Synthes 310.26 2.7MM Drill Bit Quick Connect Orthopedic

Synthes 2.7mm Drill Bit | Quick Coupling (QC) | 100mm | 310.26

The Synthes 310.26 is a high-performance surgical cutting tool engineered for the precise preparation of pilot holes in cortical bone. With a 2.7mm diameter, this bit is a fundamental instrument in the Synthes Small Fragment Set, specifically designed to prepare bone for 3.5mm Cortex Screws and 4.0mm Cancellous Screws.

Featuring a Quick Coupling (QC) end, this drill bit is designed for rapid, secure attachment to standard surgical power tool handpieces or manual handles. The precision-ground flutes and specialized tip geometry ensure efficient bone debris evacuation and minimal thermal transfer to the surrounding tissue.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized for 3.5mm/4.0mm Systems: The 2.7mm diameter is the standard "oversize" drill bit used to create a gliding hole for 3.5mm cortex screws in lag-screw techniques, or as a pilot hole in exceptionally dense cortical bone.

• Efficient Chip Evacuation: The dual-flute design is engineered to clear bone "swarf" rapidly during high-speed drilling. This prevents clogging, which reduces friction and the risk of thermal necrosis—maintaining bone viability for faster union.

• Quick Coupling Interface: The QC distal end allows for "one-click" attachment. This increases intraoperative efficiency, allowing the surgical technician to swap between drilling and driving instruments without manual chuck adjustments.

• Surgical Precision: Manufactured with strict tolerances, the 310.26 ensures a concentric, vibration-free drilling experience. This is critical when drilling near delicate neurovascular structures or joint surfaces.

• High-Strength Stainless Steel: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, this bit maintains its cutting edge through multiple uses, though periodic replacement is recommended to ensure peak performance in dense bone.

Applications

• Small Fragment Trauma: Preparing holes for 3.5mm LCP, DCP, or LC-DCP plating systems in the humerus, radius, ulna, and fibula.

• Lag Screw Technique: Creating a 2.7mm gliding hole in the near cortex to achieve interfragmentary compression with 3.5mm screws.

• Ankle & Foot Surgery: Preparation for 4.0mm non-cannulated cancellous screws.

• General Orthopedics: Any procedure requiring a 2.7mm diameter path through cortical or cancellous bone.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: The instrument is securely housed within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both inner and outer seals are intact, ensuring the product's sharpness and suitability for surgical use.

• Sterilization Note: This device is typically provided as a NON-STERILE instrument. It MUST be properly cleaned and sterilized via validated steam autoclave protocols in accordance with facility guidelines and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical application.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in orthopedic logistics, Primis Medical ensures all Synthes instruments are handled and stored to maintain their mechanical and geometric precision.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in a protective rigid tube to ensure the 100mm shaft remains perfectly straight and the cutting tip remains pristine.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
