  • Publication number: 20170079735
    Abstract: Surgical instrument intended to receive a cutting tool in a removable manner, surgical kit and method for manufacturing the same are described. A surgical instrument (1) intended to receive a cutting tool in a removable manner includes a receiving member (7), including a body (8) provided with a means (10) for receiving the tool, which is designed to evolve between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, and a locking/unlocking device (14) comprising a first element (15) linked to the receiving member (7) by a helical connection. The locking/unlocking device (14) comprises a second element (22) linked to the receiving member (7) by a sliding connection, so that a relative rotation of the first (15) and second (22) elements results in a relative translation of the receiving member (7) and the second element (22) thereby allowing controlling the receiving means (10).
