Handheld devices for use in medical procedures

A system for a bone implant fixation procedure, the system comprising:

• a device comprising:
• an awl-tap member, the awl-tap member comprising an electrically conductive body including a distal tip at a distal end thereof for penetrating bone, wherein the awl-tap member is configured to deliver electrical current to the bone and the electrical current is used for the determination of the presence of a nerve adjacent or in proximity to one or more portions of the awl-tap member;
• a depth sleeve member comprising an elongate body including a lumen extending therethrough and having a distal end, wherein at least a portion of the awl-tap member is received within the lumen and wherein the depth sleeve member and awl-tap member are configured to move independent of one another;
• and
• a sensor operably associated with the depth sleeve member and configured to detect movement of the depth sleeve member relative to the awl-tap member and to generate an electronic signal indicative of a depth of a hole created by the awl-tap member based on the detected movement;
• and
• a neuromonitoring device configured to communicate with at least the awl-tap member, the neuromonitoring device configured to receive the electrical current delivered from the awl-tap member and through the bone and determine the presence of a nerve adjacent or in proximity to one or more portions of the awl-tap member.
