20220218361 · 2022-07-14 ·

A drill bit for drilling into bone, including at least a first, second and third longitudinally extending substantially straight flute blades, wherein the drill bit has an extrapolated outer profile established by rotation of the first, second and third flute blades 360 degrees about a longitudinal axis thereof, the extrapolated outer profile includes a first surface having tangents more perpendicular than parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the extrapolated outer profile includes a second surface having tangents more parallel than perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

VERTICAL DRILLING GUIDE AND FLATNESS MEASURING DEVICE FOR BONE CONDUCTION IMPLANT
20220295201 · 2022-09-15 ·

The present disclosure relates to a device that can guide perpendicular drilling and simultaneously measure flatness of an insertion surface through a locking protrusion by rotating the device in bone conduction implantation. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to measure flatness and guide perpendicular boring with a constant force even without using a separate flatness measurer in surgery. Further, it is also possible to guide drilling using a spacer having a smaller diameter by using an assistant guide member.
