For Sale SMITH & NEPHEW 71170007 Drill Bit Quick Coupling

Smith & Nephew Drill Bit | 2.7mm | Quick Coupling (QC) | 71170007 | New-in-Box
The Smith & Nephew 71170007 is a high-performance orthopedic drill bit engineered for the precise preparation of pilot holes in small-fragment bone fixations. Featuring a 2.7mm diameter, this bit is the standard requirement for preparing bone to receive 3.5mm cortical screws or for use in various plate-and-screw constructs where a 2.7mm core diameter is clinically indicated.
Designed with a Quick Coupling (QC) interface, this drill bit allows for instantaneous, one-handed attachment and detachment from compatible powered handpieces (such as the Smith & Nephew Dyonics or Versajet systems). Constructed from premium-grade surgical stainless steel, it is built to maintain sharp cutting edges through dense cortical bone while resisting thermal buildup.

Technical & Clinical Advantages


Precision 2.7mm Fluting: The drill flutes are precision-ground to ensure efficient chip evacuation, preventing "clogging" and reducing the risk of thermal necrosis in the surrounding bone tissue.


Quick Coupling Efficiency: The standardized QC shank eliminates the need for a chuck key, significantly reducing instrument changeover time during complex trauma procedures where multiple drill diameters may be required.


High-Torque Stability: The stainless steel alloy is specifically heat-treated to provide the rigidity necessary for straight, accurate drilling without "wandering" or bending, even when engaging hard cortical bone at an oblique angle.


Compatibility: While designed for Smith & Nephew power systems, the universal Quick Coupling geometry is compatible with the majority of industry-standard orthopedic power handpieces (AO/Synthes style).


Sterility & Readiness: As a New-in-Box item, this drill bit is in factory-pristine condition, ensuring the cutting tip is at maximum sharpness for the first use.
