b. Slowly remove the inserter.

Use of Smith & Nephew Drill Bits

for BIORAPTOR™ Suture Anchors

(sold separately)

Smith & Nephew Drill Bits should be used with the

BIORAPTOR Suture Anchors to aid in the preparation

of the insertion site.

• The surgeon should select the means of drilling

(e.g., power drill, manual drill, etc.). Proper hole

depth can be achieved by the following:

– Recommended: The depth stop on the drill bit

will bottom out on the proximal end of the in-

line guide when proper hole depth is reached.

– The wide viewing window on the in-line

guide can be used to gauge proper hole

depth by advancing the drill bit until the black

band in the drill is centered within the wide

viewing window.

– If an in-line drill guide is not used, proper

hole depth can be achieved when the

shoulder on the distal end of the drill bit

contacts the bone surface.

Note: Use of a Smith & Nephew In-line Guide and

Obturator is strongly recommended to aid in the

preparation of the insertion site for all hip procedures.

WARNING: Inspect the drill bit for damage

prior to use. Replace a damaged or worn

drill bit. Do not attempt to straighten or sharpen

the drill bit. Sharpening will alter the implantation

site and could affect anchor stability.

Use of Smith & Nephew

Reusable Drill Guides and

Obturators (sold separately)

Use of Smith & Nephew Reusable Drill Guides and

Obturators is recommended to aid in the implantation

of the BIORAPTOR Suture Anchors.

The Smith & Nephew Drill Guides available for use are

designed to aid in axial alignment during drilling and

anchor insertion via the use of viewing windows on

the guide and alignment etch marks on the guide, drill

bit, and inserter.

Drill guides should only be used with drill bits that

have depth stops.

Depending on the type of drill guide used, the guides

may have one or two sets of viewing windows.
