Surgical power tool
Surgical power tools are motorised drills, saws, reamers and shavers that cut, shape and drill bone and hard tissue. They are used in orthopaedic, trauma, spine, neurosurgery, ENT, maxillofacial and arthroscopic surgery.
Common types
- Battery-powered system: cordless handpieces for drilling, reaming and sawing in orthopaedics and trauma.
- Electric console system: a control unit drives corded high-speed handpieces for neurosurgery, spine and ENT.
- Pneumatic system: handpieces powered by compressed medical air or nitrogen.
- Saws: oscillating, sagittal and reciprocating saws for bone cuts in joint replacement and trauma.
- Arthroscopic shaver and craniotome: dedicated handpieces for joint surgery and opening the skull.

- Handpiece types needed (drill, reamer, saw, craniotome, shaver) and their speed and torque
- Power source: battery, electric console or pneumatic, with number of batteries and chargers
- Attachments: chucks, Kirschner wire drivers, quick couplings, burrs and saw blades
- Sterilisation method for handpieces and whether batteries are sterilisable or use aseptic transfer
- Sterilisation cases and starter set of blades and burrs
- Charger power supply voltage and plug type
- Quantity, destination country and the delivery terms you want (for example EXW, FOB or CIF).
Documents to ask for
Buyers usually ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or the destination country's registration, ISO 13485 for the maker, test reports to IEC 60601-1 for the electrical parts, and validated reprocessing instructions for reusable handpieces.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Can the batteries be sterilised with the handpiece?
It depends on the system. Some batteries are sterilisable, while others are not and are placed into a sterile housing using an aseptic transfer kit, so confirm the method before ordering.
Send us the specification and quantity. We compare manufacturers in China and reply with options, lead times and the documents that come with each product. NJMC sources and checks; it does not manufacture.
