Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and devices provide for a bone centering drill guide. The bone centering drill guide may include a clamping mechanism which clamps to a bone in a pivotable fashion. The proximal end of the clamping mechanism includes a handle portion having a first arm and a second arm which is configured to allow a user to grip the device and exert force which urges the first and second arms toward each other. The distal end includes a clamping portion having first and second arms which are urged into a closed configuration when closing force is provided to the handle portion. The proximal end may further include a locking mechanism which locks the clamping device in a clamped configuration. The bone centering drill guide may further include a guide slot disposed on the distal end above the clamping arms, the slot configured to remain centered between the first and second clamping arms.
