Drill Guide For Round Hole Plates For Drill Bits

This round hole drill guide centers a 3.2 mm drill bit in the hole of a bone plate. It keeps the drill straight and protects soft tissue.

Centering the hole

A drill that wanders off center can push the screw head against the plate edge. Therefore the guide sits in the plate hole and holds the drill in the middle. As a result, the screw seats properly.

Two lengths

Choose 40 mm or 60 mm. Moreover, the shorter guide suits shallow approaches. Meanwhile, the 60 mm guide reaches through more soft tissue.

Who uses a round hole drill guide

Round-hole plating, common in older and small-fragment systems, is its main use. Scrub staff keep it with the drill bits.

Protecting tissue

The guide shields muscle and tendons from the spinning drill. Consequently, fewer soft-tissue injuries occur. Keep the guide pressed firmly into the plate hole.

Matching the bit

This guide takes a 3.2 mm drill bit. Therefore check that your bit matches. Besides, we stock compatible AO drill bits.

Our checks for each drill guide

Open our broad orthopedic catalog for more. To read about instrument metals, read ASTM F899. Larger departments order a second drill guide to cover reprocessing time. The customer FAQ walks through common order questions. For a matching piece, browse the neutral drill guide. We can confirm details before you buy.
