Stanton Nail/Screw Drill Guide Assembly — Drill Guide Holder Only
John L. Stanton, MD
Designed to help hold and stabilize a drill guide, allowing the surgeon to obtain ‘perfect circles’ and drill distal locking screw holes without exposure of the hand to the x-ray beam
The drill guide unit (sleeve/trocar) is placed over the side of the bone through an incision. The locking holder is attached to the guide and rested against the skin for stability. With the x-ray on, the guide unit is adjusted by moving the holder until the trocar lines up with a hole in the rod. The trocar is removed and a drill bit is then inserted into the guide.
