A system comprises a substrate having a plurality of apertures, and a clip. The clip is removably coupled to one of the plurality of apertures. The clip has a body, a plurality of fingers, a first leg, a second leg, a first notch, and a second notch. The fingers extend from the body to collectively form at least two tube-engaging regions. The first leg is adjacent to a first end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The second leg is adjacent to a second end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The first notch is adjacent to the first end of the body and is configured to receive a first portion of the substrate. The second notch is adjacent to the second end of the body and is configured to receive a second portion of the substrate.

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for modifying, cutting and/or shaping surgical fixation components of various configurations, including spinal fixation rods and related components.

Implant driver

An apparatus for inserting implants in a bone comprising a frame having a cartridge receiving chamber and a barrel. A cartridge defining a plurality of chambers is positioned in the cartridge receiving chamber so the chambers are selectively alignable with a longitudinal passage of the barrel. At least one instrument is positioned in one of the chambers, and a plurality of implants is positioned in the other chambers. A drive assembly is engageable with the instrument and the implants. The drive assembly is slidably and rotatably disposed in the frame and is moveable between a retracted position, an engaging position wherein the distal end of the drive assembly is positioned to engage the selected one of the instrument and the implants, and an extended position wherein the drive assembly extends through the chamber to transport the selected one of the instrument or the implant from the chamber to the distal end of the barrel.

Surgical system instrument mounting

An instrument manipulator may comprise a frame comprising an outer shell and an inner frame, the inner frame being movably coupled to the outer shell. The instrument manipulator may also include a plurality of actuator outputs protruding in a distal direction from the frame and an instrument support feature coupled to the outer shell. The instrument manipulator may further comprise a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism being configured to move the inner frame, the outer shell, or both relative to one another, so as to operably engage the plurality of actuator outputs with a plurality of actuator inputs of an instrument supported by the instrument support feature.

System and method for increased operating room efficiency

Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.
