Details
Device typeAutomatic cranial perforator, single-use: A sterile, metallic rotary endpiece designed to cut a circular section, or sections, of the skull vault (calvarium) to provide access to the interior for diagnostic/therapeutic purposes or for the removal of a bone flap for brain surgery. It typically consists of two coaxial drill shafts (one rotating inside the other), a drive shank that enables connection to a powered (either electrical or pneumatic) handpiece, and a built-in clutch mechanism. The inner drill shaft extends slightly beyond the outer cutter in such a way that when the inner drill shafts penetrates the inner table of the skull the clutch mechanism disengages. This is a single-use device.
