LINEAR ELECTRIC SURGICAL HAMMER IMPACT TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024012 titled 'LINEAR ELECTRIC SURGICAL HAMMER IMPACT TOOL

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes linear electric surgical hammer impact tools and their methods of use. These tools consist of a housing with a cavity, inside which a shuttle is located. The shuttle has grooves that extend from one end to the other. A piston is also present within the shuttle and arranged along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The piston includes protrusions that travel within the grooves of the shuttle. When the piston moves in one direction, it contacts the first end of the shuttle, and when it moves in the opposite direction, it contacts the second end of the shuttle.

  • The patent application describes a linear electric surgical hammer impact tool with a shuttle and a piston.
  • The shuttle has grooves that run from one end to the other.
  • The piston includes protrusions that travel within the grooves of the shuttle.
  • Motion of the piston in one direction causes it to contact the first end of the shuttle, while motion in the opposite direction causes it to contact the second end of the shuttle.

Potential Applications:

  • Surgical procedures requiring precise and controlled impact tools.
  • Orthopedic surgeries involving bone shaping or fracture reduction.
  • Neurosurgery for delicate bone removal or dissection.
  • Dental procedures requiring controlled impact on teeth or bone.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a linear electric surgical hammer impact tool for precise and controlled impact.
  • Offers a mechanism for transmitting motion from the piston to the shuttle.
  • Reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues during surgical procedures.
  • Enables efficient and accurate bone shaping or fracture reduction.

Benefits:

  • Improved surgical precision and control.
  • Reduced risk of collateral damage to surrounding tissues.
  • Enhanced efficiency and accuracy in bone shaping or fracture reduction.
  • Facilitates delicate bone removal or dissection in neurosurgery.
  • Provides controlled impact in dental procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed herein are linear electric surgical hammer impact tools and methods of use thereof. the linear electric surgical hammer impact tools can include a shuttle located inside a cavity of a housing. a wall of the shuttle defines a plurality of grooves extend from a first end of the shuttle to a second end of the shuttle. a piston can be located at least partially within the shuttle and arranged along the longitudinal axis of the housing. the piston includes protrusions and each of the protrusions can be arranged to travel within a respective one of the grooves of the shuttle. motion of the piston in a first direction causes the piston to contact the first end of the shuttle and motion of the piston in a second direction causes the piston to contact the second end of the shuttle.
