We dedicate this specialized post to surgeons, specialists and colleagues who work in the field of orthopedics.
Orthopedic drill and saw is a device that is used to perform surgery on bone parts or joints. It allows drilling, sawing, reaming and screwing. This material is mainly used in human orthopedic surgery, veterinary medicine and even jaw surgery.
When buying a saw or drill, the following parameters are important:
1- Application:
We must choose a saw and a drill that are specific to bone and joint injuries. The drills used for the jaw are not necessarily the same as the drills used for bones and joints.
2-Ergonomics:
Ergonomics actually means being easy to handle and matching the surgeon's hand and the patient's surgical area. It mainly depends on the weight of the drill or saw. Remember that it is better for a saw or drill to be light in order to avoid slipping during work.
Some surgical drills and saws are gun-shaped for operating on long bones. Others are in the shape of a pen, which is more suitable for delicate surgeries or small bones.
4- Power source:
Electric surgical tools can be pneumatic, electric or battery-powered. The amount of power supply is one of the things you can pay attention to.< /p>
5- Adaptability of orthopedic saw and drill:
It is possible to replace the tool used (saw, reamer, drill). Some models have only one function, others have several functions by changing the saw head or saw blade. In the second case, the head of the device can be changed. Of course, most devices are multi-purpose.
6- Noise level of the device:
Some models are noisy. And there are sounds that can disturb the work or cause an increase in mental pressure during the operation. It is preferable to choose a quieter and quieter model.
7- The presence of a trigger to change clockwise and anticlockwise direction:
With this, you can change the direction of screwing or drilling the device with a simple finger pressure.
8-Sterilization ability:
It is a suitable device that can be sterilized after the operation and placed in the autoclave, of course, almost all orthopedic drills should have this feature.
9- Being channelized:
This feature makes the device more flexible due to the presence of a channel in the device to adjust the reamer.
10- Warranty and after-sales service:
This feature, which is a general feature for all electrical appliances, is the warranty period of the device or repair of the device. It is very important in case of failure.
