Standard ESF Drill Bits
ESF drill bits are made of hardened stainless steel in diameters appropriate for pre-drilling of standard KE size DuraFace™, INTERFACE™ and CENTERFACE™ ESF pins, large cancellous ESF pins, and 6.3mm shaft large animal transfixation pins.
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. All IMEX™ drill bits can be cut shorter if the additional length is not desired.
