• Overall Length: 6 inches

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 312.47 4.5 mm Pointed Drill Guide stands out for its pointed tip design, which ensures accurate alignment and stabilizes the drill bit right at the initial contact point on the bone. This precision is particularly valuable in orthopedic operations that demand accuracy before drilling, like placing 4.5 mm cortex screws. The sharp and focused orientation of the guide helps prevent slippage, reducing the risk of misplacement and unintended bone damage.

Crafted as a complementary tool for the small fragment set, this guide pairs effectively with the 4.5 mm/3.2 mm insert drill sleeve (312.46). Together, they provide a reliable system for maintaining drill bit alignment from entry through depth, streamlining the surgical process and minimizing instrument exchanges. The 6-inch length offers a balance of reach and stability—long enough to access deeper or challenging anatomical areas, yet still responsive in the surgeon’s hands.

As with Synthes instruments, the 312.47 is likely made from high-grade surgical stainless steel, ensuring longevity and resistance to sterilization processes. Its pointed configuration not only boosts accuracy but also expedites surgical workflow by reducing the need for additional guides or manual adjustments. For trauma and orthopedic surgeons focused on small-bone fixation—especially in confined or complex surgical sites—this drill guide augments precision, efficiency, and overall procedural confidence.
