  • Patent number: 8449569
    Abstract: A surgical device for manipulation of an implantable medical device includes a surgical tool and a controller. The surgical tool may include a mechanical interface that enables a surgical instrument to hold and position the surgical tool, an electrical drive mechanism with a drive shaft, the electrical drive mechanism selectively controlling bidirectional rotation of the drive shaft, and a grasping mechanism operationally coupled to the drive shaft. The grasping mechanism for releasably grasping the implantable medical device. The controller includes a first control device. An implant activation of the first control device controls the electrical drive mechanism to rotate the grasping mechanism in a first direction. A removal activation of the first control device controls the electrical drive mechanism to rotate the grasping mechanism in an opposite direction. A method for manipulation of the implantable medical device is also provided.
