Conmed Badger Drill Bits 5.5mm dia. C8591
The Badger Drill Bit 5.5 mm (CAT # C8591) is a sterile, single-use cannulated orthopedic drill bit engineered for creating a precise 5.5 mm diameter tunnel in ligament reconstruction surgeries. It features a working length of approximately 229.0 mm and is designed for femoral or tibial bone tunnel preparation. The instrument supports accuracy and safety in arthroscopic ligament repair workflows.
The Badger Drill Bit 5.5 mm (C8591) belongs to the advanced Badger series developed for ligament reconstruction instrumentation with a focus on tissue-preservation and efficient tunnel creation. Its acorn-style aggressive front cutting edge combined with a smooth shaft helps reduce cartilage and soft tissue damage during transtibial drilling. With the 5.5 mm diameter and standardized length, it supports smaller graft and fixation systems while ensuring consistent, reproducible results. Packaged sterile and intended for single use, it enables optimal cutting performance and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination in surgical settings.
