Orthopaedic implant drivers are handheld surgical tools used during orthopedic procedures to apply precise force and torque for inserting fixation devices. These devices help secure implants like screws, nails, plates, or wires into bone, aiding fracture repair or prosthesis attachment during surgeries such as joint replacements or spinal fusions.
These instruments are typically reusable, constructed from durable materials like stainless steel or titanium, and are designed for single-use per surgical procedure. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their role in surgical precision and risk level, often requiring compliance with medical device standards for sterility and performance.
