Tool and method for creating a perforation or cavity in a bone or bone structure in contact with a membrane, the tool including a drill having a free end and a channel adapted for supplying a liquid under pressure to the free end, the tool further including a source of the liquid under pressure such that the liquid flows partially into and through the bone or bone structure toward the membrane while drilling the bone or bone structure with the drill, which allows to perform a progressive detachment of the membrane when the drill is close to the membrane while still being inside the bone or bone structure, and before completely piercing the bone or bone structure.
Tool for creating a perforation or cavity in a bone or bone structure in contact with a membrane, said tool comprising a drill having a free end and a channel adapted for supplying a liquid under pressure to said free end, said tool further comprising a source of said liquid under pressure to enable said liquid to flow partially into and through the bone or bone structure toward the membrane while drilling the bone or bone structure with the drill, and to cause a progressive detachment of the membrane when the drill is close to the membrane while still being inside the bone or bone structure, and before completely piercing the bone or bone structure.
Method for creating a perforation or cavity in a bone or bone structure in contact with a membrane, the method comprising:
Kit of drills for creating a perforation or cavity in a bone or bone structure in contact with a membrane, said kit comprising a plurality of drills including a first drill and a second drill, each drill of said plurality of drills having a free end and a channel adapted for supplying a liquid under pressure to said free end, said channel having an inner diameter, each said drill being adapted for receiving an insert for supplying said liquid to said channel, wherein an outer diameter of said insert is smaller than an inner diameter of said channel, thus creating an open space between said insert and said channel for backflow of a portion of said liquid supplied to said channel;
