The drill guide has an aimer arm extending from the body of the drill guide which has a fixed angle with respect to a drill sleeve inserted through the guide. The aimer arm can move up or down relative to the drill sleeve while maintaining the fixed angle relative to the drill sleeve by actuation of a translation member on the body.

Abstract: Described is a hand suspension fixture for recovering from skin grafts on human hands. The hand suspension fixture generally comprises five retention fixtures each adapted to connect to one of five flexible members at a first end. At a second end, each of the five flexible members can be attached to a distal end of five respective human finger tips, such as the finger's distal digits. The human hand is adapted to hang from the five flexible members whereby the five retention fixtures are spaced apart to splay the five fingers (thumb included) when the human hand is hanging from the suspension fixture.
