Abstract
A surgical bone drill for drilling into bones. The surgical bone drill includes a housing, a drill bit that includes a bit proximal portion that is mounted within the housing, and a bit distal portion that extends distally from the housing and includes a cutting tip. The surgical bone drill includes a depth limiter that has a distal end positioned adjacent the bit distal portion. A location of the depth limiter is adjustable with respect to the housing to select an exposed length of the bit distal portion that is exposed beyond the depth limiter, thereby limiting a depth that the drill bit can drill into the bone. The surgical bone drill includes a drive mechanism disposed within the housing and operably connected with the bit proximal portion of the drill bit to rotate the drill bit to cause the drill to drill into the bone.
