  • Implant remover
    Patent number: 10722259
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tool for removing an implanted item from beneath the skin, the tool comprising: a clamping device configured to engage with the skin to retain the implanted item in a known position relative to the tool; a cutting device for cutting an opening in the skin; and a gripping device configured to move through an opening in the skin and grip an implanted item; such that, in use, the implanted item is retained by the clamping device substantially in the known position and the cutting device creates an opening in the skin through which the gripping device then passes to grip an implanted item. Advantageously, the tool reduces the complexity of an implant removal process and does not require significant operator skill to use. It further reduces the time required and the variation in the outcome of such a procedure.
