Patent number: 11937861Abstract: Devices and methods for bending or cutting implants are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an instrument can include a rotatable drive shaft that urges first and second portions of a modular bending or cutting template toward one another to bend or cut an implant disposed between the template portions. A linkage assembly can be included to provide a mechanical advantage in urging the template portions toward one another. In some embodiments, an instrument can include a rotatable drive shaft that, depending on direction of rotation, pushes or pulls a first modular template portion with respect to a second modular template portion to bend an implant disposed between the template portions in one direction or another direction. In some embodiments, an instrument can include a worm drive that rotates a cutting wheel with respect to a cutting plate to cut an implant inserted through openings formed in the cutting wheel and the cutting plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MEDOS INTERNATIONAL SÀRLInventors: Renaud Rouge, Henri Defossez, Thibault Chandanson, Joseph Caulfield, Daniel Lyness, Zoher Bootwala, Michael O'Neil
