust internal locking mechanism that prevents axial play or rotational slippage. Its design is particularly critical during the placement of large-fragment screws or external fixation pins, where consistent force transmission is necessary for accurate hardware seating.
