Surgical instrument for scraping and collecting bone particles - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050104 titled 'Surgical instrument for scraping and collecting bone particles

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surgical tool designed for scraping and collecting bone particles. The tool includes a handle with a handgrip, a collection chamber with a proximal end near the handgrip and a distal end, a stem partially arranged inside the collection chamber, a blade fixed to the front end of the stem, and a spacer between the rear face of the blade and the distal end of the collection chamber. The spacer creates a passage opening for introducing the bone particles scraped by the blade into the collection chamber while maintaining a predetermined axial distance between the blade and the distal end of the chamber.

  • The surgical tool is used for scraping and collecting bone particles.
  • It includes a handle with a handgrip for easy manipulation.
  • The tool has a collection chamber with a proximal end and a distal end.
  • A stem is arranged inside the collection chamber.
  • A blade is fixed to the front end of the stem.
  • The blade protrudes radially from the stem and is positioned outside the collection chamber near its distal end.
  • A spacer is placed between the rear face of the blade and the distal end of the collection chamber.
  • The spacer creates a passage opening for introducing the scraped bone particles into the collection chamber.
  • The spacer maintains a predetermined axial distance between the blade and the distal end of the chamber.

Potential Applications

  • Orthopedic surgeries involving bone grafting or bone harvesting.
  • Dental procedures requiring bone particle collection.
  • Maxillofacial surgeries involving bone manipulation.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient collection of bone particles during surgical procedures.
  • Minimizing contamination and loss of bone particles.
  • Facilitating the scraping and collection process.

Benefits

  • Improved surgical precision and control.
  • Reduced risk of bone particle loss or contamination.
  • Enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of bone collection.
  • Simplified and streamlined surgical procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

a surgical tool () for scraping and collecting bone particles, comprising: —a handle () provided with a handgrip (); —a collection chamber () having an end proximal to the handgrip () and a free distal end; —a stem () at least partially arranged inside the collection chamber (); —a blade () fixed to a front end () of the stem (), wherein the blade () protrudes radially from the stem () and is axially arranged outside the collection chamber () near the distal end thereof; and —a spacer () interposed between a rear face () of the blade () and the distal end of the collection chamber (), wherein the spacer () defines a passage opening () for introducing the bone particles scraped by the blade () into the collection chamber (), maintaining at a predetermined non-zero axial distance, for at least a circumferential tract thereof, the rear face () of the blade () from the distal end of the collection chamber ().
