4.8MM Drill Bit



The Ø4.8MM Drill Bit is a high-precision surgical tool used in orthopedic procedures to create pilot holes in bone for the insertion of fixation devices such as Schanz screws, locking bolts, or pins. Designed for both cortical and cancellous bone, it delivers clean, controlled cuts with minimal thermal damage or trauma to surrounding tissue.
1. Pre-drilling for Schanz Screws
Used to create pilot holes for Ø5.0MM Schanz screws in external fixation systems (e.g., monolateral or Ilizarov frames).
Ensures accurate alignment and depth control, improving screw stability and bone purchase.
2. Orthopedic Trauma Surgery
Employed in procedures to stabilize long bone fractures (femur, tibia, humerus) using external or internal fixators.
Creates entry paths for implants in closed or open reduction techniques.
3. External Fixator Frame Assembly
Integral during the initial drilling phase in applying external fixators, where the bit allows clean, controlled access through cortical bone before screw insertion.
4. Corrective Limb Procedures
Used in surgeries involving limb lengthening, deformity correction, or bone transport, where precise pin and screw placement is essential.
5. Surgical Workshops and Training
Commonly included in orthopedic training kits for surgical residents to practice drill handling, pin alignment, and frame assembly.
6. Bone Anchor & Bolt Placement
Useful in preparing holes for locking bolts or bone anchors in locking plate systems.
7. Versatile Bone Access
Suitable for drilling through both cortical and cancellous bone during procedures involving fracture reconstruction, deformity corrections, or external stabilization.
1. Precise Cutting Performance
Ø4.8mm diameter provides optimal sizing for pre-drilling 5.0mm Schanz screws.
Sharp, self-centering tip ensures accurate entry and minimal slippage on bone surfaces.
2. Dual-Flute Design
Two cutting flutes improve chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup.
Ensures smoother drilling with less bone trauma and faster procedures.
3. Surgical Compatibility
Fits standard orthopedic drill chucks and quick coupling systems.
Available in multiple lengths to suit varied surgical sites and depths.
4. Durable & Reusable
Constructed for repeated autoclaving and long-term use.
Maintains cutting efficiency across multiple procedures.
5. Safe for Bone
Geometry is optimized to reduce microfractures, thermal necrosis, and stress on the bone structure.
Commonly used in external fixation, trauma care, and fracture repair.
Material (Optional Info if needed)
Surgical-grade stainless steel (AISI 420 or 316L)
