Drilling power tool attachments (basic) are reusable mechanical devices designed to connect to surgical power tools, converting general rotational motion into precise drilling actions. They are used clinically in orthopedic and trauma surgeries to create holes in bone for screws, plates, or other fixation hardware, often featuring specialized designs like angled heads or cannulated shafts for better surgical access.

These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with general medical device safety standards. They are commonly supplied as reusable components, requiring proper sterilization and maintenance between uses, and may be classified differently depending on the jurisdiction and specific surgical application.
