A retention assembly for connecting a base to a tool having a shaft includes a shaft engagement socket defining a shaft receptacle configured to receive the shaft; a retainer configured to secure the shaft to the shaft engagement socket, the retainer having a body with an opening that can receive the shaft; and at least one finger extending from the body, defining a sliding surface, and being configured to contact the shaft. The sliding surface can contact a ramp on the shaft retainer socket, and the retainer can translate relative to the shaft engagement socket, such that when it is translated toward the shaft engagement socket, the sliding surface slides along the ramp and causes the finger to move away from the shaft, and when the retainer is translated away from the shaft engagement socket, the sliding surface slides along the ramp and causes the finger to move towards the shaft.

Provided is a medical device comprising an adaptor having a slot and screw arrangement, the adaptor configured to be connectable to a handpiece; and an extension tube configured to be partially received within the adaptor, the extension tube configured to receive a drive shaft of a working member, wherein the slot and screw arrangement of the adaptor is configured to adjustably lock the extension tube along the drive shaft of the working member. The medical device further comprises a locking ring having one or more slots, the locking ring configured to receive a portion of a handpiece, wherein the one or more slots of the locking ring is configured to work together with a locking pin to lock and secure the drive shaft of the working member.

Methods and systems of placing a medical fastener at a predetermined depth in a bone are described. A surgical tool can include an attachment assembly configured to interchangeably engage a medical fastener and a cutting element or bone removal tool and a drive assembly coupled to the attachment assembly. The attachment assembly can be configured to automatically release the medical fastener in response to the drive assembly reaching its end or distal-most position to place the medical fastener at a predetermined depth within the bone.

A cylindrical shaft may be gripped with an apparatus including a housing having an axis and an inner surface with multiple asymmetric cam surfaces, a proximal end including a means to rotate the housing, and a distal end having an opening configured to receive the cylindrical shaft, at least two cylindrical gripping members configured to grip the cylindrical shaft, where each cylindrical gripping member contacts a corresponding asymmetric cam surface at a first rest position, and a rotatable frame which holds each pair of cylindrical gripping members at a fixed angular orientation relative to each other. The rotatable frame is configured to rotate upon insertion of the cylindrical shaft into a space defined by the gripping members so that each gripping member moves away from the axis of the housing along a first portion of the corresponding asymmetric cam surface. After insertion of the cylindrical shaft, the housing is configured to rotate so as to cause each gripping member to move toward the axis of the housing along the corresponding asymmetric cam surface.

Disclosed herein are orthopedic impact tools and methods of use thereof. The orthopedic impact tools can include a housing, a tube assembly, a reverse impact plate, an anvil and an impact mechanism. The housing can include a hand grip portion and an impact mechanism housing portion. The tube assembly can include a first tube portion and a second tube portion. The reverse impact plate can be disposed in between the first tube portion and the second tube portion. The anvil can include a forward impact surface. The impact mechanism can include a motor, a piston, a ram, and a rotary to linear conversion mechanism drivingly connecting the motor to the piston. The piston can be disposed within the first tube portion and the ram can be disposed in the second tube portion and movable into contact between the reverse impact plate and the forward impact surface.

Disclosed herein are rotary electric surgical hammer impact tools and methods of use thereof. The rotary electric surgical hammer impact tools can include a too body, a motor located within the tool body, a shaft operatively couple to the motor, a disk hammer element, and a tool holder element. The disk hammer element can be connected to the shaft and include a radial impact projection. The tool holder element can include a shaft configured to support an implement at one end and a C-shaped structure straddling the disk hammer element. Axial movement within the tool body can cause the radial impact projection to impart impacts to the tool holder element.

An intraosseous access system, including an access assembly having a needle configured to drill into bone via rotation of the needle and a driver. The driver can include a housing, a power converter configured to impart rotational power to the needle, a first power source coupled to the power converter, and a second power source selectively coupleable to the power converter, where the second power source is configured to be disposed at least partially external to the housing. A method of drilling through a bone includes providing the intraosseous access system, applying rotational power to the needle, and placing the needle in contact with the bone. The method can further include coupling the second power source to the power converter so that power from the second power source is combined with power from the first energy source.

A surgical handpiece system for performing measurement functions and surgical operations. The system includes a handpiece assembly. The handpiece has a handpiece housing and a drive cannula rotatably coupled to the handpiece housing. The drive cannula extends along an axis and is configured to receive torque from a motor. A surgical attachment module has an attachment housing removably coupleable to the handpiece housing. The surgical attachment module has a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the surgical attachment housing and configured to receive torque from the drive cannula to operate an end effector. A measurement module has a measurement housing removably coupleable to the handpiece housing. The measurement module is configured to perform measurement functions associated with operation of the handpiece assembly.

A system including includes an intraosseous needle and a handle. The intraosseous needle includes a distal end configured for insertion into a bone and a proximal end configured to extend from the bone. The handle is configured to releasably engage the intraosseous needle. The handle includes a cylindrical body portion, a handle portion, and a channel. The cylindrical body portion includes a distal end configured to receive the proximal end of the intraosseous needle. The handle portion extends from the cylindrical body portion and has a bulb-like cross-sectional shape and opposing first and second substantially planar surfaces. The channel is configured to receive the proximal end of the intraosseous needle.

A surgical system which may include a controller, a data entry device, a powered surgical handpiece and a surgical tool adapted to couple to the surgical handpiece. The surgical handpiece can include motor direction control and feedback, safety stop features, stimulation and nerve integrity monitoring, a tool connector assembly configured to retain a variety of surgical tools and optional navigation and/or electric ratcheting features.
