[An instrument for intraosseous punctures]

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic surgery
• Surgical instrumentation
• Biomedical engineering

Context:

• Bone marrow access is crucial for diagnostics and therapeutics.
• Current methods for creating intraosseous access can be invasive and time-consuming.
• The need for efficient and safe bone perforation tools is significant.

Purpose:

• To introduce and describe a novel intraosseous paracentesis tool.
• To detail the techniques and procedures for using the needle-screw device.
• To evaluate the efficacy of this new tool compared to existing methods.

Summary:

• The paper presents an intraosseous paracentesis tool, a hybrid needle-screw device combining drilling and hollow tube functionalities.
• Techniques for bone paracentesis using this device are described.
• Comparative analysis indicates the needle-screw device offers superior performance in forming perforations for osseous injury examination.

Impact:

• This innovation may enhance the efficiency and safety of bone access procedures.
• The needle-screw device could become a valuable tool in orthopedic and trauma surgery.
• Improved bone paracentesis techniques can lead to better patient outcomes in diagnosing and treating osseous conditions.
