A rotary surgical tool is provided and has an effector or cutter that is usable to remove or otherwise modify tissue such as bone. The tool includes a motor coupled to the effector with a single piece shaft that is integral with the effector and also serves as the motor output shaft.

A drive system for a handheld rotary medical device including a force absorption system incorporated in a drive coupling of the drive system is disclosed. The force absorption system may be included in the drive coupling whereby force absorption system absorbs linear forces aligned with a longitudinal axis of the drive coupling. As such, the force absorption system permits limited linear movement of a rotary surgical implement, which may be a shaver, burr or the like, relative to a drive shaft and handheld housing.

Devices and methods for an autovance intraosseous device. The autovance intraosseous device can include a trigger activated system or pressure activated system that causes a needle to advance distally for a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance ensures a needle tip extends through the bone cortex, to access the medullary cavity, without penetrating a far wall of the medullary cavity. The advancement can be driven by a spring based system or an electric motor.

A medical device system configured to dynamically switch motor control protocols while a motor within a handheld device is operating to increase efficiency of the motor operation and to provide improved reliability and performance is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the medical device system may be configured to dynamically switch motor control protocols while the motor is operating based on input from one or more sensors configured to monitor a motor, including, but not limited to, monitoring a magnetic flux field of the motor or monitoring current to the motor. The medical device system may dynamically switch motor control protocols between motor control protocols, including, but not limited to, Six-Step Commutation, Hall-Based Sinusoidal Commutation and Field Oriented Commutation.

A single use integrated disposable rotational speed reduction assembly having a shaft assembly, a housing, an output assembly, and a plurality of planetary gears each having a plurality of gear teeth. The shaft assembly is configured to cause rotation of the planetary gears with a sun gear. The rotation of the planetary gears is configured to cause rotation of an output shaft, with a reduction of rotational speed relative to the rotation of the shaft assembly. One or more gear components or spacers can be configured to fail after a predetermined number of use cycles.

A method of ankle replacement includes forming an anterior cut in a bone and forming a stem hole in a distal end of the bone. The stem hole is formed using a plurality of broaches positioned against the distal end of the bone through the anterior cut. A first portion and a second portion of a stem implant are inserted into the stem hole through the anterior cut in the bone. The first portion is coupled to the second portion using a coupling device inserted through the anterior cut in the bone. The stem implant is impacted into the stem hole using an offset impactor.

A surgical power drill system includes a housing unit, a driving unit, a tool holder, and a screw member. The driving unit is movably mounted in the housing unit and includes a motor and a motor shaft coupled to the motor. The driving unit is movable relative to the housing unit between a distal position, where the driving unit is distal from a front end of the housing unit, and a proximate position, where the driving unit is proximate to the front end of the housing unit. The tool holder is coupled to a first end portion of the motor shaft. The screw member is coupled to a second end portion of the motor shaft.

The vertebral pedicle screw placement device of the present application includes a bone drill mechanism and a depth advancing mechanism connected to the bone drill mechanism and used to generate linear reciprocating motion. The bone drill mechanism includes a bone drill driving device and a clamping mechanism connected and driven by the bone drill driving device. The present application provides the driving force of the linear reciprocating motion of the bone drill mechanism through a depth advancing mechanism, and combines the driving control of the clamping mechanism by the bone drill driving device. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the guide pins, reamers, taps, vertebral pedicle screws, etc. required in the operation, so as to realize the screw placement in the operation, improve the operation efficiency and the accuracy of the screw placement, and avoid possible accidental injuries in the manual screw placement process in the prior art.

A medical device may include a handpiece having a housing and a drive system arranged within the housing. The drive system may be adapted to operate a tool in direct contact with human matter of a patient at a treatment site. The device may also include a suction system integrated into the drive system and configured to remove human matter from the treatment site. The device may also include a motor removably attached to the housing and configured for delivering rotational power to the drive system while avoiding contact with the human matter.
