Tip 3.2 mm
Countersinking around a fixation hole becomes more demanding when the hardware moves into a larger size range. Article 11-1630-00 is the Malleolar Countersink pattern, with a 3.2 mm tip specification for cases where a dedicated countersinking instrument is required.
The compact product page identifies the instrument by its malleolar pattern and 3.2 mm tip. That specification gives procurement teams a clear reference point when organizing instruments for fixation procedures involving compatible hardware.
• Malleolar Countersink pattern for orthopedic fixation work.
• 3.2 mm tip specification.
• Dedicated option for trays containing compatible screw systems.
• Compact pattern that complements smaller and larger countersinks.
A countersink is used after drilling to prepare the area around the hole for appropriate screw-head seating. Selecting a model according to the fixation system matters because the countersink is part of a sequence in which drill diameter, screw dimensions, and seating geometry need to correspond. A dedicated instrument also helps prevent teams from relying on an incorrectly sized countersink simply because it is already on the tray.
Article 11-1630-00 can therefore serve as a focused addition to bone surgery instruments used in orthopedic and trauma fixation sets. Its clearly stated 3.2 mm tip specification makes identification simple during case preparation, inventory checks, and replacement ordering. The dedicated pattern is also useful for inventory control because the product code and tip dimension provide concrete identifiers when several countersinks are stored together.
For hospitals, distributors, and surgical centers building complete fixation trays, keeping dedicated countersink patterns available can make instrument selection more deliberate and consistent.
