An irrigation sleeve, for use with a surgical system that comprises an irrigation source and a surgical tool having a tube to support a cutting accessory having a head, in turn comprises a body extending between proximal and distal ends. A first lumen formed in the body receives the tube. The head is adjacent the distal end. A second lumen formed in the body is spaced from the first lumen and comprises proximal and distal regions thereof. The proximal region of the second lumen extends from an inlet for fluid communication with the source, to a transition. The distal region of the second lumen is spaced out of fluid communication with the first lumen and extends from the transition to an outlet to direct fluid adjacent to the head.

An expandable reamer includes, inter alia, an outer tube, an inner shaft, a movable blade, and an actuator assembly. The expandable reamers can be used to remove diseased bone.

A surgical handpiece system for use with a drill bit having an identification feature that includes magnetic material. A handpiece transfers torque to the drill bit to rotate the drill bit. A measurement module that includes a housing is coupled to the handpiece. A measurement cannula made of a non-magnetic material surrounds the drill bit during operation. The measurement cannula extends forward or rearward relative to the housing and has a distal end adapted for placement against a workpiece. A transducer assembly generates a transducer signal based on a position of the measurement cannula relative to the housing. A sensor generates an identification signal responsive to a magnetic field or magnetoresistance of the identification feature of the drill bit through the measurement cannula during operation. A controller receives the identification signal and identifies the coupled drill bit corresponding to the received identification signal.

A surgical tool for removing tissue from a body organ which includes an axially extending outer shell and an axially extending actuator. The outer shell includes a steerable region and the actuator is arranged to flex and extend the steerable region about at least two axes that are transverse to each other.

An electrostatic atomization ultrasonic aided low-damage and controllable biologic bone grinding process and device, which solve the problem of debris blockage and have good cooling effect and high operation efficiency. The device includes: a spindle, arranged rotatably; a water-catching grinding tool for grinding a biologic bone, the spindle being connected with the tool through an ultrasonic vibration mechanism, the tool achieving longitudinal and rotary motions under the drive of the spindle and mechanism; a cooling and film forming mechanism on one side of the tool and connected with an ultrasonic generator in the mechanism, a nozzle connected with a medical nano liquid storage cup arranged at the bottom, compressed gas capable of being introduced into the nozzle to perform pneumatic-ultrasonic atomization on a medical nanofluid, the nanofluid being flushed into a grinding zone in droplets for effective cooling and lubrication; and an endoscope on the other side of the tool.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument, in particular a milling cutter, including: an inner rod extended along an own longitudinal axis and provided with an attachment end to a motorized member; a tubular envelope wrapping the inner rod; an operating head at a rod end which is opposite said attachment end; a gimbal joint between the rod end and a tool of said operating head such that said tool is extended along an angled axis with respect to the longitudinal axis. The milling cutter according to the invention improves the precision of execution of the positions of the holes in any surgical operation with anatomy which is difficult to get access to, such as in knee, pelvis and ankle.

Embodiments of bone and tissue resection devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a device can include a stationary assembly having a housing, an elongated sleeve extending distally from the housing, and a cutting region disposed distal to the sleeve. The device can further include a drive assembly having a blade shaft extending through the elongated sleeve, the blade shaft having a distal tip with a cutting surface configured to extend into the cutting region when the drive assembly advances distally relative to the stationary assembly. The drive assembly can further include an oscillator coupled to the blade shaft and configured to engage with a source of continuous rotational motion to convert the continuous rotational motion into oscillating motion of the drive shaft. Further, the drive assembly can be configured to slidably couple to the stationary assembly to permit selective translation of the drive assembly relative to the stationary assembly.

A bone screw extraction device includes a shaft extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal tip, a distal portion of the shaft including a tissue-receiving cavity extending proximally thereinto from the distal tip, the distal tip including a plurality of fingers configured to be received within a driving recess of a bone screw and a plurality of channels extending longitudinally along an exterior surface of the distal portion, each of the plurality of channels extending between adjacent ones of the plurality of fingers.

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 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.
