Pedicle screw fixation is a popular method of fixation of the spine. Placement of screw and prevention of injury are surgeon dependent. We describe an easily made drill sleeve and depth gauge to assist in the preparation of the vertebral pedicle for pedicle screw application. Use of this device will help prevent soft tissue injury and overpenetration of the drill in the vertebral body.
