Ⅰ. What kind of drill is used in orthopedic surgery?
Orthopedic surgeons are like “human carpenters,” using delicate instruments to repair the body. Although it is a bit rough, it highlights an important feature of orthopedic surgery: reconstruction and fixation.
Orthopedic Tool Box:
1. Orthopedic Hammer: The orthopedic hammer is used for installation equipment. However, the orthopedic hammer is more delicate and lightweight, with more precise and controllable striking force.
- Osteotome Percussion: Used in conjunction with a bone hammer for fine cutting or separating bone tissue.
2. Bone Saw: A bone saw is used for cutting bones. However, there are more types of bone saws with more specialized functions, such as:
-Reciprocating Saw: The saw blade moves back and forth. Fast cutting speed, suitable for transverse cutting or bone cutting of long bones.
-Oscillating Saw: The saw blade provides greater safety and less damage to surrounding soft tissues. It is suitable for precise bone cutting in surgeries like joint replacement.
- Wire Saw (Gigli Saw): A flexible steel wire saw suitable for cutting bones in special areas or angles.
3. Bone Screws & Steel Plates: Bone screws and steel plates are like carpenter’s nails and boards, used to fix fractures and reconstruct bones. But the orthopedic “nails” are made of higher-grade materials, designed more intricately, and have more powerful functions, for example:
4. Bone Cutting Pliers (Rongeur) with sharp ends, used for cutting, trimming, or shaping bones, often used for removing bone spurs, enlarging bone holes, or obtaining bone tissue.
5. Bone Drill: Used for drilling holes in bones to insert screws, wires, or other internal fixations. It is a commonly used bone drilling instrument in orthopedic surgery.
Ⅱ. What is the high speed neuro drill system?
High-speed neuro drill system is a key device for microsurgical neurosurgery, especially indispensable in cranial base surgery.
Functions
High-speed drilling: Drilling speed can reach 16000-20000r/min, Which is greatly ensures the success of the surgery.
Direction control: The electric drill supports both forward and reverse rotation. For lesions on the right side, rotate to avoid damage to the brainstem or auditory nerve.
Cooling system: Some drill bit needs continuous water cooling during operation, but its drill bits come with a cooling hose.
Composition
The system includes a craniotome, motor, foot switch, drill bit, etc. The drill can adjust its speed with a foot pedal.
Clinical Application
It is mainly used for delicate operations such as skull base surgery, frontal sinus or internal auditory canal resection, and strict adherence to operating specifications is required to ensure safety.
