These surgical instruments have been previously used and show visible signs of wear consistent with their prior usage. Despite these signs, they remain in a usable condition, suitable for continued medical procedures.

The Synthes 312.15 Double‑Ended Drill Sleeve is a precision orthopedic instrument designed for use with 1.1 mm and 1.5 mm cannulated drill bits, facilitating accurate hole placement in small-bone fixation procedures. Sold as part of Synthes’s mini-fragment and small-bone systems, this open‑package stainless steel sleeve helps guide drill bits and taps while protecting soft tissue during insertion. It supports a dual-fit design: one end accepts a 1.1 mm guide wire or bit and the other accommodates a 1.5 mm drill for screw pilot hole preparation.

Engineered for stability and visual precision, the sleeve features a smooth bore with calibrated depth control markings, ensuring that the low-profile cortical screws are accurately placed. By combining two bore sizes in a single instrument, it streamlines intraoperative instrument selection and reduces setup cost and space. Its compact design makes it ideal for procedures on hand, wrist, foot, or other small bones where anatomical space is limited.

Clinically, the 312.15 sleeve is widely appreciated for its role in Synthes mini-fragment sets, assisting in accurate drilling for 1.5 mm cortex screws while maintaining guide wire tension with the 1.1 mm shaft. It is reusable and sterilizable according to Synthes instrument guidelines. With reliable accuracy and tissue protection features, it supports efficient workflow and optimal outcomes in extremity fixation surgery.
