Patent number: 9078674Abstract: A surgical instrument is described which comprises an alignment guide having a first part including a distal end and a second part having a proximal end. The first part is attached to the second part by a pivot mechanism so that the first part can be tilted relative to the second part. A brace is attached toward the proximal end of the alignment guide for attaching the instrument to a limb of a patient. A component is attached toward the distal end of the alignment guide. The pivot mechanism is configured so that tilting the first part does not substantially change the separation between the component and the brace.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: DEPUY (IRELAND)Inventors: Maja Kecman, Lisa Stroux, Alberto Verteramo

Patent number: 8690767Abstract: The present invention provides a speculum including a body, an opening, a first blade pivotably secured to the body and a second blade that is integral with the body. The blades are located at opposed sides of the opening. The first blade is movable between a first retracted position in which it lies adjacent to the second blade and a second extended position in which it is spaced apart from the second blade. A mechanism is also provided to move the first blade from the first position to the second position. When the first blade is in the extended position, there is an inspection channel formed that extends through the opening and between the blades. The mechanism for moving the first blade is preferably located substantially outside the periphery of the opening when the first blade is in the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Speculus (UK) LimitedInventor: Maja Kecman
