Surgical drill guides are handheld tools used in orthopedic and spinal procedures to precisely position and angle drills into bone while shielding nearby soft tissues. They ensure accurate placement of screws, implants, or other fixation devices by maintaining consistent depth and orientation during drilling.
These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical instruments, often classified based on their risk level and intended surgical application. They are commonly supplied sterile, pre-packaged, and designed for one-time use to maintain sterility and reduce infection risks in operating rooms.
