  • Publication number: 20260151139
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting guide (18) aimed at being connected to a surgical cutting tool (10) comprising a casing (12), a cutting blade (16), a sliding mechanism (20) connected to the casing (12), a sliding unit (22) coupled to the casing (12) by means of the sliding mechanism (20), the sliding unit (22) further cooperates by sliding with the sliding mechanism (20), a blade maintaining element (24) carried by the sliding unit (22), being designed to cooperate with the cutting blade (16) in order to maintain the blade (16) aligned with the sliding axis (X?), an abutment element (26) carried by the sliding unit (22), being aimed at abutting against an abutment body part. The sliding mechanism (20) and the sliding unit (22) are configured to be positioned below the cutting blade (16) in use configuration, and the sliding unit, the blade maintaining element and the abutment element remain static with regards to an anatomical element when the cutting guide is activated.

  • Publication number: 20220304879
    Abstract: A limb positioning system for positioning and maintaining immobilized a patient's limb in a desired position with respect to a surgical table during orthopedic surgery. The system includes: a pivoting member having a longitudinal portion extending along a corresponding longitudinal axis; a support member configured to support the patient's limb; the support member includes a support hooking part connected to the longitudinal portion and movable along the longitudinal portion; a clutch connected to the pivoting member having an open configuration and a locked configuration, wherein, in the open configuration, the clutch enables pivoting of the pivoting member around a rotation axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, distinct from the longitudinal axis, and wherein, in the locked configuration, the clutch allows immobilization of the pivoting member in the desired position; and at least one fixation member configured to maintain the system in position with respect to the surgical table.
