Richards 11-5035 Orthopedic 4mm Hex Driver 9-1/2"

Richards Orthopedic 4mm Hex Driver | 9.5" Length | Model 11-5035 / 3702

The Richards 11-5035 (Model 3702) is a heavy-duty manual orthopedic driver engineered for the insertion, adjustment, and removal of large-fragment bone screws and fixation bolts. Forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel, this instrument provides the rigid tactile feedback necessary for high-torque applications where power drivers may lack the required finesse.

With its 4mm hexagonal interface, this driver is a foundational component of standard orthopedic sets, particularly those involving intramedullary nailing, plating systems, and external fixation where a secure, non-slip connection is paramount.
