Abstract: A handle assembly for a surgical tool including a handle having a distal end, and a first retaining mechanism attached to the distal end of the handle. The retaining mechanism includes a first retaining housing having a first central cavity for receiving a surgical tool, and a first locking mechanism moveable between first and second positions relative to the housing, the locking mechanism including a through hole for receiving the surgical tool. The handle assembly further includes a second retaining mechanism attached to a proximal end of the handle. The second retaining mechanism includes a second retaining housing having a second central cavity for receiving a handle extension, and a second locking mechanism moveable between first and second positions relative to the second retaining housing, the second locking mechanism having a through hole for receiving the handle extension.

Abstract: A chuck assembly for a medical device is provided. The chuck assembly includes a mounting base structured to couple to a tool; a housing coupled to the mounting base; and a cam sleeve within the housing and movable with respect to the housing between a locked position and an unlocked position, the cam sleeve having an annular base, an arm extending from the annular base, and a cam extending laterally from the arm.

Abstract: A surgical extractor that includes a first arm and a second arm, a linkage assembly connected to the first and second arms, and a driven shaft operatively engaged with the linkage assembly for moving the linkage assembly between first and second positions. The surgical extractor further includes a tensioning shaft engageable with the driven shaft for moving the driven shaft relative to the linkage assembly.

Abstract: A surgical extractor including first and second arms connected to first and second implant-engageable jaws. The first and second arms are connected by first and third links to a stationary screw jack nut and by second and fourth links to a moveable screw jack nut. A driven shaft is rotatably received in the stationary screw jack nut and threadedly received in the moveable screw jack nut, and a drive shaft rotatably drives the driven shaft. Rotation of the drive shaft in a first direction separates the first and second arms and jaws in order to receive an implant. Rotation of the drive shaft in a second direction closes the first and second arms and jaws in order to clamp an implant. A handle assembly engages the drive shaft in order to drive the drive shaft and disengages from the drive shaft to exert a removal force on an implant.

Abstract: A locking grip extraction tool has plier handles with jaws having sharp beveled edges for moving in a direction so that an axis perpendicular to the plane of movement is oriented at an acute angle to the handles; the axis intersecting the plane of jaw movement at a point midway between the jaws. A locking link coupled to the handles is adapted to releasably lock the jaws onto an orthopedic implant. A connection rod can be threaded into a hole in one of the handles near the jaws, so that a force applying tool such as a slap hammer can be connected to the rod to apply force to remove the implant. The rod is in alignment with the axis, which alignment makes it easier to remove the implant.

Abstract: An implant extractor assembly that includes a handle, and a mount connectable to the handle. The mount includes a main body, a quick connect about a proximal end of the main body, and an L-shaped connector about a distal end of the main body. The L-shaped connector includes a through hole having a longitudinal axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of the main body.

Abstract: A medical implant extractor including a handle, a shank extending from the handle, and a laterally projecting tip at a distal end of the shank. The disclosure further provides a kit including the aforementioned medical implant extractor and a striking tool for striking the medical implant extractor.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A cutter for cutting an implant is provided. The cutter includes a handle; a handle coupler coupled to the handle; a drill guide coupled to the handle coupler and including at least one window; a mill extending through the handle coupler and the drill guide and disposed to rotate freely therein; and a catch cup circumscribing the drill guide to maintain chips of the implant removed by the mill.

Abstract: A medical implant extractor including a handle, a shank extending from the handle, and a head connected to a distal end of the shank. In particular, the shank includes a first axial segment having a first longitudinal axis, a second axial segment having a second longitudinal axis spaced from the first longitudinal axis; and the head is connected to a distal end of the second axial segment. The head includes a main body, a strike plate facing substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of one of the first and second longitudinal axes of the first and second axial segments, and a tip extending distally and outwardly from the main body. So constructed, effective implant extraction force may be exerted on the head by striking the strike plate with a striking tool in a substantially radial direction while minimizing the radial space within which the striking tool is swung.

Abstract: An osteotome guide is provided. The osteotome guide includes a handle, a shaft within the handle and slidable to a selected longitudinal position with respect to the handle, a tool coupler attached to a distal end of the shaft for receiving a working tool, and a lock assembly to lock the shaft into the selected longitudinal position with respect to the handle.

Abstract: A modular jaw for attachment to an orthopedic implant extraction tool that includes an elongated body, a claw about a distal end of the elongated body for engaging an object, and a locking mechanism about a posterior end of the elongated body for engaging the orthopedic implant extraction tool. The locking mechanism includes a dovetail lock, a detent mounted to the dovetail lock, and a distally facing surface about a proximal end of the elongated body.
