Surgical countersinks are reusable rotary tools used to widen the opening of a pre-drilled hole in bone. Clinically, they help seat screws flush with or below the bone surface, ensuring proper fixation and reducing soft tissue irritation during orthopedic or trauma procedures.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with general medical device safety standards. They are often supplied as part of orthopedic implant systems or as standalone tools, designed for repeated use with proper sterilization between procedures.
