Abstract: A surgical drill chuck key comprising an elongated body of a cylindrical construction having a smooth rounded surface. A key gear located at a first distal end of the elongated body having a plurality of gear teeth with radiused knuckles. A handle having an elongated shaft being constructed and arranged so that no sharp edges are provided on the handle. The elongated shaft having a curved J-shape wherein a first portion of the elongated shaft is directed back towards the elongated body in a generally parallel arrangement to a second portion of the elongated shaft extending radially outward from the elongated body so that the first portion and the second portion of the elongated shaft cooperate to provide a thumb grip for increased leverage when turning the key. The elongated body, gear teeth, and handle being finished through an abrasive bead blasting process to round off all edges and surfaces.

Abstract: A surgical drill chuck comprising a main body of elongated cylindrical construction having intersecting main body end and main body side surfaces. A plurality of movable jaws of elongated cylindrical construction carried by the main body having intersecting jaw end and jaw side surfaces. A sleeve of elongated cylindrical construction carried circumferentially on the main body being operatively associated with the jaws for extending and retracting the jaws when the sleeve is rotated. The sleeve having intersecting sleeve end and sleeve side surfaces. Radiused corners provided at the intersection of the main body end and main body side surfaces, jaw end and jaw side surfaces, and sleeve end and sleeve side surfaces so that a surgical drill chuck is provided with no sharp edges to prevent snagging, tearing or puncturing surgical latex gloves while handling the chuck during surgical operations.
