Hex Screw Driver L Bend Ø6.0MM Hex Tip
+ Description
The Hex Screwdriver L Bend with Ø6.0MM Hex Tip** is a manually operated orthopedic instrument designed to engage and drive 6.0mm hex socket screws or bolts. Shaped in a classic L-bend (L-wrench) configuration, it provides leverage, torque, and accessibility—particularly useful in orthopedic surgical procedures and medical device assemblies where precision and force are required.
This tool is typically found in external fixator kits, fracture management sets, and implant systems that use 6mm hex fasteners.
+ Indications
- Orthopedic Surgery & Trauma Care:
External Fixator Systems: Used to tighten or loosen 6mm hex bolts in systems like Ilizarov rings, LRS fixators, monolateral frames, or hybrid external fixators. Helps secure Schanz screws, connecting clamps, or rods in position.
Locking Plate Systems: Engages 6mm hex locking bolts on orthopedic locking plates or bone anchors. - Medical Device Assembly & Maintenance: Used by surgical teams and biomedical engineers to assemble, adjust, or maintain medical devices that utilize Ø6.0mm hex screws or bolts. Also used during sterile setups or quick modifications in the OR.
- Mechanical & Technical Equipment Use: Precise tool for tightening 6mm hex bolts in machinery, diagnostic tools, or surgical fixtures. Compact L-bend design is ideal for confined mechanical spaces where straight screwdrivers can’t reach.
- High Torque Applications: The short arm allows for strong torque application for tightening stubborn or securely locked screws. Useful during the final locking step in orthopedic implant systems.
- Emergency or Field Use: Reliable tool in emergency trauma kits for on-the-spot frame stabilization or component tightening. Easy to carry, durable, and reusable – suitable for quick deployment in mobile trauma units or field hospitals.
- Training and Surgical Workshops: Common tool in orthopedic training sets and surgical practice modules, particularly those involving external fixation and limb reconstruction.
+ Key Features
1. Precision Hex Engagement
The Ø6.0mm hex tip is CNC-machined to fit securely into 6mm internal hex screw heads.
Reduces risk of stripping or rounding the screw interface.
2. L-Bend (L-Wrench) Design
Allows for two types of mechanical advantage:
Short Arm: High torque application
Long Arm: Better reach and control
Ideal for manual manipulation in both deep surgical fields and tight mechanical spaces.
3. High Torque Handling
The thick shaft and robust build are optimized to withstand the torque needed to lock or unlock orthopedic bolts securely.
4. Corrosion-Resistant Finish
Typically finished with black oxide, satin, or chrome plating for:
- Resistance to surgical fluids and sterilization
- Improved grip
- Long-term durability in medical settings
5. Ergonomic & Reusable
Lightweight yet durable for repeated use in operating rooms.
Smooth edges and polished surfaces reduce glove tearing and allow easy handling.
