Systems and devices may include an anvil configured to be operatively coupled to an implement. Systems and devices may include an impaction cam operatively coupled to the driveshaft, wherein: the impaction cam, when in an impaction position, is configured to strike the anvil when driven by the driveshaft in the first direction to drive the anvil in an impaction direction. Systems and devices may include a retractor configured to be driven by the retraction cam in the second direction, wherein the retractor is configured to strike the anvil to drive the anvil in a retraction direction.

An instrument comprising a body comprising a distal end spaced apart from a proximal end relative to a longitudinal axis and a handle coupling located near the proximal end, the body defining a channel miming between the distal end to the proximal end; a drive comprising a first connector located adjacent the distal end and adapted to be connected to a driven instrument, a second connector located adjacent the proximal end and adapted to be connected to a driving instrument, and a drive shaft arranged in the channel, the drive shaft coupling the second connector to the first connector; and an adjustable handle located near the distal end, the adjustable handle comprising a grip spacing apart a leading end from a trailing end along a handle axis, the leading end coupling the handle to the handle coupling, the trailing end shaped to define an impaction plate; wherein the adjustable handle is arrangeable relative to the body in a first and a second position, in the first position the leading end is arranged relative to the handle coupling such that the handle axis is offset relative to the longitudinal axis, and in the second position the leading end is arranged relative to the handle coupling such that the handle axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis.

An electrically driven orthopedic impactor may include an adapter for interfacing between the orthopedic impactor and a surgical implement. The adapter may have a first surface that transmits a forward impact energy and a second surface that transmits a reverse impact energy. The adapter can connect to the surgical implement and to the orthopedic impactor without the use of external tools. The adapter may connect to the orthopedic impactor via a pushing motion and may disconnect from the orthopedic impactor via a reciprocal sleeve. A sensor can communicate a spatial orientation of the adapter with respect to at least one reference point that is not located on the adapter or the orthopedic impactor. A communication device may transmit information to the orthopedic impactor related to frequency or impact energy settings based on a type of surgical implement attached to the adapter.

An impactor and methods of operation of an impactor. The impactor includes an electromagnetic component having a stationary electromagnetic housing and a moving armature component. The housing includes a coil that receives an electric current resulting in generation of an electromagnetic field for triggering translation of the armature within the housing. The impactor includes a striker body coupled to the armature. The striker body includes a distal end. The impactor includes a strike chamber having an interior and a distal strike wall disposed at a distal end of the chamber, and a spacer disposed at a proximal end of the chamber and opposite the distal strike wall. The electromagnetic field forces the armature and the striker body to translate in at least one direction. Translation of the armature causes the distal end of the striker body to strike at least one of the distal strike wall and the spacer.

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.

A handheld surgical instrument comprising an energy storage element, wherein the energy storage element is a spring coupled to the impacting mechanism, an impacting mechanism has a tip configured to impact a bone, wherein the tip includes a tapered point, a power transmission mechanism is configured to transmit energy from the energy storage element to the impacting mechanism, wherein the power transmission mechanism includes a semi-flexible metal wire guided by a hollow shaft, wherein the hollow shaft includes a distal end, the semi-flexible metal wire is includes a bend toward the distal end, a trigger mechanism is configured to release energy from the energy storage element, wherein the bend includes an angle between 14 degrees and 46 degrees, wherein the trigger mechanism includes a manual lever which, when actuated, simultaneously retracts the tip and charges the energy storage element.

Disclosed herein are linear electric surgical hammer impact tools and methods of use thereof. The linear electric surgical hammer impact tools can include a housing, a slider, a shuttle, and a motor. The housing can define a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis of the housing. The slider can be located inside the cavity and arranged along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The shuttle can be located inside the cavity and arranged along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The shuttle can include a first set of collars and a second set of collars. The motor can be configured to drive the slider along the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction. Motion of the slider in the first and second directions can cause the slider to contact the first and second sets of collars.

Various surgical impactors are disclosed. The surgical impactor may include a housing, a rod that extends at least partially inside the housing, a hammer head attached to the rod, and a hammer housing that receives the hammer head. Actuation of the rod can cause the hammer head to move proximally and/or distally inside, and to impact, the hammer housing. The force of the impact can be conveyed to a surgical implant, instrument, etc.
