CAMTA Innovates

CAMTA surgeons test a “drill cover” which allows regular drills to be used in surgery. Arbutus Medical, makers of the cover, donated one to CAMTA. The covers can be sterilized and used up to 80 times. This cost saving innovation is particularly important in countries where medical budgets are extremely tight.
