Bender cart
A power bender may be provided. The power bender may comprise a cart, a bender mechanism, and a scissor mechanism. The cart may have a zero turn radius. The bender mechanism may be configured to bend conduit. The scissor mechanism may be disposed between the cart and the bender mechanism. The scissor mechanism may be configured adjust a working height of the bender mechanism above the cart. The bender mechanism may be configured to rotate about a pivot point.
Device for bending profile sections such as tubes
The invention relates to a device for bending profile sections, comprising at least one bending form (36) centered on a bending axis, provided with a peripheral groove that is interrupted by a cutout, a stack of clamping jaw counterparts (42-45) each comprising a cavity for clamping the profile section and having a shape designed to fit into the cutout of each bending form (36) with the cavity extending in the continuity of the peripheral groove of said bending form, means (51-53) for the so-called vertical movement of the stack of clamping jaw counterparts (42-45) which means are designed to move said stack along an axis parallel to the bending axis, a stack of clamping jaws (55-58), comprising cavities that complement the cavities of the clamping jaw counterparts (42-45), and means (70, 72-74, 76, 80, 81) for the relative movement of the assembly made up of the bending form(s) (36), the stack of clamping jaw counterparts (42-45) and the stack of clamping jaws (55-58).
Systems and Methods for Performing Spine Surgery
A digitizer pointer is provided as part of a system for correcting a curvature or deformity in a patient's spine based on the digitized locations of implanted screws and tracking the placement of the rod as it is placed in a minimally invasive fashion. The digitizer pointer is includes an offset adjustment feature, a swivel feature, and a translation feature.
Bender shoe ratchet
A bender shoe may comprise a first bender shoe plate, a second bender shoe plate, and a third bender shoe plate. A first side of the first bender shoe plate may be adjacent to a first side of the second bender shoe plate and the third bender shoe plate may be adjacent to a second side of the second bender shoe plate. The bender shoe may further comprise a ratcheting gear in a ratcheting gear opening in a second side of the first bender shoe plate. The bender shoe may comprise a first channel and a second channel. The first channel may be formed by a first surface on the first bender shoe plate and a second surface on the second bender shoe plate. The second channel may be formed by a third surface on the second bender shoe plate and a fourth surface on the third bender shoe plate.
