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 DePuy ACE 8081-10-157 T-Handle Driver is a compact, precision surgical instrument designed to provide controlled manual torque during implantation or fixation tasks in orthopedic procedures. Its T-handle design allows the surgeon to apply rotational force comfortably while maintaining fine tactile feedback, which is essential when seating screws or aligning implants. The relatively short length (approximately 3-3/4") makes it well-suited for use in confined surgical spaces without excessive protrusion or interference.

Constructed with a hex driver tip, this tool interfaces with screws or implants requiring a corresponding hexagonal recess. The sturdy design ensures durability and resistance to bending or stripping under high torque. In surgical settings, the instrument’s robust construction and ergonomics help maintain precision, reducing the risk of inadvertent damage to implant threads or surrounding bone.

Because surgical instrument integrity is critical, the 8081-10-157 is intended for repeated sterilization cycles. While I did not locate explicit details on sterilization compatibility or material composition, typical surgical drivers of this class are made from medical-grade stainless steel or equivalent alloys that tolerate autoclave or low-temperature sterilization. Its compact footprint and familiar T-handle design make it a useful addition to orthopedic instrument sets, especially when precision manual torque is required in tight anatomical regions.
