A plurality of friction rods each of which is positioned in a hole around the retaining bore with a portion of each of the plurality of friction rods partially protruding into the retaining bore for directly engaging the shank of the tool for holding the shank of the tool in the retaining bore at the defined contact surfaces.

Interlocking Collet System For A Surgical Device
20220087754 · 2022-03-24 · ·

An interlocking collet system includes an attachment comprising first and second attachment surfaces spaced from one another and a collet. The collet comprises a housing configured to extend along an axis. The housing defines a bore for selectively disposing and retaining the attachment therein in an installed position. First and second locking members are disposed within the bore and are moveable. At least one bias member is disposed within the bore and is arranged to position the first locking member in a first position in which the first locking member is configured to contact the first attachment surface. The at least one bias member is arranged to position the second locking member in a second position in which the second locking member is configured to contact the second attachment surface. The first and second locking members are configured to exert opposing axial forces on the attachment.

Instrument couplings and related methods

Instrument couplings and related methods are disclosed herein, e.g., for coupling a surgical instrument to a navigation array or other component. The coupling can reduce or eliminate movement between the instrument and the navigation array, improving navigation precision. The coupling can be quick and easy to use, reducing or eliminating the need for extra steps or additional tools to attach or detach the instrument from the coupling. In some embodiments, the single step of inserting an instrument into the coupling can automatically lock the instrument within the coupling in a toggle-free manner.
