?:definition
  • Surgical drill bits designed to be held and revolved by a rotary device to excavate, perforate, or excise fragments of bone. These drill bits typically consist of a cylindrical shank of stainless steel or other hard metal alloy with a uniform cross-section. They include a working end with cutting edges (e.g., twisted, helicoidally), and a notched or elongated proximal end to fit into the rotary device (e.g., a drill, handpiece). Some bone drills are cannulated to allow their use over a pin or guide wire. They are usually intended for reuse after sterilization, but can be disposable (single-use). Dedicated standard and cannulated bone surgical drills are available for a variety of procedures, including reshaping bones and implantation of prostheses during orthopedic procedures.
