Description

Bunnell Hand Drills

The Bunnell hand drill is a manual drill for fine work in hand surgery. It drills small holes and passes wires in the bones of the hand.

A hand surgery classic

Sterling Bunnell, a founder of hand surgery, gave the name to many fine instruments. Furthermore, this drill suits small bones and delicate work. Besides, it gives direct feel at the tip.

Fine control

Hand surgery needs precise, slow drilling. Therefore a manual drill helps the surgeon stop exactly at the far cortex. Heat stays low as well.

Who uses the Bunnell hand drill

Hand surgeons use it for Kirschner wires and small screws. Also, pediatric surgeons use it on small bones. Additionally, it suits outreach work.

Technique

Support the hand and turn the drill gently. Then check direction often. Moreover, small bones can split if forced.

Bits and wires

The drill accepts fine bits and wires. Consequently, confirm sizes with us before ordering. Also, we can advise.

Pediatric use

Children’s bones are small and soft, so control matters. Consequently, a manual drill helps the surgeon proceed gently. It also limits heat.
