Surgical Tap Sleeve for Guided Instrument Use

The 11-1663-00 Tap Sleeve is intended for teams that need a drill and tap guiding component matched to different fixation sizes. Unlike a single-size sleeve, this model is listed with several configurations, including a 2.0 mm tap sleeve, 2.7 mm drill sleeve, 2.5 mm tap sleeve, and 3.5 mm drill sleeve.
That range makes the instrument useful when a surgical tray has to accommodate more than one screw preparation sequence. Having clearly defined sleeve options available at the point of use can simplify selection and reduce the need to search through unrelated instruments during fixation.
In practical terms, the sleeve provides a controlled interface for the corresponding drill or tap. The surgeon can therefore work with a component selected according to the intended hardware rather than treating every preparation step as though it requires the same guide.
A fixation tray built around bone surgery instruments benefits from having these size-specific accessories organized alongside the relevant drills, taps, and plates.
Available configurations listed by Next Edge Surgical includes:
This makes the 11-1663-00 particularly useful for facilities managing varied fixation systems and instrument requirements. Its multiple configurations also make it relevant to hospital procurement teams and distributors assembling procedure-specific orthopedic sets.
Keep the appropriate sleeve available when the fixation sequence demands it.
