Errico Drill for Hudson Brace 16mm

Clinical Application

Designed for use with a Hudson brace, this hand-driven drill provides controlled, low-speed drilling for creation of pilot holes in bone. It is appropriate where tactile feedback and fine control are required—for example during fracture fixation, hand and wrist procedures, trauma settings, or when powered drills are unavailable or undesirable. The instrument is used to prepare holes for temporary fixation pins, wires, or to begin screw trajectories prior to powered reaming or tapping.

Design & Configuration

The Hudson-brace-compatible configuration ensures secure seating in the brace chuck and reliable torque transmission from the operator. The 16 mm designation indicates the nominal size used to match hole requirements; the compact, hand-driven geometry gives the surgeon direct tactile feedback and fine rotational control compared with high-speed power drills. This low-speed approach reduces thermal generation in bone and is useful in tight or delicate anatomical spaces where precision is critical.
