Patent number: 11730529Abstract: Systems, instruments, and methods for operating a surgical instrument. The methods comprising: receiving at least a portion of an external object in a recess of a hollow shank; rotating a first shaft disposed within the hollow shank; using rotation of the first shaft to cause translational movement of a second shaft of the surgical instrument in a first direction away from the first shaft and along a central axis of the surgical instrument; applying a pushing force on the external object using the second shaft that is experiencing the translational movement; and causing translational movement of the second shaft in a second direction opposed from the first direction after the pushing force has been applied to the external object.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Brian A. Butler, Aubrey R. Mills, Christel Italiaie, Bret M. Wilfong, Madeline G. Wilson

Patent number: 11701098Abstract: A surgical retractor includes a part defining a longitudinal axis. A first radiolucent blade is connected with the part. A second radiolucent blade is connected with the part. The blades are independently translatable relative to the part. At least one of the blades includes spaced apart arms that are connected via a member. The member and the arms are relatively disposed in a configuration to guide at least one surgical instrument in a selected orientation relative to a surgical site. Surgical systems, instruments, constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Larry Thomas McBride, Jr., Christel Italiaie, Madeline G. Wilson

Publication number: 20210298794Abstract: Systems, instruments, and methods for operating a surgical instrument are disclosed. The instrument may include a drive shaft axially aligned with a central axis of the surgical instrument. The drive shaft may include a first mating end and be rotatably supported within a drive housing having a contoured interior supporting the first mating end. The instrument may include an outer shaft having an outer receiver interface configured to selectively couple and uncouple to a connecting portion of a receiver. The instrument may also include a plunger that is axially aligned with the central axis and having a second mating end disposed within the contoured interior of the drive housing. In various embodiments, the second mating end may be axially aligned with and in contact with the first mating end. In various embodiments, the plunger may be configured to linearly translate along the central axis upon rotation of the drive shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Brian A. Butler, Aubrey R. Mills, Christel Italiaie, Bret M. Wilfong, Madeline G. Wilson
