Abstract

The present invention relates to a wire driver for inserting a wire into bone. The wire driver includes a housing having proximal and distal ends, with a handpiece extending to the proximal end. The handpiece is connected to a gripping portion, which extends to the distal end. A channel extends through the gripping portion and is connected to a gripping mechanism. A drive mechanism within the handpiece is connected to the channel. The drive mechanism is configured to rotate the channel when actuated by a first actuator positioned on the handpiece (which can be on the distal end of the handpiece). A second actuator is connected to the gripping portion and the gripping mechanism. The second actuator is movable between a relaxed position and a compressed position. The user can operate both first and second actuators with the same handpiece grip. The gripping portion and the second actuator are rotatable relative to the housing and first actuator.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 654,618, filed April 9, 2018, entitled "Pencil-Grip Wire Driver Operated With Distally Located Actuator," which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this article. Background technique [0003] 1. technical field [0004] The present invention relates generally to wire drivers for inserting wires into bone, and more particularly to wire drivers having a distal actuator and a rotation mechanism. [0005] 2. Related technical description [0006] A wire driver is a surgical device that inserts a wire into the bone. A pencil grip line driver is a device shaped such that the device is generally held like a pencil using techniques such as cylindrical grip, digital grip, modified tripod grip, or tripod grip. A pencil grip cord driver has an internal mechanism that grips the cord and provides rotational force to the cord. T...
