Patent number: 9687257Abstract: An instrument for facilitating the insertion of a pin or wire into a bone or other structure. The instrument includes a body, a first shaft and a second shaft at least partially positioned within the body, an actuator in communication with the second shaft, a first holding feature, and a second holding feature. The first shaft may include a lumen about a longitudinal axis, with the first shaft being rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The second shaft may be axially mobile and may be positioned at least partially around the first shaft. The first holding feature may be located adjacent a first position along the longitudinal axis and may be able to passively apply a first force to an elongated member received in the lumen. The second holding feature may be capable of applying a second force to the elongated member received in the lumen.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Zimmer Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Straslicka, Mark Mahaffey, Kévin Sornay, Marc Détry

Patent number: 8966772Abstract: A surgical blade assembly for use with a driver includes a blade with a distal cutting portion, and a proximal end has a first dimension which is less than what is applicable for use with a specific driver head. An insert is affixed to the blade proximal end and, when affixed to the blade proximal end, is configured to enable the blade for use with the driver head. A surgical cutting tool includes such a surgical blade assembly and a driver head receiving the blade assembly. A surgical cutting tool kit includes a driver with a head for receiving the blade assembly, and a plurality of such surgical blade assemblies for use with the driver, wherein the blades have different thicknesses (a) and/or widths and the corresponding inserts are configured such that the proximal ends of the surgical blade assemblies all include at least one same constant dimension (b).Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Zimmer Surgical SAInventors: Bernard P. Legrand, Marc Detry
