Drilling jig for surgical drilling tools
First Claim
1. Drilling jig for a surgical drilling tool, comprising:
- two sleeves of identical design alongside each other on a common holder;
each sleeve being mounted on said holder so as to be pivotable in relation to each other about an axis of rotation extending perpendicular to their longitudinal axis;
each of said sleeves being positionable with its front end on a bone, into which the drilling tool is screwable, thereby passing through the interior of said sleeve, and at the rear end a stop surface for a stop of said drilling tool to rest thereon, said stop delimiting the depth to which said drilling tool penetrates said sleeve; and
means for adjusting the spacing between said stop surface and said front end of said sleeve, wherein;
said sleeve is of two-part design and includes a bearing part and an adjusting part, in that said bearing part carries said front end and said adjusting part carries said stop surface, and in that said bearing part and said adjusting part are screwed to each other in such a way that the spacing between said stop surface and said front end of said sleeve is adjustable by turning said adjusting part in relation to said bearing part.

Abstract
A drilling jig for surgical drilling tools is disclosed. The drilling jig comprises two sleeves of identical design mounted alongside each other on a common holder, with each sleeve being mounted on the holder so as to be pivotable in relation to each other about an axis of rotation extending perpendicular to their respective longitudinal axes. Each sleeve is hollow to allow a drilling tool to pass through. At the rear end of each sleeve is a stop surface for the drilling tool to rest against, the stop surface delimiting the depth to which the drilling tool penetrates the sleeve. Each sleeve is of two-part design and includes a bearing part and an adjusting part, with the bearing part carrying the front end of the sleeve and the adjusting part carrying the stop surface. The bearing part and the adjusting part are threaded to each other in such a manner that the spacing between the stop surface and the front end of the sleeve is adjustable by turning the adjusting part in relation to the bearing part, which enables alteration of the effective length of the sleeve without removing the drilling tool.
