Manual Fixed-Handle Hexagonal Screwdriver | Model 28265 | 2.5 mm Driver Tip Profile x 11 Inch (279 mm) Overall Instrument Length | Cortical and Cancellous Bone Screw Insertion Element

The Altiva 28265 is a professional-grade, reusable, operating room-grade orthopedic surgical instrument expertly engineered to deliver high-torque manual control during the insertion, seating, and extraction of internal bone fixation screws. Part of Altiva’s specialized spinal trauma and small fragment internal osteosynthesis portfolio, this manual driver features an elongated 11-inch (279 mm) structural shaft configuration capped with a precision-machined 2.5 mm hexagonal tip. The 2.5 mm hex configuration is the industry standard for driving small fragment cortical, cancellous, and locking bone screws (typically paired with 2.7 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.0 mm outer thread screw diameters). Forged from premium-grade, corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel and mated to an ergonomic, texturized handle, the extended 11-inch reach of the 28265 ensures the orthopedic or spine surgeon maintains an unhindered line of sight down deep surgical corridors, preventing mechanical handle obstruction while providing direct visual tracking and exceptional tactile feedback across dynamic skeletal plating applications.
