5.0 mm Flexible Hexagonal Screwdriver, Coated

The 5.0 mm flexible hexagonal screwdriver has a silicon-coated flexible screwdriver shaft which was designed specifically to improve cleaning. By impregnating the coils of the flexible shaft with silicon it creates a barrier to blood and debris. The coating increased the overall diameter of the screw driver shaft and also decreased its perceived flexibility.

Furthermore, the hexagonal design has been modified to allow the driver to find its way into the recess easily. The changed screwdriver tip has significantly improved the ease of engaging the TFN blade antirotation device for its ultimate delivery to engage the blade.
