ABSTRACT:
A surgical drill is disclosed which includes an electric motor and an elongate tubular support sleeve. A drill bur is mounted so as to extend through the support sleeve and extend outwardly from the free end thereof, and the bur includes a shaft which mounts a plastic sleeve bearing for relative rotation therewith. The bearing contacts the internal bore of the support sleeve, so as to provide a seal therebetween which prevents the passage of debris past the bearing and into the support sleeve. Also, a portion of the plastic sleeve bearing is visible during use, and the bearing includes a distinctive color which is correlated to the particular configuration or size of the cutting tip of the bur, to thereby facilitate its identification during use of the drill.
