Abstract: A fixator pin with a removable drill bit configured for simultaneously drilling a hole into bone for a fixator pin and threading or installing the fixator pin into the hole. The drill bit portion is joined to the external fixator pin via a separable connection configured as a cut-off, a frangible connection, brittle snap section, or threaded connection. The frangible connection includes at least one feature formed through an outer surface of the frangible connection. The frangible connection is configured to promote the selective separation of the drill bit from the fixator portion at the feature, which may not be separated in the case of an intramedullary pin or nail.

Abstract: Disclosed is a plunger including, in combination, a handle, a plunger bell with an inner bell surface, and an elongated tubular sheath, wherein the sheath at least substantially encases the handle and plunger bell, and the sheath is at least partially secured to the inner bell surface.
