Surgical instrument torque limiters are reusable mechanical devices that attach to power tools or manual instruments to control torque during orthopedic procedures. They help surgeons apply precise rotational force—such as when securing fixation screws—while preventing over-tightening that could damage implants or tissue.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical tools, often requiring compliance with general medical device safety standards. They are supplied as standalone accessories, designed for repeated use in sterile environments, and may fall under specific classification based on their intended surgical application.
