Description

The Phillips Head is designed for handling 6 mm Phillips head screws during orthopedic procedures. It measures 25 cm (10″) in length and has a long, straight metal shaft with a broad black handle. The working end is shaped to fit into the cross-shaped recess of the screw head.

The tip has four angled surfaces that form the Phillips profile. This gives the head a defined point of contact with the screw and helps keep the driver seated while the screw is being turned. The narrow shaft also allows the working end to reach the screw without placing the larger handle close to the operative area.

The instrument is intended specifically for 6 mm Phillips head screws. Using the correct tip size helps the driver sit properly in the screw recess. The working end should be fully engaged before rotational force is applied, particularly when the screw needs to be tightened or released.

At 25 cm (10″), the shaft provides useful reach for screws positioned deeper in the surgical field. The shaft remains straight from the tip to the handle, giving a direct connection between the working end and the hand. The broad handle has a slightly tapered shape and rounded end, providing a firm surface to hold while turning the instrument.

The black handle is noticeably wider than the shaft and gives the fingers plenty of room to maintain their grip. Its simple shape also makes the instrument easy to hold in different hand positions. The pointed Phillips tip remains relatively small compared with the rest of the instrument, keeping the working area clear.

Made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the metal components are intended for repeated professional use and sterilization. Each instrument is carefully checked for quality, including the Phillips tip, shaft, handle connection, and overall finish. The tip should be inspected before use for wear, bending, or damage that could affect its fit with the screw.

The Phillips Head provides a 25 cm instrument for controlled handling of 6 mm Phillips head screws during orthopedic procedures.
