The tip comprises a tip body; several spiral-shaped ribs protruding from the tip body; and several protrusions arranged to the ribs. The protrusions comprise a point which is arranged such that, during rotation of the tip about its central longitudinal axis, the point of the protrusion is ahead of the rib to which the protrusion is arranged.
