Abstract: A device for suture thread cutting, containing: a handle; a stationary external element having a channel at the distal end, and a proximal end connected to said handle, said channel is fitted and shaped for holding a suture thread; a movable cutter having a cutting edge, partially inserted into said handle, said cutting edge is configured to move between a first position and a second position in said channel; wherein in said first position the suture thread is retained within the channel and in said second position the suture thread is cut.

Abstract: A kit (4000, 5100) including a guiding system and a cannulated bone material removal device, the bone material removal device (4004, 5200) having a longitudinal shaft (4024, 5202) and comprising on the longitudinal shaft a radially expandable cutting portion (4028, 5208) having a longitudinally-oriented cutting edge (2124), the radial expansion comprising an increase of a cross-sectional diameter of the bone material removal device at the longitudinal position of the expandable cutting portion; and the guiding system including an arcuate element (4008, 5102), a guiding element (4010, 5104) configured to be attached to the arcuate element, and a cannula (4002, 5106), slidably insertable into a portion of the arcuate element; wherein the bone material removal device is axially displaceable within said cannula. The kit can be used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Abstract: A bone material removal device including a cannula, a bone drilling forward tip and a bore widening element including a bone carving portion that slides axially relative to the cannula and extends in a circumferential direction and wherein the axial movement of the bore widening element relative to the cannula brings a carving portions to travel and extend radially in a circumferential direction beyond a surface of the cannula and carve bone from a wall of a bore.

Abstract: A flexible bone tool comprising a bone tissue removal element configured at a distal end of the tool, at least two links coupled proximally to the bone tissue removal element, the links connected to each other by a radial interference connection in which at least one radially outwards extending protrusion of a first link is received within a recess of a subsequent link. In some embodiments, the links are interconnected by a “snap-fit” connection. In some embodiments, the flexible bone tool is configured for transferring torque at a magnitude sufficient for drilling and/or reaming a bore in a bone.
