trocars
Can someone tell me what the difference is between these two terms regarding the design of trocars? "Zigrinatura" is mainly used in my text but "filettatura" is also used and when they are differentiated like that I am not sure what other word might be used in English.
Thanks in advance!

| Thanks Liz, no, I didn't find "knurled" either for it, though "ridging" had come to mind. |

"Filettatura di stabilità" is something only for grasp surface, "threaded for grip", like knurl, but I think it doesn't mean realy "threaded" technically speaking.
A thread in mechanical engineering is like that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread
they are used to amplify force, a small torque applied to a screw can exert a large axial force on a mass.
and a knurl is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knurling
IMHO
...cannula trasparente a becco di flauto e rastremata distalmente, dotata di zigrinatura o filettatura di stabilità...
I can't give my own sentences due to confidentiality.
I can't really share the sentences because of confidentiality
a bolt or a screw (bullone, vite) are filettati, that is, made ready to host something inside (or be screwed inside something else)
