Sklar Drill Guide for 13-7030
An orthopedic drill guide designed to fit Sklar instrument 13-7030, used to position and steady a drill bit accurately when preparing bone for fixation.
The Sklar Drill Guide is an orthopedic accessory made to fit with Sklar instrument 13-7030, helping a surgeon position a drill bit precisely on the surface of the bone before drilling a hole for a screw, pin or other fixation device. Using a guide of this kind reduces the chance of the drill bit skating across the bone surface or entering at the wrong angle, both of which can compromise the placement of hardware and prolong the procedure.
Drill guides are standard components of orthopedic sets used in fracture fixation, joint reconstruction and other bone surgery, and are handled by orthopedic surgeons and their surgical assistants during the drilling stage of a case. Because this guide is matched to a specific parent instrument, ordering the correct part number matters for compatibility, and it is intended to be used alongside, not instead of, instrument 13-7030.
As a stainless steel component, it is designed for repeated cleaning and sterilisation as part of a reusable orthopedic instrument tray in a hospital theatre.
