| 20120083769 | Double Offset Surgical Tool Handle Assembly To Provide Greater Offset From The Coronal Plane - A surgical tool handle for releasable connection to a surgical tool is described. The tool handle comprises a housing providing a linkage chamber extending from a proximal housing grip end to a distal housing tool end for receiving a tool. A tool linkage is partially housed within the linkage chamber. That way, manipulation of the tool linkage causes a locking pawl to pivot with respect to the housing from an open configuration ready to receive a tool for attachment to the housing to a closed configuration engageable with the tool supported at the distal housing tool end. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120071862 | DOUBLE OFFSET SURGICAL TOOL HANDLE ASSEMBLY HAVING A LOCKING LINKAGE ALIGNED ALONG TWO DIFFERENT PLANES - A surgical tool handle for releasable connection to a surgical tool is described. The tool handle comprises a housing providing a linkage chamber extending from a proximal housing grip end to a distal housing tool end for receiving a surgical tool. A tool linkage is partially housed within the housing linkage chamber comprising an axial handle region extending along axis A-A and a radiused housing region curving about a focal point. That way, a locking pawl of the tool linkage changes planes from its proximal end to a distal extending hook end. This provides a relatively short connection to a surgical tool that is optimum in the tight space requirements of a minimally invasive hip surgery. | 03-22-2012 |

| 20110202061 | Acetabular Reamer - An acetabular reaming system is disclosed of the type having a driver and a tool held together by a quick-release coupling mechanism. The tool ( | 08-18-2011 |
| 20100204702 | PRECISION ASSEMBLEABLE SURGICAL TOOL HANDLE - A precision adjustable surgical tool holder/driver is provided which is easily disassembled for cleaning and precisely reassembled. The holder/driver has a positionable handle allowing adjustment of the position of the handle about the spindle of the holder to enable the “handedness” of the holder to be changed in order to accommodate a user while operating from the left or right side of the patient, standing behind or in-front of the patient, or for use in different surgical methods. The holder/driver includes a “limited-play” capture mechanism, which connects the drive end of the housing to its locking sleeve via a limited-play locking device. The limited-play locking device utilizes a disengageable, precision fitted bayonet pin and seat combination in part to accomplish the precision reassembly feature of the present invention. | 08-12-2010 |
