Abstract: The present invention relates to pedicle implements, in particular pedicle implants that involve screws. The present invention includes a handle, a pointy tip, a shaft, a cannula located therethrough and mini protrusions used to prevent toggling. The crux of the present invention is the ability of the user to create an accurate pilot hole via the pointy tip. In addition, the present invention allows the user the ability to insert a pedicle probe through the cannula out through the pointy tip. This allows the user to perform the cannulation portion of the procedure without the use of any thrombatic agents.

Abstract: A pedicle punch used to establish pilot holes in vertebra pedicles when deployed thereon during pedicle screw insertion processes comprising a proximal end, a distal end, a shaft, a lip, a radiation opaque center core, and a radiation translucent outer layer. The proximal end acts as a handle for the pedicle punch. The shaft distally projects from the center of the proximal end and terminates to a sharp conical spike at the distal end. The lip outwardly projects from and is fixedly connected to the shaft, adjacent to the sharp conical spike and concentric thereto. The radiation opaque center core runs longitudinally along the entire length of the pedicle punch, through the proximal end, through the shaft and lip outwardly projecting therefrom, to the very tip of the distal end; and the radiation translucent outer layer concentrically surrounds and encases the radiation opaque center core, running along the entire length of the pedicle punch.
