Publication number: 20230338075Abstract: A implant extractor for removing an implant is provided. The implant extractor includes an extractor head having a laterally extending blade, an intermediate portion adjacent to the blade, and a laterally extending strike plate adjacent to the intermediate portion, the blade including a proximal side for mating with the implant; a shaft having proximal and distal ends, the distal end of the shaft being coupled to the extractor head; and a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Shukla MedicalInventor: Nicholas Christopher Keach

Publication number: 20230338166Abstract: A glenosphere base removal tool is provided. The tool includes a housing having an axis of rotation; a handle coupled to the housing for receiving a loosening torque from a user; a plurality of pin assemblies in the housing for engaging fastener holes of a glenosphere base, each of the pin assemblies extending substantially parallel to the axis of rotation and spaced radially from the axis of rotation by a radial distance; a cam assembly structured to adjust the radial distances of the pin assemblies; and a ratchet assembly structured to transfer the loosening torque to the pin assemblies for unscrewing the glenosphere base.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Shukla MedicalInventor: Nicholas Christopher Keach
-
Publication number: 20230329879Abstract: A surgical hammer that includes a handle, a shaft extending from the handle and a hammer head connected to the shaft. The hammer head includes a slot extending through the hammer head and in fluid communication with a distal end of the hammer head, a first internal cavity within the hammer head spaced laterally from the slot, and a second internal cavity within the hammer head spaced laterally from the slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Shukla MedicalInventors: Zachary Robert Sweitzer, Nicholas Christopher Keach

Patent number: 11779468Abstract: An implant extractor including a shaft body and a telescoping push rod extending from the shaft body. An adjustor is engaged with the telescoping push rod for adjusting a length of the telescoping push rod. A support arm extends laterally away from the shaft body and a jaw assembly extends from the support arm. The jaw assembly includes a jaw moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position, and a rocker arm operatively engaged with the telescoping push rod and the jaw. The implant extractor provides a line of force spaced from and substantially parallel to an implant to be extracted. As a consequence, there is substantial clearance for an extension handle such as a C-frame or the like which is oftentimes needed to dislodge the implant from surrounding bone. In addition, the implant extractor is capable of gripping a wide range of sizes of hip stem implant trunnions.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Shukla MedicalInventors: Nicholas Christopher Keach, Zachary Robert Sweitzer

Publication number: 20210338301Abstract: An intramedullary nail extractor including a central body, a rotatable sleeve and a clamping member. The central body includes a proximal end for attachment to an extractor, a distal end having a hook for engaging an intramedullary nail, and a threaded intermediate portion between the proximal end and the distal end. The rotatable sleeve threadedly engages the threaded intermediate portion of the central body, and the clamping member is operatively engaged by the rotatable sleeve and moveable relative to the central body.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: Shukla MedicalInventor: Nicholas Christopher Keach
-
Publication number: 20210322081Abstract: A quick connect is disclosed for a medical device. The quick connect includes a housing, a slide lock mounted within the housing, and a locking assembly mounted within the housing. The slide lock is for receiving a cooperating connection adapter. The locking assembly includes a substantially annular member having a superiorly facing sloped recess. The substantially annular member is movable along a longitudinal axis of the housing upon rotation of the substantially annular member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: Shukla MedicalInventors: Zachary Robert Sweitzer, Nicholas Christopher Keach
