Abstract

A new craniotomy tool is described. The original De Martell drill was redesigned into a hole-saw for simultaneous production of burr-holes and appropriate autologous bone plugs. The plugs can easily be reinserted and locked in place using bone dust and Tiseel glue permitting appropriate healing and satisfactory cosmetic appearance.
