Surgical Drill, Trephines, Drill Bits, Bone Screws, Dental Cement and Bone Wax

Microdialysis probes, intracerebral guide cannula, electrodes or similar devices should be mounted through a clean, straight-edged hole in the skull. Bone Screws, & Dental Cement permit secure mounting of these devices to the skull. The two part acrylic cement (MD-1300) is the cost effective way to secure these devices in place. One kit will provide sufficient material to prepare up to 8 implants. Bone wax (MR-5309) serves to stop or retard bleeding from the bone. It can be a useful tool during stereotaxic surgery to seal the left over holes on the skull after intracerebral injections.

Rat Trephine Bone Drill Bit:
A trephine bone drill bit MF-5176 is the recommended cutting tool. The skull does not shatter and no bone shards are deposited on underlying brain tissue. It cuts a 1.8 mm circle. The shank is 2.35 mm (3/32”)

Mouse Bone Drill Bit:
For the fragile mouse skull, we suggest the smaller MD-1360  bone drill bits, which drill a 1.2 mm hole. The shank is 2.35 mm (3/32”)

Drill Bit for Mounting / Anchoring Bone Screws (rat and mouse):
MF-5362 bone drill bits should be used to drill holes for mounting anchoring / bone screws MF-5182 and MD-1310 . They drill a 0.8 mm hole. The shank is 2.35 mm (3/32”)

Mounting / Anchoring Bone Screws:
MF-5182 bone screw is recommended for rats
MD-1310 bone screw is self-tapping and is recommended for both rats and mice

Surgical Drill:
The powered surgical drill MF-5360 can be used with the MF-5176, MD-1360 and MF-5362 bone drill bits.  The surgical drill is generally compatible with all standard bone drill bits and accepts a shank of ~2.3-2.4 mm.
