New High-Speed Electric Drill for Surgeons

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 14 Jul 2010


An innovative electric high-speed (EHS) surgical drill offers power and maneuverability, combined with easy to use fingertip controls.

The Medtronic Midas Rex Legend EHS Stylus Touch drill is intended for spinal, cranial, and orthopedic surgical procedures. The drill employs an integrated finger control, with both high torque and a compact size, thus enabling excellent balance and maneuverability for procedures undertaken in tight anatomic spaces. The drill is powered by Medtronic's Integrated Power Console (IPC) system, a multispecialty power console that offers improved intraoperative functionality. The motor is equipped with a light cable to provide more flexibility as compared to a pneumatic hose. Using the IPC system's touch-screen interface, surgeons can use saved custom settings, quickly adjust irrigation via simple remote control, and run multiple hand-pieces.

As part of the standardized Medtronic Legend platform, the Legend EHS Stylus Touch drill is compatible with interchangeable tools and attachments suited for a broad range of surgical procedures. Additional features include ergonomic positioning and true variable speed adjustment from 200 to 75,000 RPM, and facility for surgeons to operate the drill using finger control only, foot pedal, control or both. The Medtronic Midas Rex Legend EHS Stylus Touch drill is a product of Medtronic (Minneapolis, MN, USA).

"With almost 50 years of leadership and innovation in high-speed surgical drills, we're excited to offer our newest Midas Rex drill for surgeons who prefer the convenience and familiarity of finger control,” said Darren Woodruff, product manager for spinal power with the neurologic technologies division at Medtronic. "The Legend EHS Stylus Touch doesn't require a foot pedal at all, which can be advantageous during multisurgeon procedures and at busy trauma centers.”
