SURGICAL INSTRUMENT FOR DRILLING
The present disclosure is in the field of surgical instrument, in particular drills used by surgeons and or dentist, or surgical robots. It is known that a motor generates a torque during rotating accelerations and decelerations. Accelerations and sharp brakes from powerful motors also generate torques to be countered by the surgeon wrist, or the robot chassis. In order to solve this problem, there is proposed a surgical power motor. The motor is made of two rotating parts, rotating in opposed directions, and further includes an inverter to link one rotating part with the other rotating part, each rotating part producing the similar acceleration torque and at least one being powered either by an electric or pneumatic source.
MEDICAL HANDLE WITH PNEUMATIC SAFETY COUPLING
A medical handle for pneumatically or hydraulically driven medical instruments or motor units includes a clutch member for mechanical and pneumatic/hydraulic coupling of a corresponding clutch member and a manually operable valve mechanism for selective pressurization of a medical instrument coupled thereto or the motor unit thereof, the valve mechanism being provided with a safety device for preventing pressurization in the case of an uncoupled medical instrument or the motor unit thereof. The clutch member present on the side of the handle is provided to interact with the valve mechanism such that during or by the mechanical coupling operation the latter is automatically opened and/or enabled for manual opening, whereas in the uncoupled state the valve mechanism is closed and/or enabling is cancelled.
MEDICAL HANDPIECE HAVING ATTACHABLE SPRAY, SUCTION AND DRILL UNITS
Provided is a medical handpiece having liquid spray and suction functions and capable of being replaced with a drill. The medical handpiece includes a handpiece body having an accommodation space therein, a spray unit receiving liquid from an outside to spray the liquid onto a target to be treated, a pump unit transmitting air pressure to the spray unit to increase a spray speed of liquid sprayed by the spray unit, a drive unit converting a rotary motion into a reciprocating motion to transmit power to the pump unit, and a suction unit sucking liquid and foreign matter from the target to be treated.
Portable device and method of supplying power to a portable device
A portable device and method of supplying power to the portable device may provide a sterile environment that may protect the health and safety of patients on whom the device is employed. The portable device may be charged inside of the sterile environment. The portable device may be charged using at least one chargeable battery that may be arranged internal and/or external to a portion of the portable device, or internal and/or external to the portable device. A power supply may be connected to the at least one chargeable battery and power the portable device for use. The portable device may be charged up to 100% and/or or fully charged prior to opening the sterile environment.
SURGICAL HANDPIECE HAVING MAGAZINE-TYPE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MODULE
A surgical handpiece comprises, in the form of a magazine, electronic components composed of a printed circuit board mounted on a hand grip part of the handpiece and various sensor modules provided on the printed circuit board, and the surgical handpiece is easy to maintain since the repair thereof is completed by replacing a magazine. The surgical handpiece comprises a pistol-shaped housing composed of the hand grip and a motor housing integrally formed on the top of the hand grip, wherein the hand grip comprises a grip body and a magazine groove which is formed inside the grip body and into which the magazine-type electronic component module is inserted and mounted.
SURGICAL TOOL
A battery pack for a use with a powered surgical tool. The battery pack may include a housing with an outer wall and opposing first and second ends. The housing may include an elongated shape that extends between the first and second ends. A first member may extend across the first end of the housing and include a first aperture, and a second end member may extend across the second end of the housing and may include a second aperture. A passage may extend through the housing with a first end that aligns with the first aperture and a second end that aligns with the second aperture. The housing may be sized for a plurality of storage locations positioned between the first and second members and around the passage, and each of the storage locations may be configured to store a power cell.
Navigated surgical system
A surgical system including a surgical tool and a navigation system for tracking the position of the surgical tool. The surgical tool comprising a housing including a variable speed motor and control module disposed within the housing. The navigation system comprising a navigation console in communication with the control module of the surgical tool, the navigation console may be configured to communicate instructions to the control module of the surgical tool based on the position of the surgical tool relative to a defined zone. The navigation console may be configured to deactivate the surgical tool based on the position of the surgical tool relative to the defined zone. The navigation console may also be configured to provide a user-selectable override option to allow continued operation of the surgical tool within the defined zone.
Swivel knuckle connection
A swivel knuckle assembly for interconnecting a motor and a supply line. The knuckle assembly may include a bearing member to reduce a coefficient of friction. A locking mechanism is disclosed to connect members of the knuckle assembly.
Methods for creating a void within a bone
Methods for creating a void within a bone. An elongate member is directed into a tube of an access cannula, and a handle is positioned adjacent the access cannula. A working tip and pre-bent elbow are disposed within the tube such that the pre-bent elbow is straightened. The device remains slidable relative to the access cannula. A control assembly is actuated to distally move the shaft relative to the handle. Bone adjacent the tube of the access cannula may resist the working tip from protruding from the access cannula so as to displace the handle of the device proximally, or the handle may be manually maintained adjacent the access cannula. The pre-bent elbow and the working tip are moved beyond the distal end of the tube to be freed from the constraint of the tube of the access cannula to assume a curve within the bone.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENT MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM
A C-arm, or a mobile intensifier device, is one example of a medical imaging device that is based on X-ray technology. Because a C-arm device can display high-resolution X-ray images in real time, a physician can monitor progress at any time during an operation, and thus can take appropriate actions based on the displayed images. Monitoring the images, however, is often challenging during certain procedures, for instance during procedures in which attention must be paid to the patient's anatomy as well as a medical imaging device display. In an example, a surgical instrument assembly includes a processor, a surgical instrument configured to operate on an anatomical structure, and a display coupled to the processor and attached to the surgical instrument. The display can be configured to display visual information comprising X-ray images generated by a medical imaging device, depth gauge information generated by a depth gauge coupled to the surgical instrument, and trajectory information associated with various intramedullary nailing operations.
