INSTRUMENT HOLDER ASSEMBLIES AND RETRACTORS FOR SPINAL SURGERY PROCEDURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009003 titled 'INSTRUMENT HOLDER ASSEMBLIES AND RETRACTORS FOR SPINAL SURGERY PROCEDURES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a spine surgical system that includes an access tool with a lumen for receiving tools or instruments. The system also includes tool guides that can wrap around and hold the tools during insertion and prevent translation during implantation. The tool guides can be customized based on the instruments. Additionally, the access tool body can be expandable to flex or bend in response to the insertion of tools within the lumen.

  • The spine surgical system includes an access tool with a lumen for receiving tools or instruments.
  • Tool guides are insertable within the access tool lumen and can wrap around and hold the tools during insertion.
  • The tool guides prevent translation of the tools during implantation, device expansion, etc.
  • Each tool guide can be customized to correspond to at least one of the instruments.
  • The access tool body is expandable and can flex or bend in response to the insertion of tools within the lumen.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Spine surgery procedures requiring multiple tools or instruments.
  • Minimally invasive spine surgeries where precise tool placement is crucial.
  • Procedures involving device expansion or implantation.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures secure and stable positioning of tools during insertion and implantation.
  • Reduces the risk of tool movement or translation during surgical procedures.
  • Provides customization options for tool guides to accommodate different instruments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in spine surgeries.
  • Enhanced safety by minimizing the risk of tool displacement.
  • Customizable tool guides for better compatibility with various instruments.
  • Expandable access tool body for flexibility during surgical procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

in some embodiments, a spine surgical system includes an access tool defining a lumen configured to receive one or more tools or instruments. the spine surgical system can further include one or more tool guides insertable within the access tool lumen and configured to wrap around and keep at least one of the tools during insertion and prevent, inhibit, or limit translation during implantation, device expansion, etc. each of the tool guides can be designed/customized based at least partially on, or otherwise configured to correspond to, at least one of the instruments. additionally, or alternatively, the access tool body can include an expandable configured to flex or bend in response to the insertion of one or more tools, such as insertable expanders, within the access tool lumen.
