XC N-Series Acetabular Reaming Drill

General orthopaedic trauma theatres rely on bone drills that combine speed, accuracy, low noise, and strong sterilisation durability to support high-volume fracture fixation, plating, and intramedullary nail preparation. The N Series Bone Drill, available through Medigear.uk, delivers variable speed from 0 to 1300 rpm in a high-strength stainless steel handpiece with ≤ 0.05 mm axial run-out, providing the concentric precision required for accurate implant placement in trauma and joint reconstruction. CE Certification and ISO 13485-aligned documentation support the institutional approval requirements of hospital procurement teams and NHS buying frameworks.

In elective joint arthroplasty and reconstruction, the N Series Bone Drill's ≤ 0.05 mm run-out ensures drill holes for implant screws, guide pins, and fixation wires are placed accurately on axis, which directly determines final implant seating and alignment. The stepless variable trigger enables real-time speed modulation as bone density varies along the drill path. Medigear.uk can provide the full technical datasheet confirming speed, torque, noise, and run-out specifications for institutional clinical engineering and procurement review.

Trauma teams performing complex multi-fragment fracture fixation, external fixator pin placement, and K-wire driving benefit from the N Series Bone Drill's Jacobs chuck range of 0.6 to 8.0 mm, which accommodates all standard instrument diameters used across these techniques without requiring a secondary handpiece. The forward- and reverse-direction function supports bit and wire extraction without releasing the grip. The complete set from Medigear.uk arrives with all required components for immediate CSSD commissioning.

B2B distributors supplying orthopaedic trauma theatres can include the N Series Bone Drill within a trauma power tool catalogue alongside oscillating saws, reciprocating saws, and cannulate drills. We offer volume pricing, OEM labelling, and CE and ISO documentation packages through our Medigear.uk procurement team for distributors managing regulatory submissions in their markets.

≤ 0.05 mm Axial Run-Out — Clinical Precision for Accurate Implant Placement

The N Series Bone Drill maintains axial concentricity run-out at or below 0.05 mm, ensuring the drill tip remains within 0.05 mm of the intended rotational axis throughout the full operating depth and speed range. This level of concentricity is the accepted standard for surgical bone drilling in orthopaedic implant placement, cannulated screw technique, and intramedullary nail preparation, where hole accuracy directly determines the seating and stability of the implant. The run-out specification is confirmed in the N Series technical documentation available through Medigear.uk.

≤ 63 dB Low-Noise Operation — Reduced Acoustic Burden During Extended Lists

The N Series Bone Drill operates at or below 63 dB, which is within the ambient acoustic range of a standard orthopaedic theatre, thereby reducing cumulative auditory fatigue for surgical teams running extended trauma lists with repeated drilling sequences. Low-noise drilling is also clinically relevant in procedures where the surgeon relies on auditory feedback from changes in bone resistance through the drill to identify anatomical landmarks. The noise specification is confirmed in the N Series Bone Drill technical data sheet available from Medigear.uk.

0 to 1300 rpm Stepless Variable Speed — Real-Time Control Across All Bone Densities

The full 0 to 1300 rpm range is continuously variable through the trigger, with no stepped transitions between speed bands, allowing the surgeon to begin drilling at zero speed for positioning, ramp to full working speed through cortical bone, and decelerate as the far cortex is approached. This stepless control characteristic is the accepted standard for precision surgical bone drills used in orthopaedic and trauma procedures, where initial engagement speed and final approach speed significantly affect the accuracy of outcomes.

CE Certified and ISO 13485-Aligned — NHS-Ready Compliance for Trauma Theatre Procurement.

The N Series Bone Drill is CE-certified and manufactured to ISO 13485, meeting the compliance requirements of NHS trust procurement committees, hospital medical device approval panels, and government framework buying assessors. Medigear.uk holds the Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation ready to issue alongside the product, reducing the administrative preparation time for institutional approval submissions. For multi-product N Series procurement submissions, the Medigear.uk team can supply consolidated documentation across the full set.

Jacobs Key Chuck: 0.6 to 8.0 mm — Full Orthopaedic Trauma Instrument Range

The Jacobs key chuck of the N Series Bone Drill accepts instruments from 0.6 mm to 8.0 mm in shaft diameter, covering K-wires, standard cortical drill bits, guide pins for cannulated screw systems, and the larger instruments used in external fixator pin placement without requiring a different chuck or handpiece. The keyed mechanism provides secure retention under high-torque cortical-drilling loads, offering a reliability advantage over keyless designs in high-resistance drilling applications.

High-Strength Biomedical Stainless Steel — Autoclavable at 135°C, Built for Longevity

The N Series Bone Drill handpiece is manufactured from high-strength biomedical stainless steel that withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation at up to 135°C at 1.6 MPa without corrosion or structural degradation. This material specification is the accepted standard for reusable Class II surgical power tools used in high-frequency sterilisation environments such as busy hospital trauma programmes. The stainless steel construction and autoclave tolerance are confirmed specifications of the N Series Bone Drill.

