Zimmer 2255-33-32 Orthopedic 3.2mm Distal Pilot Tip Drill Bit

The Zimmer 2255-33-32 is a high-performance orthopedic drill bit engineered for maximum accuracy during bone preparation and screw-hole creation. Featuring a specialized Distal Pilot Tip, this bit allows for precise "point-of-contact" drilling, preventing the bit from slipping across the curved surface of the bone. This feature is particularly critical when performing percutaneous procedures or when drilling through a plate hole where alignment is paramount.

With a 3.2mm diameter and a 6-1/4 inch (159mm) overall length, this bit is a staple in trauma and reconstructive sets. Manufactured from high-strength surgical stainless steel, it is designed to maintain a sharp cutting edge and straight-tracking performance even when drilling through dense cortical bone.
