Screwdriver 17cm Flat End

The Screwdriver 17cm Flat End is a manual orthopedic instrument designed for controlled engagement with slotted screw heads during surgical hardware work. Its 170mm (17cm / 6.7") overall length combines a flat-end tip, a textured ergonomic handle and a slim shaft profile in a compact configuration intended for professional orthopedic use. The instrument is manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel and provides procurement teams with a clearly defined pattern for replacing or adding a flat-tip screwdriver to an orthopedic instrument set.

Design for Manual Orthopedic Screw Handling

The flat-end configuration is intended for slotted screw heads, giving the user a direct mechanical interface between the screwdriver tip and the screw slot. The textured handle is shaped to support a secure hand position during manual rotation, while the slim shaft helps preserve visual access around the working area. These features make the instrument suitable for orthopedic workflows in which controlled hand-driven screw placement or removal is required.

This screwdriver is particularly relevant for surgical teams working with bone plates, fixation hardware and revision cases that use slotted screws. Because orthopedic screw systems vary, the driver must match the screw-head pattern being used. The flat-end format should not be substituted for hex, Phillips or other drive profiles.

17cm Length and Flat-End Tip

At 17cm overall, the screwdriver offers a practical balance between reach and hand control for general orthopedic instrument sets. The page also lists the equivalent dimensions as 170mm and 6.7 inches, making the size easier to compare across hospital purchasing systems and international catalogs.

The working end is identified as flat end (slotted), and the handle is described as an ergonomic textured grip. A slim, high-visibility shaft forms the connection between the tip and handle. Together, these details help buyers distinguish this model from shorter drivers, interchangeable-bit systems and screwdrivers made for other screw-head patterns.

Product Specifications

For procurement, the combination of overall length, tip pattern, handle style and shaft profile is more useful than the product name alone. Matching those attributes to the hospital's existing orthopedic set helps reduce ordering errors when replacing an individual screwdriver.

Ordering, Selection and Care

For related products, buyers can review the Screw Holding Forceps, Taps & Countersinks collection, compare hardware categories in Orthopedic Screws, or browse broader Orthopedic Instrument Sets. These links can help procurement teams compare the screwdriver with the instruments and hardware categories used in the same orthopedic workflow.

Before adding the instrument to an existing set, compare the required overall length and drive pattern with the screw system in use. During routine instrument management, inspect the flat tip, shaft and handle for visible damage, deformation or wear that could affect manual engagement. Follow the facility's established cleaning and processing procedures and applicable product instructions.

To order, select the required option on the product page and reference SKU BH-4875 in purchasing records or distributor inquiries. Add the screwdriver to your cart for direct online purchase, or use the product details when preparing an institutional procurement request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 17cm flat-end screwdriver fit every slotted orthopedic screw?

No single driver fits every slotted screw system. The tip must seat correctly in the intended screw head, so buyers should match the driver pattern to the hardware used in their orthopedic set.

Can this screwdriver be used with hex or Phillips orthopedic screws?

No. This model uses a flat-end slotted tip rather than a hex or Phillips profile. Use the driver only with the corresponding slotted screw interface.

Is a 17cm screwdriver suitable for orthopedic plate fixation work?

A 17cm manual driver can be suitable where the surgical set calls for this length and a slotted drive pattern. The required driver configuration depends on the plate and screw system selected for the procedure.

Can this instrument be used for orthopedic hardware removal?

The product page lists hardware removal among its professional uses. It is appropriate where the existing hardware uses a compatible slotted screw head and a manual flat-end driver is required.

Is this a manual screwdriver or a powered drill attachment?

This is a manual orthopedic screwdriver. It should not be treated as a powered drill bit or quick-connect attachment.

What should procurement teams compare before ordering this screwdriver?

Compare the required 17cm overall length, flat-end drive pattern and instrument-set requirements with the hardware system already in use. For replacement orders, also match the product identifier in your purchasing records to avoid substituting a different screwdriver pattern.
