Acufex 013313 Orthopedic Drill Handle w/ 014633 Suretac II Drill Bit 9-3/8"

Acufex Manual Drill Handle & Suretac II™ Bit | 9-3/8" Assembly | 013313 & 014633

The Acufex 013313 is a precision manual drill handle designed specifically for high-tactile bone preparation in sports medicine and arthroscopic procedures. Paired with the 014633 Suretac II™ Drill Bit, this assembly is the clinical standard for creating the specialized pilot holes required for the insertion of Suretac™ bioabsorbable tac fasteners.

Measuring 9-3/8 inches (23.8 cm) in overall length, this manual driver allows the surgeon to feel the exact bone density and depth during penetration—providing a level of control that exceeds powered alternatives when working near delicate articular cartilage or during Bankart and SLAP repairs.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior Tactile Feedback: Manual drilling is essential when working in the "soft" bone of the glenoid or humeral head. The 013313 handle allows the surgeon to sense the "pop" through the cortex, preventing over-drilling and protecting the surrounding neurovascular structures.

• Suretac II™ Precision Geometry: The 014633 bit is specifically engineered with a shoulder/stop that corresponds to the exact length of Suretac™ bioabsorbable implants. This ensures that the pilot hole is neither too shallow (causing the tac to prominent) nor too deep (compromising fixation strength).

• Extended Reach for Arthroscopy: The 9-3/8 inch profile is optimized for use through standard arthroscopic portals and cannula systems, providing ample clearance for the surgeon's hands while maintaining a slim distal profile.

• Non-Slip Ergonomic Grip: The handle is designed to provide maximum torque with minimal effort, featuring a textured surface that remains secure even when used with double-gloving in high-fluid environments.

• Acufex Industrial Durability: Known for their robust construction in the "Early Sports Medicine" era, these tools are built from high-tensile stainless steel that resists bending and maintains its cutting edge through years of clinical use.

Applications

• Shoulder Arthroscopy: Preparation of the glenoid rim for Bankart repair or SLAP lesion stabilization using Suretac™ implants.

• Knee Surgery: Soft tissue-to-bone fixation in ACL/PCL reconstructions.

• Small Joint Fixation: Any orthopedic application requiring the controlled, manual placement of bioabsorbable tacs or anchors.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This assembly shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs or cosmetic wear consistent with standard tray storage and repeated sterilization), but it remains fully functional. The drill bit flutes are intact, the handle-to-bit interface is secure, and the axial shaft is perfectly straight.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all specialized Acufex tools are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective, padded packaging to ensure the precision-ground bit and manual handle remain in factory-standard alignment during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
