Conmed 3.5mm Hex Flexible Cannulated Driver, Fixed C8617
The 3.5 mm Hex Flexible Cannulated Driver, Fixed C8617 is a surgical instrument used to drive 3.5 mm hexagonal screws in orthopedic procedures. Its design is both cannulated (hollow) and flexible, allowing it to follow slight curves or misalignments. The “fixed” tip ensures a stable connection to the screw during insertion.
This driver combines flexibility with a cannulated structure so it can navigate around obstacles or soft tissue paths while still being guided by a wire. The rigid (fixed) tip ensures solid torque transfer and avoids torsional loss during screw insertion. It is especially helpful in cases where direct straight access is not possible, yet precise alignment is essential. Surgeons appreciate it in minimally invasive or constrained surgical fields because it enhances access without compromising control.
