Universal Drill Guide

Description

Universal Drill Guide

The universal drill guide lets the surgeon drill neutral or eccentric holes with one instrument. It saves switching between separate guides during plating.

One guide, two positions

Pressed into the plate hole one way, it centers the drill for a neutral screw. Placed differently, it offsets the hole for compression. Therefore one tool covers both needs.

Two versions

Choose the 2.5 mm version or the combined 3.2 / 4.5 mm version. Besides, the 2.5 mm guide suits small fragment work. Meanwhile, the 3.2 / 4.5 mm guide suits large fragment plates.

Who uses a universal drill guide

Trauma surgeons use it in compression plating. Furthermore, it suits forearm, tibia and femur fixation. Also, many surgeons prefer it to carrying two guides.

Learning the positions

Check your system’s guide for which end gives neutral and which gives compression. Then mark the tray if helpful. Practice helps avoid mistakes.

Compatibility

Guides must suit the plate holes. Consequently, confirm your system with us before ordering. Additionally, we will match the version.
