    摘要: A bone staple insertion tool for inserting a bone staple into a patient includes a body having a proximal portion, a distal surface and a fulcrum. The body defines a longitudinal axis and the fulcrum is positioned on the distal surface. The distal surface has a first end and a second end. A bone staple mount is fixed to the body and extends from the body proximate the first end. A force applicator is movably attached to the body. The force applicator has a gripping portion and a staple pin portion. The staple pin portion is positioned proximate the second end. The force applicator is configured to receive the bone staple. Upon actuation of the gripping portion, the staple pin portion bends the inter-axis of the bone staple across the fulcrum to an expanded state, wherein the first and second legs are positioned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis.

    摘要: A sliding plate variable angle locking mechanism includes a bone plate, a first sliding plate, a locking ring and a bone screw. The bone plate includes a plate cavity, a bone plate surface and a shelf. The plate hole defines a plate hole diameter. The first sliding plate a central hole that defines a sliding plate hole diameter. The sliding plate hole diameter is smaller than the plate hole diameter. The first sliding plate is positioned in the plate cavity in an assembled configuration. The locking ring is movably mountable to the bone plate. The locking ring hole diameter is greater than the sliding plate hole diameter. The bone screw head diameter is greater than the sliding plate hole diameter. The head threads are configured to form internal threads in the central hole of the first sliding plate when the bone screw is driven into the first sliding plate.

    摘要: A surgical product supply system includes a cart having a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment has first, second, third and fourth walls. The first and second walls are constructed of radio-reflective material and the third and fourth walls are constructed of a radio-absorptive material. The first compartment has a first storage area. A first RFID antenna array is attached to the first wall and is positioned within the first storage area. The first RFID antenna array includes a first plurality of RFID antennas. A second RFID antenna array is attached to the second wall and is positioned within the first storage area. The second RFID antenna array includes a second plurality of RFID antennas. The first RFID antenna is offset relative to the second RFID antenna such that opposing central axes of the first and second RFID antennas are not colinear.

    摘要: A kit of tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis tools include a metatarsal multi-tool, a first ray multi-tool, a cuneiform cut guide, and a joint compressor-distractor. The metatarsal multi-tool is configured for securement to a first metatarsal establishing an anatomic reference for carrying out a surgical procedure and guiding a surgeon to perform the metatarsal base cut. The first ray multi-tool is configured for securement to the first metatarsal using a fixation method. The first ray multi-tool is also configured to be secured to the medial cuneiform. The cuneiform cut guide is configured for removable attachment to the first ray multi-tool and is configured to guide the surgeon to perform the cuneiform head cut. The compressor-distractor is configured to apply a force to the first ray multi-tool such that the position of the first metatarsal may be adjusted toward or away from the medial cuneiform.
