Cannulated surgical drill, single-use

Intended purpose

A metal shaft intended to be mounted into an appropriate surgical power tool (e.g., a pneumatic reamer or drilling system handpiece with appropriate torque capacity) and rotated to bore into hard/tough tissues (e.g., bone, cartilage) in order to clear a channel of the same diameter as the shaft, typically for the insertion of a prosthetic device or other orthopaedic implant. It has a hollow centre so it can be fed over a drill guiding pin, and may be flexible; devices to assist the procedure (e.g., drill guiding pin, manual driver) may be included. This is a single-use device.
