The Sentinel Drill Bit 5.5 mm (CAT # S8555) is a sterile, single-use cannulated drill designed for tunnel creation in ligament reconstruction procedures. It features a diameter of 5.5 mm and a total length of 229.0 mm. Manufactured for use in femoral and tibial drilling, it supports precise bone tunnel formation.
The Sentinel Drill Bit S8555 provides high accuracy and safety in orthopedic ligament-reconstruction surgeries by delivering a consistent 5.5 mm diameter tunnel with its mono-fluted, 270° smooth surface design that reduces risk of cartilage or condyle damage. It is cannulated for use over a 2.4 mm guide pin and marked with depth graduations (15–120 mm) for controlled tunnel length. The drill is packaged sterile as single-use, ensuring no cross-contamination and optimal sharpness in each procedure. Its design supports both transtibial and anteromedial portal approaches, giving surgeons flexibility in tunnel placement.
