How Does The Drill Sleeve Work

A drill sleeve is a surgical instrument designed to provide precise guidance and support during drilling procedures. It typically consists of a sleeve-like component with a tapered or cylindrical shape, and it is often used in conjunction with a drill guide.

Here’s how a drill sleeve works:

1. Attachment: The drill sleeve is attached to the drill guide, which is securely fixed to the patient’s bone.
2. Alignment: The drill guide and drill sleeve are aligned with the desired drilling trajectory, ensuring that the drill bit will penetrate the bone at the correct angle and depth.
3. Drilling: The drill bit is inserted into the drill sleeve, providing a precise guide for the drilling process. The drill sleeve helps prevent the drill bit from deviating from the intended path, reducing the risk of complications.
4. Depth Control: Some drill sleeves may have markings or indicators to help the surgeon maintain the desired depth of the drill hole.
