Drill Point for Crutchfield Cervical Traction Tong Instrument

Description

Drill Point for Crutchfield Cervical Traction Tong Instrument

The Crutchfield drill point prepares the skull for a Crutchfield cervical traction tong. Surgeons use it to make small starting holes, so the tong points can seat in the bone.

Its job in skull traction

Cervical traction pulls on the skull to align or unload the neck. The tong needs a secure hold, so the points must sit in shallow holes in the outer bone. This drill point creates those holes before the tong goes on.

Two diameters

We offer two diameters: 3.5 mm and 5.0 mm. Both drill points measure 7 cm long. Match the diameter to the tong points you use, and contact us if you are unsure which one fits.

How teams use it

Traction is often urgent. For instance, a patient with a cervical injury may need tongs placed quickly in the emergency room. Therefore, the drill point and tong should sit together in one ready kit.

Matching it to your tong

We list the Crutchfield tong in our range as well. First, check the tong size you stock. Then order the matching drill point, and consider a spare so the kit stays complete while one goes through reprocessing.

Caring for your Crutchfield drill point

Clear bone debris from the cutting end right after use. Next, clean it with a small brush and rinse it well. Dry the drill point completely, and protect the tip in storage so it stays sharp.
