Abstract: A locking grip extraction tool has plier handles with jaws having sharp beveled edges for moving in a direction so that an axis perpendicular to the plane of movement is oriented at an acute angle to the handles; the axis intersecting the plane of jaw movement at a point midway between the jaws. A locking link coupled to the handles is adapted to releasably lock the jaws onto an orthopedic implant. A connection rod can be threaded into a hole in one of the handles near the jaws, so that a force applying tool such as a slap hammer can be connected to the rod to apply force to remove the implant. The rod is in alignment with the axis, which alignment makes it easier to remove the implant.
Abstract: A handle assembly for a surgical tool including a handle having a distal end, and a first retaining mechanism attached to the distal end of the handle. The retaining mechanism includes a first retaining housing having a first central cavity for receiving a surgical tool, and a first locking mechanism moveable between first and second positions relative to the housing, the locking mechanism including a through hole for receiving the surgical tool. The handle assembly further includes a second retaining mechanism attached to a proximal end of the handle. The second retaining mechanism includes a second retaining housing having a second central cavity for receiving a handle extension, and a second locking mechanism moveable between first and second positions relative to the second retaining housing, the second locking mechanism having a through hole for receiving the handle extension.
Abstract: An implant extractor including a second arm having a proximal end and a distal end, and a first arm having a proximal end for attachment to an extraction device. The first arm additionally has a distal end for attachment to a first jaw, and an adjustment mechanism including an adjuster and a lever. The lever has a proximal end engaged with the adjuster and a distal end pivotably connected to the second arm. The implant extractor additionally includes a link pivotably connected to the first and second arms, the link having a distal end for attachment to a second jaw.
Abstract: A chuck assembly for a medical device is provided. The chuck assembly includes a mounting base structured to couple to a tool; a housing coupled to the mounting base; and a cam sleeve within the housing and movable with respect to the housing between a locked position and an unlocked position, the cam sleeve having an annular base, an arm extending from the annular base, and a cam extending laterally from the arm.
Abstract: A cannulated nail extractor including an extractor having a proximal end for connecting to an extraction device, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a connector extending from the distal end. The cannulated nail extractor further includes an engagement wire having an enlarged proximal end configured to engage the extractor and an enlarged distal end configured to engage a distal end of the cannulated nail. The cannulated nail extractor further includes a positioning wire for insertion into the cannulated nail for urging the enlarged distal end of the engagement wire into engagement with the distal end of the cannulated nail, whereby exerting an extraction force on the extractor produces extraction force by engagement of the enlarged distal end of the engagement wire on the distally facing end of the cannulated nail.
Abstract: A surgical extractor that includes a first arm and a second arm, a linkage assembly connected to the first and second arms, and a driven shaft operatively engaged with the linkage assembly for moving the linkage assembly between first and second positions. The surgical extractor further includes a tensioning shaft engageable with the driven shaft for moving the driven shaft relative to the linkage assembly.

Abstract: A surgical extractor including first and second arms connected to first and second implant-engageable jaws. The first and second arms are connected by first and third links to a stationary screw jack nut and by second and fourth links to a moveable screw jack nut. A driven shaft is rotatably received in the stationary screw jack nut and threadedly received in the moveable screw jack nut, and a drive shaft rotatably drives the driven shaft. Rotation of the drive shaft in a first direction separates the first and second arms and jaws in order to receive an implant. Rotation of the drive shaft in a second direction closes the first and second arms and jaws in order to clamp an implant. A handle assembly engages the drive shaft in order to drive the drive shaft and disengages from the drive shaft to exert a removal force on an implant.
