Patent number: 11413076Abstract: A surgical tool adaptor includes a distal interface member and a proximal holder. The surgical tool adaptor is formed with a lumen through the distal interface member and the proximal holder for passing a guiding element (e.g., K-wire) distally through the distal interface member. The proximal holder includes a locking element for locking the guiding element in the lumen and the distal interface member includes a connecting element for connecting to a surgical tool. The proximal holder is movable relative to the distal interface member so that the proximal holder is movable to a position wherein the guiding element does not protrude proximally out of the proximal holder.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Premia Spine Ltd.Inventors: Winfried Koenig, Franz Jakoubek, Ofer Vikinsky

Patent number: 10918493Abstract: A joint replacement device includes a male component with a structure to couple to a bone on one side of a joint, and an outer articulation surface that is attached to the structure via a neck. A female component is configured to couple to a bone on an opposite side of the joint and includes a cavity that is surrounded by an inner articulation surface. An opening of the cavity is shaped to enable insertion of the outer articulation surface into the cavity when the outer articulation surface is aligned with the opening, and to prevent separation of the male component from the female component when rotated so as not to align with the opening. The neck is located within the opening and the outer articulation surface is rotatable within the outer articulation surface with a rotation that is limited by dimensions of the opening and the neck.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Fibioseq Medical Ltd.Inventors: Lauren Gorelick, Ofer Vikinsky

Patent number: 10828079Abstract: A surgical tool adaptor includes a distal interface member and a handle. The distal interface member includes a connecting element for connecting to a surgical tool. A K-wire connector is disposed in a central passageway for receiving therethrough a K-wire. The K-wire connector includes a locking element for locking the K-wire. A clutch mechanism is operatively connected to the distal interface member and to the K-wire connector, wherein in a first orientation of the clutch mechanism, the distal interface member and the K-wire connector move together, and in a second orientation of the clutch mechanism, the distal interface member is declutched from the K-wire connector, so that in the first orientation movement of the handle moves the distal interface member and the K-wire connector together, and in the second orientation the distal interface member and the K-wire connector move independently of each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Premia Spine Ltd.Inventors: Ofer Vikinsky, Ron Sacher
