Bottom line: There are many types of these vital surgical tools
available, but each of your surgeons should trial the options and
share their preferences before you buy. Never try to talk surgeons
into using tools they don't feel fully confident about using.

attachments allow for drilling, reaming, burring, sagittal sawing and
reciprocal sawing/burring. The tool runs on a powerful, rechargeable
lithium-ion battery designed to provide plenty of power and
endurance. A universal adaptor changing system lets surgeons easily
switch attachments for all types of small bone surgeries.
