IMEX™ StickTite™ Drill Bits
These
premium drill bits feature a special point geometry designed to engage the
periosteum and prevent drill bits from “walking” or skidding at
the beginning of the drilling process. StickTite™ point geometry is especially
beneficial when hole placement is critical and with freehand drilling applications.
Compared to other drill bits, StickTite™ bits are much easier to start
and drill accurately when not drilling perpendicular to the bone.
In order to support ESF pin pre-drilling through drill sleeves and with double rod drilling techniques, IMEX™ drill bits are considerably longer than standard bone plating drill bits. Surgeons must be aware of this length and avoid side pressures resulting in drill bit flexion and bowing– especially when not using drill sleeves. StickTite™ drill bits are designed to drill with minimal forward pressure and if forced into the opposite bone wall, they will engage rapidly with potential for damage to the bit. The sharp cutting geometry will also attempt to cut or grab when hitting screws or pins – resulting in damaged drill bits. If cutting into a pin or screw is likely, it is recommended that standard ESF drill bits be used. All IMEX™ drill bits can be cut shorter if the additional length is not desired.
*Extra length StickTite™ drill bits are commonly used with
interlocking nail systems. Used with care, these drill bits
tend to drill accurately through the drill sleeve and the
targeting jig of the interlocking nail system.
