摘要:
An apparatus is disclosed for mounting or dismounting a device on a mounting surface, for example, the mounting surface of a rail, a molded clip or the like. The apparatus includes a body. To accommodate attachment of the apparatus to the rail, at least a portion of the body can be movably positioned adjacent to the mounting surface. The apparatus also includes a locating feature connected with the body. The locating feature includes a first position that maintains a position of the body during a manufacturing operation and a second position that allows the body to move between an open position and a closed position, for example, after the manufacturing operation has been completed.

Some introducer tools for bone portals have a handle coupled to a driving member by a force-limiting coupling. A bone portal comprising a bone-penetrating portion and a bone stop may be driven to a desired depth in bone when the force-limiting coupling allows application of force to the bone portal that is sufficient to drive the bone-penetrating portion of the portal into the bone but not sufficient to drive the bone stop significantly into the bone. Bone portals of various types are described herein. Various configurations for stylets suitable for use in introducing bone portals or otherwise penetrating bone and methods for inserting bone portals are also described herein.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for introducing portals into bone is described herein. An example apparatus for introducing portals into bone includes a handle, a base, and a driving member. The driving member can be made to project past the base by operating the handle. The base is detachable from the handle. The apparatus also includes a guide coupled at a first end to the handle and at a second end to the base. The base is detachably coupled to the guide. A base coupling detachably coupling the base to the guide includes an actuating member movable between a coupled configuration wherein the base is coupled to the guide and an uncoupled configuration wherein the base is released from the guide. The actuating member is arranged so that motion of the handle toward the base moves the actuating member from the coupled configuration to the uncoupled configuration.
