The tip design is critical for surgical performance. The cupped, serrated, and fenestrated configuration serves two main purposes:

• Effective Engagement: The serrated edges provide a secure grip on bone material.
• Efficient Removal: The fenestrated design allows for smoother passage and effective removal of tissue and bone material during complex spinal procedures.
