5.0MM Sleeve
+ Description
The Ø5.0MM Sleeve is a surgical-grade guiding insert designed to accurately direct Ø5.0MM drill bits or Schanz pins during orthopedic procedures. It is commonly used in external fixation systems, modular drill guides, or targeting arms to ensure precise alignment and safe transcutaneous insertion of implants or fixation elements. Its function is both mechanical (guidance and alignment) and protective (soft tissue shielding) during drilling or pin placement. Material: Surgical Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 304 / 316L) Optional: Titanium (for weight reduction) or Radiolucent Polymer Material Benefits: Corrosion-resistant Biocompatible Sterilizable (autoclavable) High wear resistance
+ Indications
- Drill Bit and Schanz Pin Guidance – Ensures precise axial placement into bone through fixator or guide systems.
- Soft Tissue Barrier – Protects skin and muscle from rotating tools, minimizing tissue trauma.
- External Fixator Applications – Commonly used in Ilizarov, hybrid, and limb reconstruction fixator systems.
- Modular Drill Guide Systems – Fits inside outer sleeves or targeting arms in orthopedic jigs or templates.
+ Key Features
- Inner Diameter – 5.0MM – for Ø5.0MM drills or Schanz pins.
- Outer Compatibility – Designed to fit into larger drill guide sleeves (e.g., Ø8.0MM or Ø10.0MM outer sleeves).
- Smooth Internal Bore – Allows easy tool passage with minimal friction.
- Soft Tissue Protection – Acts as a barrier during percutaneous pin or drill insertion.
- Reusable – Engineered for multiple surgical cycles under high-heat sterilization.
- Precision Machined – For accurate and vibration-free drilling.
