A medical drill bit comprises an accommodating slot disposed concavely on a main body of the medical drill bit, a separate board disposed in the accommodating slot to separate the accommodating slot into a first slot and a second slot, and a lid engaging with the separate board and covering the accommodating slot. The lid and the separate board do not rotate with the main body when the main body in rotation. The accommodating uses to fill with cooling liquid which able to be pumped out from the accommodating slot, and fresh cooling liquid is able to inject into the accommodating slot for cooling the drill bit in rotation.

An internally sealable wire includes an elongate flexible body having a length and a plurality of electrically conductive strands disposed within an insulation jacket. The body includes an unsealed portion extending along a majority of the length of the body and at least one sealed portion positioned at a point along the length of the body. The unsealed portion includes open internal spaces defined between the strands and the insulation jacket, and the at least one sealed portion includes a filler material disposed within the internal spaces to effect a seal within the body and prevent the passage of fluid through the wire.

Disposable torque-limiting devices having an upper shank component with a torque-limiting interface, a lower shank component with a torque-limiting interface, and a spring element. Torque-limiting interfaces having a plurality of undulations arranged around an axial bore or drive socket and separated by a plurality of transition regions, with each undulation having an upslope, a peak, and a downslope. The torque-limiting interfaces are configured to engage and disengage to provide torque transmission with predetermined torque limits at various rotational speeds and for amounts of actuations while remaining within a specified operational range. The encasement provides mounts for a tool and for a drive shaft which may be connected to a powered device.

Described herein is combination sealing and stabilizing collar component designed to both prevent the leakage of vacuum through the interface between an endoscopic shaver device and a powered handpiece that provides rotational motion thereto and stabilize the endoscopic shaver device when it is mounted onto the powered handpiece. The collar may be further coupled with a conventional cannula to prevent the leakage of intra-articular fluid when performing an arthroscopic procedure.

Provided is an osteotome handpiece that may be driven by compressed gas. In an embodiment, a spherical piston may be movable inside a cylinder having a liner, which may be made of a low-friction material such as a fluoropolymer. The spherical piston may impact a blade holder that transmits force to a blade. A piston return spring may be provided, along with a piston washer to avoid any possible outward deformation of the spring. The blade holder may be retained by a split and threaded retaining collar. Single-stroke or multi-stroke operation may be chosen by the user. The device has long-operating low-maintenance advantages.

Medical devices for creating or expanding a cavity within bone of a patient are disclosed. In some circumstances, a medical device, such as an osteotome is designed to facilitate simultaneous advancement and articulation of a distal portion of the osteotome. Simultaneous advancement and articulation of the distal portion may reduce one or more forces on the distal portion of the osteotome relative to other methods in which advancement and articulation are separated in time, thereby decreasing the risk of breakage or other damage to the osteotome.

Apparatus for use in debriding a bone, said apparatus comprising:

an arthroscopic debridement template comprising a body reconfigurable between (i) a first configuration having a first profile and comprising an arc matching the desired curvature of the bone after debridement, and (ii) a second configuration having a second profile, wherein said second profile is smaller than said first profile.

The present invention provides a medical burr comprising: a rotating unit that is formed to have a smaller diameter than a guide that extends long forward in a medical cutting instrument, and rotates while extending inside the guide; and a cutting unit formed at the tip of the rotating unit, and further comprising a guide protector that surrounds the exposed portion of the burr.

A system to be used for transmitting ultrasonic vibration, the system including a sonotrode designed to vibrate in a stationary wave having at least one node position between the distal end and the proximal end of the sonotrode, and a guide shaft with a through opening. During operation the sonotrode extends through the through opening of the guide shaft and the distal end of the guide shaft is situated on a distal side of the most distal node position of the sonotrode. The sonotrode and the guide shaft are adapted to each other for radial clearance between the sonotrode and the guide shaft to be a minimum for a sonotrode portion comprising the most distal node position.

An orthopedic reamer connector includes a base shaped to allow for connection of an orthopedic reamer having a connection surface and being configured to rotatably connect to a rotary actuator; two pairs of holders associated with the connection surface that each have a first holder and a second holder that forms an acute angle relative to said first holder. The first holders are opposed to each other by about 180 degrees and the second holders are opposed to each other by about 180 degrees. A pair of stops are associated with each of the two pairs of holders. Each pair of stops has a first stop associated with the first holder and a second stop associated with the second holder.
