Microdrill

Cat No.: RWD-78001 Description

The RWD-78001 Microdrill is a precision, high-speed cranial drilling system engineered for stereotaxic brain surgery and neuroscience research in small animal models. Designed for both handheld and fixed operation, this microdrill enables rapid, controlled, and reproducible creation of cranial openings for the implantation of injection needles, electrode sleeves, microdialysis catheters, and other devices required in advanced neurobiological studies.
 

Specifications

• High-Speed Performance:
  Variable speed up to 35,000 rpm for efficient and precise skull drilling.

• Bidirectional Operation:
  Forward and reverse rotation modes available for versatile surgical applications.

• Flexible Mounting:
  Can be used as a handheld device or mounted on a stereotaxic instrument using the microdrill holder (Model: 68605), with manipulation via manual control or foot pedal.

• Drill Bit Compatibility:
  Supports a range of drill bits (diameters: 0.5-1.0 mm), including round and flat tip options for different surgical needs (bits sold separately; see compatible models: 78041, 78042, 78043, 78060).

• Precise Control:
  Offers manual and foot pedal operation for user preference and procedural accuracy.

Applications

• Stereotaxic Neurosurgery:
  Enables precise perforation of the skull for targeted delivery and implantation of research tools in rodent brain studies.

• Implantation Procedures:
  Facilitates the secure and reproducible placement of injection needles, electrodes, and microdialysis catheters.

• Versatility:
  Suitable for both acute and chronic experimental protocols requiring cranial access.
