US 2016/0256171 A1 · DEVICE FOR INSTALLING AN IMPLANT AND A METHOD THEREOF

Abstract

A drill member assembly for making a blind hole in a bone under a soft tissue for installing an implant is disclosed. The drill member assembly includes a drill member and a second drill member. The drill member includes a stepped drill bit that includes a conical section, an intermediate section and a proximal section. The drill bit includes a conical width of a conical profile including an extrapolated outer surface of the conical section, an intermediate width of an intermediate profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the intermediate section and a proximal width of a proximal profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the proximal section. The conical width and/or intermediate width is smaller than the proximal width. The second drill member includes a drill head. The proximal profile comprising the proximal width is adapted to receive at least a part of first section of the drill head of the second drill member.

A drill member assembly for making a blind hole in a bone under a soft tissue for installing an implant, the drill member assembly comprising a drill member and a second drill member wherein the drill member comprising a stepped drill bit comprising a conical section, an intermediate section and a proximal section such that

a conical width of a conical profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the conical section and/or an intermediate width of an intermediate profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the intermediate section is smaller than a proximal width of a proximal profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the proximal section, and
the second drill member comprising a drill head, wherein
the proximal profile comprising the proximal width is adapted to receive at least a part of a first section of the drill head of the second drill member.

A drill kit for making a blind hole in a bone under a soft tissue for installing an implant, the kit comprising at least one stepped drill member and at least one second drill member, wherein

each stepped drill member comprises a stepped drill bit comprising a conical section, an intermediate section and a proximal section such that a conical width of a conical profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the conical section and/or an intermediate width of an intermediate profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the intermediate section is smaller than a proximal width of a proximal profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the proximal section, and
each second drill member comprises a drill head comprising a first section comprising a first width such that at least a part of a first section of a drill head of one of the at least one second drill member is adapted to be received in the proximal width of one of the at least one stepped drill member.

A method for making a blind hole in a bone under a soft tissue for installing an implant, the method comprising

inserting a stepped drill member into an incision hole available in a soft tissue;
drilling a preliminary hole in a bone tissue, using the inserted drill member comprising a stepped drill bit such that the preliminary hole comprises a conical width of a conical profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of a conical section of the stepped drill bit, an intermediate width of an intermediate profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the intermediate section of the stepped drill bit and a proximal width of a proximal profile comprising an extrapolated outer surface of the proximal section of the stepped drill bit, the conical width and/or intermediate width being smaller than the proximal width;
removing the inserted drill member;
positioning at least a part of a first section of a second drill member within the proximal profile;
drilling, using the second drill member, to make a blind hole in a bone tissue by widening the preliminary hole;
and
anchoring the implant in the blind hole.
