Surgical instrument torque limiter

Intended purpose

A small device designed to attach to a surgical power tool or a manual surgical instrument to define the torque effect of that tool allowing the surgeon to apply the correct torque, e.g., when tightening an orthopaedic fixation screw during a surgical intervention. It is available in various shapes, sizes and torque ranges. It will normally provide an indication to the surgeon when the pre-set torque level is reached with an audible click and release of rotational traction. Reusable device.
