Abstract: A handle for a surgical tool including a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end with a gripping handle affixed to the proximal end of the shaft. A bushing is attached to the distal end of the shaft, the bushing including a plurality of flexible members circumferentially spaced apart. The handle further includes a sleeve circumscribing the shaft and the bushing. The sleeve is moveable between a first position substantially covering an entirety of the bushing and a second position spaced from a most distal end of the bushing.

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.
