The company representative was supporting a seeg surgery.On the first trajectory of the case, the surgeon was drilling with a 2.4mm drill in a 2.45mm drill guide (mt-02-161 s16006) and the bone was about 8mm thick.Before he even got through the bone, the drill bit fused in the drill guide and broke.The drill guide with the drill bit that was stuck was removed from the instrument holder and another drill guide was used for the remainder of the case.The drill guide was soaked in cool saline, but the drill bit could not be removed.This did not delay the case because the hospital had a second drill guide already on the sterile field.
