Used Surgical Instruments - Signs of Use, Usable Condition (USED-SI):

These surgical instruments have been previously used and show visible signs of wear consistent with their prior usage. Despite these signs, they remain in a usable condition, suitable for continued medical procedures.

The Synthes 314.23 is a cannulated hexagonal driver shaft, featuring a 4.0 mm width across the flat surfaces and overall length of approximately 10 5/8 inches (≈270 mm). It includes a 2.9 mm central cannulation allowing it to slide over guide wires, enhancing precision when engaging cannulated screws—specifically designed for use with 7.3 mm cannulated screws.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel (often German tooling-grade), this shaft balances strength with surgical finesse. The cannulated design permits over-wire guidance—critical for maintaining alignment and minimizing tissue disturbance during insertion. The hexagonal profile ensures a secure fit with compatible handles or power tools, facilitating controlled torque application. Its extended length makes it ideal for deep or hard-to-access surgical sites.
