When using a high-speed craniotomy drill, please pay attention to the following points:

(1) When using a high-speed drill bit, if the drill bit rotates and gets caught up in the drill bit, it can cause braided damage and damage to the underlying brain tissue, especially during deep surgery.

(2) Only products that meet the standards during inspection can be used, while those that do not meet the standards are defective or scrap products.

(3) Rotating drill bits, especially when running at low speeds or when the drill bit becomes dull, sometimes slide from their original direction. Pressing hard in this situation can cause the drill bit to shift easily. To prevent this situation, it is necessary to start the motor and hold the steering wheel before the drill touches the skull.

(4) Do not drill vertically downwards at the front end of the drill bit, maintain an angle.

(5) When drilling into adjacent soft tissue areas, please replace the diamond drill bit to avoid damaging the soft tissue.

(6) When using a high-speed craniotomy drill, a large amount of heat is generated, so please continuously flush water into the drill area. High speed cranial drills are difficult tools for neurosurgeons to control, and practicing their operations in the laboratory is important for familiarizing oneself with their performance and understanding their scope of application. Untrained doctors cannot fully utilize the role of high-speed drilling during surgery, which affects the safety of the operation.

(7) Different drilling forms: disposable sterile skull drill bit, disposable sterile end mill, diamond ball type, tungsten steel ball type, stainless steel straight edge type, stainless steel matchhead type. When performing a craniotomy in the posterior cranial fossa, it is important to use an end mill to enter the foramen magnum and be careful when removing the transverse sinus and sinus junction of the skull. The surgeon should use their right hand to hold the skull drill handle in a pen like manner, with their arm resting on the handrest for stability.
