Conmed Badger Drill Bits 5.0mm dia. C8550
The Badger Drill Bit 5.0 mm (CAT # C8550) is a sterile, single-use cannulated orthopedic drill bit designed for creating a 5.0 mm diameter bone tunnel in ligament reconstruction procedures. It features a working length of approximately 229.0 mm. The instrument is engineered for precision and joint-preserving drilling in femoral or tibial tunnel preparation.
The Badger Drill Bit 5.0 mm (C8550) is part of the advanced Badger series developed for ligament reconstruction surgeries, especially to support minimally invasive or transtibial approaches. The design features an acorn-style aggressive front cutting edge and a smooth shaft that helps protect surrounding cartilage and soft tissue during drilling. With its 5.0 mm diameter and standard length of 229.0 mm, it accommodates smaller grafts or fixation systems and ensures consistent tunnel sizing. Packaged sterile and intended for single use, the device supports efficient surgical workflow and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
