An apparatus including a frame, where the frame includes a user handle, a motor receiving area, and a first aperture through the frame into the motor receiving area, where the motor receiving area is configured to removably receive a cannulated motor assembly therein; and a first seal located proximate the first aperture through the frame, where the first seal is configured to form a seal between the cannulated motor assembly and the frame when the cannulated motor assembly is in the motor receiving area.

Handheld surgical device having a rotating portion
11324529 · 2022-05-10 ·

A handheld surgical device with a working portion driven by a motor, wherein the working portion is contained in a concave-shaped portion when it is not activated, and the working portion becomes exposed from the concave-shaped portion when it is activated. The activation of the working portion can be controlled by a switch located at a handle portion of the handheld surgical device. The handheld surgical device includes a concave-shaped portion with a cutting edge, which is not driven by the motor.

SURGICAL IMPACT DRIVER ADAPTORS FOR APPLYING DIRECTED TORQUE AND LINEAR IMPACT LOADS DURING SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Surgical impact driver adaptors may be connected between a powered surgical instrument and a driven surgical device when performing surgical procedures, such as those involving the implantation of a surgical implant into bone, for example. During surgical procedures, the surgical impact driver adaptors may limit a transfer of a rotational force from the powered surgical instrument to the surgical device until a sufficient axial force is applied to the impact driver adaptor from the powered surgical instrument.

Method and apparatus to select vibration
11723673 · 2023-08-15 · ·

Disclosed is an assembly for holding a tool. The assembly may selectively reduce and/or eliminate vibrations received and felt by a user. Reducing vibrations may reduce or eliminate chatter at a working end of a tool.

Measurement module for measuring depth of bore holes and related accessories

A drill bit comprises a shank extending along an axis and an interface comprising at least one outermost drive portion spaced at a first interface distance from the axis. The drill bit further comprises a resilient arm extending from a proximal end of the shank. The resilient arm comprises an outer arm surface facing away from the axis and a retention surface facing toward a distal end of the shank. The retention surface may be radially aligned about the axis with respect to the outermost drive portion. The resilient arm is movable between: a first position where the outer arm surface is spaced from the axis at a first arm distance greater than the first interface distance, and a second position where the outer arm surface is spaced from the axis at a second arm distance less than or equal to the first interface distance.

Pressure Loaded Drive Control for Bone Resection

A drill assembly including a cutting tool slidably movable along a longitudinal axis of the drill assembly and drivable to cut an object. In an active configuration, a pressure loaded drive control assembly transfers energy from a motor to the cutting tool to drive the cutting tool. In an inactive configuration, the pressure loaded drive control assembly prevents energy transfer from the motor to the cutting tool. A biasing member of the pressure loaded drive control assembly is configured to bias the pressure loaded drive control assembly in the inactive configuration. Depressing the cutting tool against the object moves the cutting tool along the longitudinal axis and moves the pressure loaded drive control assembly to the active configuration. The biasing member returns the pressure loaded drive control assembly to the inactive configuration when the cutting tool is no longer depressed against the object.

Multiple Connection Drive Shaft
20230301664 · 2023-09-28 ·

Disclosed is a system to engage a plurality of tools. In the system a drive shaft and collet may be assembled to engage and disengage, selectively, a plurality of tools. User selection may allow use of a plurality of tools during a procedure or during a plurality of procedures.

Electric motor driven tool for orthopedic impacting
RE049666 · 2023-09-26 · ·

An orthopedic impacting tool comprises a motor, an energy storage chamber, a striker, and an anvil. The motor stores energy in the energy storage chamber and then releases it, causing the striker to apply a controlled force on an adapter to create a precise impact for use in a surgical setting. The tool may further comprise a combination anvil and adapter. The tool further allows forward or backward impacting for expanding the size or volume of the opening or for facilitating removal of a broach, implant, or other surgical implement from the opening. An energy adjustment control of the tool allows a surgeon to increase or decrease the impact energy. A light source and hand grips improve ease of operation of the tool.

Constant-torque intraosseous access devices and methods thereof

Constant-torque intraosseous access devices and methods thereof are disclosed. An intraosseous access device can include a constant-torque spring assembly disposed in a housing, a drive shaft extending from the housing, and an intraosseous needle coupled to the drive shaft configured to provide intraosseous access to a medullary cavity of a patient. A method of such an intraosseous access device can include inserting a distal end of the intraosseous needle through skin at an insertion site of a patient; applying force to bone at the insertion site with the distal end of the intraosseous needle, which starts winding a metal ribbon of the constant-torque spring assembly from an output spool onto a storage spool, thereby starting rotation of the intraosseous needle; and drilling through the bone until the intraosseous needle enters a medullary cavity of the patient, thereby achieving intraosseous access with the intraosseous access device.
