Why Higher Torque?

The Phasor HI-TORQ™ Drill System delivers a level of torque over 10x – higher than our prior bedside drills, with the ability to drill larger (14-mm) holes more efficiently. Single-use disposability allows a sterile, ready-to-use drill with quick-connect interchangeability. And of course it can come with the anti-plunging stopper capable of withstanding up to 50 pounds, already validated by 25,000+ uses worldwide. Each sterile, pre-assembled device arrives ready for immediate use: eliminating maintenance, sterilization delays, and variability associated with reusable systems.

For various surgeon-determined applications including:

Cranial burr hole drilling
Spine driving options
Trauma (including Subdural evacuation via burr holes)
Orthopedic fixation and K-wire drilling (with quick-connect and K-wire driver components, see Phasor ORTHO™)
Deep Brain Stimulation using frame- or frameless systems

HI-TORQ combines strength with smooth torque delivery, ensuring precise control even in high-resistance bone.

Engineered to Perform Controlled Power that Safely Delivers

In neurosurgical and orthopedic drilling, the right combination of speed, torque, power, affordability, safety, and convenience defines performance – particularly with larger holes and in harder bone. Through optimized design with our dedicated engineering team, Phasor Hi-Torq™ focuses upon effective and affordable results. Phasor has created a high-speed disposable cranial drill capable of forming larger burr holes in seconds rather than minutes. For hospitals and surgical teams requiring enhanced torque capacity, Phasor now offers multiple performance tiers.

Available models:

1.5X Torque Model: In end-2025, even cranial access kit-associated “routine cranial Phasor Drills” began the upgrade to 1.5X torque, with the same compact housing, to penetrate the tougher inner skull tables, leading the effort for larger holes and higher torque
Up to 12X Torque (HI-TORQ) Model: more effective for larger burr holes and harder bone, as detailed in this section.

These tiers deliver unparalleled strength while maintaining the tactile precision and can be coupled with the anti-plunging safety features of comparable Phasor devices. The AO universal quick-connect interface supports multiple sizes of bits, expanding versatility without compromising stability.

Performance Highlights:

Enhanced torque for denser cranial and extremity bone
Adjustable anti-plunge stopper for customizable depth control, tested to withstand at least 50 pounds of downward force without plunging
Consistent torque curve minimizes vibration and resistance
Sterile, single-use format ensures more consistent drill bit sharpness and reliability
100% factory testing in-house for functionality at manufacturing

This balance of power and finesse allows surgeons to complete challenging procedures efficiently, while maintaining the precise depth control and related safety synonymous with Phasor engineering.

Convenience: Single-Use Simplicity, Multi-Case Reliability

As a disposable electric cranial drill, HI-TORQ eliminates reprocessing, sterilization, and mechanical degradation concerns. Each drill is individually packaged, sterile, and ready to use, ensuring that every procedure begins with a new, uncompromised instrument.

Operational advantages, Quality Assurance, and Compliance with Testing:

Fixed per-case cost for predictable budgeting
Zero downtime between cases related to resterilization
Consistent torque and alignment performance
Ideal for trauma, ICU, and emergency procedures

This design supports reliable, repeatable performance in the most time-sensitive surgical settings.

Manufactured Reliably in the United States

All HI-TORQ drills undergo a similar rigorous validation process as Phasor’s many FDA-cleared products.

Phasor’s quality program ensures reliability, consistency, and performance across every HI-TORQ device used in the field.
