The Synthes 312.08 Wire Sleeve is a precision surgical instrument designed to facilitate the accurate placement of 6.5 mm Headless Compression Screws in orthopedic procedures. Its dual-diameter design accommodates both the screw and the guide wire, ensuring proper alignment and minimizing the risk of soft tissue damage during insertion. The sleeve's cannulated structure allows it to fit over the guide wire, providing a stable channel for the screw to follow, which is crucial for achieving optimal fixation in complex anatomical regions.

Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the 312.08 wire sleeve offers durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring reliability during surgical procedures. The approximately 4-1/2-inch length provides sufficient reach for accessing deeper anatomical sites while maintaining control over the screw insertion process. The open package condition indicates that the instrument is pre-owned but has been maintained in excellent condition, making it a cost-effective option for medical facilities.

In clinical practice, the 312.08 wire sleeve is typically used in conjunction with other Synthes instruments, such as the 357.415 hexagonal shaft and appropriate driver tips, to perform procedures like fracture fixation or joint stabilization. Its design ensures compatibility with 6.5 mm Headless Compression Screws, which are commonly used in small fragment fixation. Proper maintenance and sterilization of the sleeve are crucial to ensure its longevity and reliability in surgical settings.