Forward and Reverse Direction Control — Intraoperative Versatility

The integrated direction switch on the N Series handpiece enables forward and reverse rotation without releasing the operative grip, providing immediate control over drill-bit extraction from bound bone, K-wire withdrawal after provisional fixation, and screw backing during implant positioning adjustments. The switch requires deliberate actuation rather than accidental activation and is positioned for thumb operation from the standard pistol grip.

Complete Set in Aluminium Alloy Case — Theatre Ready From Goods Receipt

The N Series Bone Drill is supplied as a complete set in an aluminium alloy carrying case containing the handpiece, battery, charger, Jacobs chuck with key, sterilising channel, and all accessories required for immediate CSSD commissioning. The aluminium case protects all components during transit and provides structured storage between operative sessions. Individual replacement components, including batteries, sterilising channels, and chuck keys, are available through Medigear.uk for ongoing set maintenance.

OEM and Volume Supply — Trauma Power Tool Platform for Distributor Catalogues

Medigear. The UK offers OEM configuration, volume pricing, and custom set composition for the N Series Bone Drill, making it a strong anchor product for B2B distributors building orthopaedic trauma power tool catalogues across hospital and clinical markets. We can provide white-label branding and regulatory documentation in different market formats, depending on order volume. The Medigear.uk business team provides CE and ISO documentation packages for distributor regulatory submissions.

Minimum Speed: 0 rpm — Variable Range From Rest for Controlled Cortical Engagement

The N Series Bone Drill starts from zero rpm, allowing the drill bit to be positioned against the cortical surface before any rotation begins. This zero-start characteristic is essential in cannulated screw technique where the bit must be seated over a guidewire before drilling commences, and in trauma fixation where accurate initial positioning on smooth cortical bone prevents skating and off-axis entry.

Maximum Speed: 1300 rpm — Optimised Ceiling for Orthopaedic Bone Drilling

The 1300 rpm no-load maximum speed provides efficient penetration through cortical and cancellous bone while remaining within the thermal safety threshold for standard technique. Speed customisation to 1100, 1200, 1350, and 1500 rpm is available; confirm preferred speed with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Total Speed Range: 0 to 1300 rpm — Stepless Variable Control

The complete 0 to 1300 rpm range is continuously variable through the trigger without stepped transitions, allowing the surgeon to modulate drilling speed in real time as bone density changes along the drill path. Stepless control is the accepted characteristic for precision surgical bone drills used in orthopaedic and trauma procedures.

Motor Torque: ≥ 7500 g·cm — Sustained Force for Cortical Bone Penetration

A torque output of 7500 g·cm or above provides the rotational force needed to drive the drill bit through the full cortical thickness of femoral, tibial, and other long bone sites without stalling under load. This torque value is confirmed in the N Series Bone Drill technical specification.

Axial Concentricity Run-Out: ≤ 0.05 mm — High-Precision Drilling

The ≤ 0.05 mm axial run-out specification ensures the drill tip deviates no more than 0.05 mm from the intended rotational axis during operation at any operating speed. This precision is the standard for orthopaedic implant placement and is confirmed in the N Series product documentation from Medigear.uk.

Noise Level: ≤ 63 dB — Quiet Operation During Extended Trauma Lists

The N Series Bone Drill operates at or below 63 dB, below the threshold requiring supplementary hearing protection under standard occupational health guidelines. Low noise reduces cumulative fatigue during extended trauma lists with repeated drilling sequences.

Temperature Rise: ≤ 25°C — Comfortable Long-Duration Handpiece Operation

The motor and handpiece temperature rise during operation is specified at no more than 25°C above ambient, ensuring the handpiece remains comfortable to hold through extended drilling sequences. This specification is confirmed in the N Series technical data sheet.

Chuck Type: Jacobs Key Chuck, 0.6 to 8.0 mm

The Jacobs key chuck accepts drill bits and guide pins from 0.6 to 8.0 mm in shaft diameter, covering the full range of instruments used in orthopaedic trauma, arthroplasty, and cannulated screw technique. The keyed mechanism provides secure retention under high-torque cortical drilling loads. Chuck key is included in the set.

Direction Control: Forward and Reverse Switch on Handpiece

An integrated direction switch enables forward and reverse rotation without releasing the grip. Reverse is used for bit extraction, K-wire removal, and screw adjustment. The switch requires deliberate actuation and is positioned for thumb operation from the standard pistol grip.

Battery: 14.4 V NiMH — Non-Autoclavable, Removed Before Sterilisation

The 14.4 V NiMH battery must be removed before autoclave sterilisation of the handpiece. Replacement batteries are available as spare parts through Medigear.uk.

Handpiece Material: High-Strength Biomedical Stainless Steel — Autoclavable at 135°C

The handpiece is manufactured from high-strength biomedical stainless steel autoclavable at up to 135°C at 1.6 MPa once the battery is removed. This material is the standard for reusable Class II surgical power tools.
