Device type (GMDN): Surgical instrument handle, torque-limiting

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to attach to the proximal end of a surgical instrument (e.g., a screwdriver shaft) to allow the surgeon to perform manipulations with the instrument, typically manual rotation of a bone screw or setscrew, whilst providing a torque-limiting function to ensure that the screw is not over tightened, during an orthopaedic procedure. The device is typically made of metal/synthetic material (e.g., polysulphone) and may have a T-shaped handle grip. It will normally provide an indication to the surgeon when the pre-set torque level is reached with an audible click and release of rotational traction. This is a reusable device.
