Basic 1.5 mm Maxillofacial Screwdriver – Cross Head with Flat Sleeves

The Basic 1.5 mm Maxillofacial Screwdriver is designed for use with compatible screw systems in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It features a cross-head tip intended to engage matching screw recesses and flat sleeves that form part of the instrument's design.

In maxillofacial procedures, appropriate screwdriver selection is important for managing small fixation screws used in suitable bone fixation applications. The correct driver helps the surgical team handle compatible screws while following the implant system manufacturer's instructions.

Cross-Head Tip Design

The cross-head tip is designed to fit screws with a matching cross-shaped recess. Correct compatibility between the driver tip and screw head is essential for proper engagement and to help reduce the risk of slipping or damaging the screw recess.

The stated 1.5 mm designation should be interpreted according to the supplier's product specifications. It does not, by itself, confirm the exact tip geometry or compatibility with every 1.5 mm screw system.

Flat Sleeve Construction

This screwdriver features flat sleeves as specified in the product name. The sleeves form part of the instrument's overall construction and may assist with alignment or handling, depending on the particular design.

The precise sleeve dimensions, function, and configuration are not provided in the title. Buyers should confirm these details with the supplier, especially when matching the instrument to a particular maxillofacial implant system.

Applications in Maxillofacial Surgery

The Basic 1.5 mm Maxillofacial Screwdriver may be used in appropriate oral and maxillofacial procedures involving compatible fixation screws. Such instruments can be used in surgical settings where small screws are required for the selected fixation system.

The screwdriver should only be used with screws designed for its tip and dimensions. Surgeons and trained clinical personnel should follow the implant manufacturer's instructions for screw selection, driver engagement, and application of torque.

Material and Instrument Quality

The material is not specified in the product title. Surgical screwdrivers may be manufactured from stainless steel or other materials suitable for medical instrument applications, depending on the manufacturer and model.

Before purchase, verify the material, handle construction, tip dimensions, sleeve configuration, and compatibility with the intended screw system. These details help ensure that the instrument meets the requirements of the surgical facility.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Maintenance

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, sterilization, inspection, and storage. If the screwdriver is reusable, confirm the validated reprocessing method and ensure that the tip and sleeves can be properly inspected and cleaned.

Inspect the cross-head tip for wear, deformation, or damage before use. A worn or incompatible tip may engage poorly with the screw head. Remove damaged instruments from service according to the facility's instrument-management procedures.

Choosing the Right Maxillofacial Screwdriver

When selecting a 1.5 mm maxillofacial screwdriver, check the screw-head design, tip dimensions, implant system compatibility, sleeve configuration, and overall instrument length. The cross-head design must match the intended screw recess; the size designation alone is not sufficient to establish compatibility.
