Conmed 1.3mm Diposable Drill Bit, for Hard Bone Y13DHB
The Y13DHB is a 1.3 mm diameter disposable drill bit designed specifically for drilling hard bone when using the Y-Knot Flex / PRO Flex all-suture anchor systems. It is supplied sterile and intended for single-use. It helps prepare pilot holes appropriate for insertion of 1.3 mm ribbon or suture anchors in dense cortical bone.
This drill bit is optimized to handle hard bone (dense cortical bone) without dulled cutting edges, allowing surgeons to drill with less force and reduced risk of fracture or heat damage. Because it’s disposable, each bit offers fresh sharpness, so there’s better reliability in the pilot hole geometry. Using the proper hard-bone drill bit helps ensure the anchor seats well even in very dense bony surfaces, reducing anchor pull-through risk and improving overall fixation stability. It is part of the standard instrumentation recommended for Y-Knot Flex anchors when used with ribbon configurations in hard bone.
