Abstract

This specification covers the acceptable material and dimensional requirements, and tolerances for bits of screwdrivers used for inserting and removing metal screws applied in surgical implants. The medical screwdrivers are available in the following types: Type Isingle-slot bit; Type IIcruciate-slot bit; Type IIIcross-slot (modified Phillips) bit; Type IVhexagonal bit; Type Vsquare bit; Type VIhexalobe bit. The bit and shaft portion should be fabricated from either martensitic stainless steel or cold worked cobalt-chromium-tungsten-nickel alloy, as specified. The portions should also meet specified values of Rockwell hardness.

Scope
