  • Publication number: 20250134582
    Abstract: A probe apparatus includes a plurality of nested sheaths including an inner sheath forming an inner sheath passage and an outer sheath forming an outer sheath passage. A cannula forms an actuator linkage that extends from a proximal linkage end portion to a distal linkage end portion. The actuator linkage extends through the inner sheath passage from the proximal end portion at a main body forming a handle portion to the distal linkage end portion and forms a lumen therethrough. A blade is in connection with the distal linkage end portion and the inner sheath. An imaging apparatus includes an imager extending through the cannula at the distal linkage end portion and captures image data in a field of view.

  • Publication number: 20250107811
    Abstract: Surgical impact driver adaptors may be connected between a powered surgical instrument and a driven surgical device when performing surgical procedures, such as those involving the implantation of a surgical implant into bone, for example. During surgical procedures, the surgical impact driver adaptors may limit a transfer of a rotational force from the powered surgical instrument to the surgical device until a sufficient axial force is applied to the impact driver adaptor from the powered surgical instrument.
