Sand Drills
Sand drills are precision rotary instruments designed for controlled bone ablation in orthopedic and dental surgery. Their name derives from the fine, sand-like texture of the cutting surface, which enables smooth, low-vibration material removal with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
Common applications include cavity preparation for implants, osteotomy refinement, and delicate sculpting of bone grafts. When selecting a sand drill, consider the required grit size, shank compatibility with your handpiece system, and the need for irrigation channels to maintain safe operating temperatures during prolonged use.
