Zusammenfassung:A surgical guide production apparatus and accessories are provided to simplify the process of using the production apparatus within the surgical environment. A cutting attachment is provided for use on a surgical guide production apparatus. The cutting attachment comprises a cutting element, a connector for connecting the cutting element to a drive mechanism of the surgical guide production apparatus so that the cutting element can be driven by the drive mechanism to modify an impression of a surgical site to produce a surgical guide, and a protective barrier. The protective barrier is configured to be positioned around the cutting element to surround a cutting area to help prevent contaminants from entering or leaving the cutting area during modification of the impression.
