March 2024 NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE PHYSICIAN IS FIRST TO USE HUBLY DRILLEpisode SummaryMatthew Potts, MD, associate professor of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern Medicine, is the first physician in the U.S. to successfully use a Hubly Drill. This battery-powered cranial drill was developed by students at Northwestern University, and the first-ever procedure involving the Hubly drill took place at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in October 2023. The drill offers an alternative to hand-crank drills, which tend to plug and move around during drilling, affecting precision.
