Smith & Nephew 71110027 4.5mm Twist Drill Bit 1/EA

Smith & Nephew 71110027 4.5mm Orthopedic Twist Drill Bit (5" Length)

The Smith & Nephew 71110027 is a professional-grade surgical cutting tool designed for the exacting requirements of orthopedic trauma and reconstructive surgery. The 4.5mm diameter is the clinical standard for creating pilot holes for 4.5mm and 6.5mm screws in large fragment plating systems. Featuring a double-spiral fluted design, this bit facilitates efficient "bone-milking," clearing debris quickly to prevent friction-induced osteonecrosis during high-speed drilling.

Crafted from premium surgical stainless steel, the 71110027 is engineered for high-cycle durability and consistent sharpness. Its 5-inch (127mm) overall length ensures adequate clearance when working through soft tissue protectors or drill guides, providing the surgeon with maximum visibility and control.
