Surgical drill guides are reusable tools used in orthopedic and spinal surgeries to precisely position and angle drills or bone-coring instruments on hard tissue like bone. Their tubular design or guiding holes ensure accurate placement while protecting surrounding soft tissue, making them essential for procedures requiring controlled drilling or coring.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with general medical device standards depending on jurisdiction. They are often supplied as standalone tools or as part of surgical kits, designed for repeated use across multiple patients with proper sterilization.
