    摘要: For suture tying in a medical procedure including the use of an anchor that includes a suture locking device that includes a sliding pin guided by axial side slots formed in the locking device that forces the suture where the two ends thereof are inserted into the interior of the suture locking mechanism to drive the captured suture and pin to fit into a recess on the top of the suture locking mechanism such that the top of the pin binds the suture against the upper inner surface of the recess. The recess can be serrated to enhance the locking capability and the pin is polygonal shaped to provide side surfaces that run parallel to the wall of the recess to assure that the side portion of the pin does not fracture the suture and cause it to weaken. The locking of the suture is automatic upon the deployment of the anchor which actuates the pin into the locking position, thus eliminating the necessity of manually knotting the suture and improving the cinching of the tissue to the bone. The suture locking mechanism is usable for attaching tissue to the bone, tying tissue to tissue and the like. The disclosure also includes the method of deploying the combined anchor and suture locking device in a medical procedure.

    摘要: A ball bearing construction including a plurality of balls supported in a cage and each ball within a row is off-set relative to each other. In certain applications the rolling surface of the balls bear against the rotating shaft and the case enclosing the bearing. The number of balls and the number of rows are predicated on the particular application. This invention is particularly efficacious for use for medical instruments. In other embodiments an inner race and/or outer race can be utilized with this configured balls and cage.

    摘要: The rotary motion created by a motor is transmitted from the drive shaft of the motor to the driven shaft through a pair of diametrically opposed balls fitted into a coupling mechanism attached to the drive shaft and through a pin fitted into holes formed in the opposed balls and through the driven shaft disposed between the opposed balls for eliminating vibration and noise. The thrust loads imposed in the structure supporting the motor is directed to bypass the motor through a bearing supporting the driven shaft through its housing and into the outer housing surrounding the motor. The motor is encased in a cartridge disposed in a central cavity of the outer housing and the cartridge is not rigidly attached to the outer housing so that the thrust loads bypass the motor.

    摘要: A high speed surgical instrument is designed with a clutch that automatically locks a cutter which is easily assembled and disassembled without moving parts. The clutch includes a pin and U-shaped pin that compliments a configured groove section at the proximal end of a cutter that fits into a clutch mechanism in the drill or attachment. The cutter includes axially spaced and opposed grooves judiciously located and a flat end portion that allows easy ingress and egress for locking into the clutch mechanism. A square or multi-sided bore configuration of a journal type bearing made from a high temperature resistance polymer material allows the drill to operate at high speeds with a reduction in the diameter of the distal end of the cutter support.

    摘要: A surgical pneumatic motor is designed to be used with an MRI machine without affecting or influencing the magnetic characteristic of the MRI machine. While certain components are made from stainless steel this material is a non-magnetic type. While this surgical pneumatic motor can be utilized in non-MRI applications it can also be modified by changing the more expensive materials to be utilized only in non-magnetic applications. The motor includes an improved vane motor with undercuts in the spindle to increase the power faces of the vanes and spindle itself, the holes in the cylinder are modified to increase the sealing area between the spindle, re-position the inlet cylindrical holes and arrange the cylinder holes and grooves to enhance the life, the cylinder discharge holes are arranged in a pattern to avoid uneven wear of the edge of the vanes, the air flow is modified to flow a portion into the cylinder, around the cylinder and then into the cylinder before exiting the motor and a crisscross plug in the hose attenuates the motor discharge air. The main housing is serrated and the serrations located against the outer sleeve define an air gap to insulate the handle of the motor and the main seal is made from a plurality of discs arranged to enhance seal life.

    摘要: A journal bearing for a high speed surgical drill and/or attachment for rotatably supporting a cutter is made from a polymer of polyimide resin and graphite material and is designed to have a polygon configured bore where there are two point contact of the mating surfaces of the bore walls and cutter's shaft and preferably the bore is square shaped in cross section. This bearing results in a decrease in the envelope size of the support tube and hence, the overall diameter of the surgical instrument at the distal end enhances the line of vision of the cutter to the surgeon when the surgeon is performing surgical procedures. The entrance ends of the intermediate bearings are countersunk to define a ramp to ease the egress of the tool bit shaft for entering the tube of the drill motor or drill attachment during the assembly thereof.

    摘要: A cutter for a surgical drill and/or attachment includes a configured groove section at the proximal end that fits into a clutch mechanism in the drill or attachment. The distal end portion is flattened at above the center line and extends axially a short distance and defines a shoulder with the outer circumference of the shaft of the cutter. A pair of diametrically grooves disposed downstream of the shoulder toward the distal end are formed on the upper and lower portion of the shaft and are oriented in a horizontal plane passing through the center of the flat portion and include in each of the grooves a pair of predetermined angular grooves displaced from the upper circumferential surface with the apex of the angle being in the horizontal plane and another groove adjacent to and upstream of the shoulder toward the proximate end with a predetermined angle with the apex passing through the horizontal plane.
