1-3. (canceled)
A coupler comprising:
- a drive hub having a first end and a second end including a recess configured to receive a driveshaft of a driver;
- where the first end of the drive hub is configured to be coupled to an intraosseous (IO) device to resist rotation of the IO device relative to the drive hub;
- and
- where the second end of the drive hub is configured such that if a driveshaft is inserted into the recess, an interference fit between the drive hub and the driveshaft will resist rotation of the drive hub relative to the driveshaft.

A coupler comprising:
- a drive hub having a first end and a second end configured to be coupled in fixed relation to a driveshaft of a driver;
- where the first end of the drive hub has a recess configured to receive a portion of an intraosseous (IO) device;
- and
- where the first end of the drive hub is configured such that if a portion of the IO device is inserted into the recess, an interference fit between the drive hub and the IO device will resist rotation of the IO device relative to the drive hub.

A coupler comprising:
- a drive hub having a first end and a second end including a recess configured to receive a driveshaft of a driver;
- and
- an adhesive disposed in the recess and configured to adhere to a driveshaft inserted into the recess;
- where the first end of the drive hub is configured to be coupled to an intraosseous (IO) device to resist rotation of the IO device relative to the drive hub;
- and
- where the recess has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the driveshaft such that if the driveshaft is inserted into the second recess, the drive hub will resist rotating relative to the driveshaft.
