High Speed Drills

The high speed drill has become a standard of care in neurosurgery to provide safe, swift and controlled access to the cranial vault in order to approach the neural structures within. The precision and high level of control over the drill also offers benefits in many other areas where fine bone dissection is required such as spinal surgery, ENT surgery, maxillo-facial surgery and some orthopaedic procedures. Forth Medical supplies the Anspach range of drills into these different specialties and is the market leader in the UK in high speed drills.
