A cannulated surgical drill bit is a reusable metal tool designed to create precise channels in hard tissues like bone or cartilage during orthopedic procedures. Its hollow shaft allows it to be guided over a pre-placed pin, ensuring accurate placement for procedures such as intramedullary reaming before implanting prosthetics.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with standards for reusable medical devices. They are commonly supplied as part of orthopedic surgical systems and must meet safety and performance criteria for repeated use in clinical settings.
