Synthes 316.294 Drill Bit Mini Quick Connect w/ 14mm Stop 44.5mm • Model: 316.294• Diameter: .76mm• Stop Size: 14mm• Overall Length: 44.5mm The Synthes 316.294 is a precision drill bit designed for use with mini‑fragment orthopedic systems, integrating a mini quick coupling interface. With a diameter of just 0.76 mm, it’s a very small, fine drill bit—suitable for delicate work, perhaps in small bones or in situations where minimal invasiveness is required. The tiny diameter means the bit is likely used for pilot holes, guidewire paths, or small screws/pins, rather than large compressive loads. Its slim profile helps reduce trauma to bone and soft tissue while preserving as much bone stock as possible. A key feature of this bit is the 14 mm stop. This built‑in depth stop allows the surgeon to limit how far the bit penetrates into the bone (or beyond), which is critical in areas close to vital structures (nerves, vessels), or when matching the depth needed for the implant without over‑dr
