A quick connect is disclosed for a medical device. The quick connect includes a housing, a slide lock mounted within the housing, and a locking assembly mounted within the housing. The slide lock is for receiving a cooperating connection adapter. The locking assembly includes a substantially annular member having a superiorly facing sloped recess. The substantially annular member is movable along a longitudinal axis of the housing upon rotation of the substantially annular member.

A striking apparatus and method is described for enhancing the surgical removal of medical devices, such as surgical screws and the like. The striking apparatus may include an elongated body that may include an annular distal end, a neck extending from the elongated body; and a fastener extending from the neck. The elongated body may include a first tapering portion extending from the annular distal end and a second tapering portion extending from the first tapering portion. The first tapering portion may be an annular first tapering portion. The striking apparatus may detachably couple with a medical extractor, thus providing additional force to the extracting mechanism provided by the extracting tool.

A surgical extractor including an extractor device having a proximal end and a distal end, a first jaw and a second jaw configured to engage a fastener and carried at the distal end of the extractor device, and a ratchet handle device extending from the proximal end of the extractor device.

A power adapter includes an adapter shaft having a first end for coupling to a rotary tool and a second end configured to be coupled to a working tool. Additionally, the second end includes a slot. The power adapter also includes a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the second end of the adapter shaft. The locking mechanism includes a dowel pin movable between a first position and a second position within the slot.

An implant extractor that includes an elongated body having a proximal end for attachment to an extraction device, a first arm extending from the elongated body, and a second arm pivotably connected to the first arm. The second arm includes a moment arm for generating a torque about a distal end of the second arm. The implant extractor further includes a force applicator operatively connected to the first arm and the moment arm to apply a force to one or more of the first and second arms.

A trephine is provided. The trephine includes a hole saw sized to accommodate an implant, the hole saw having: a cylindrical body having a proximal end, a distal end and an outer surface, a plurality of circumferentially spaced cutting teeth at the distal end of the cylindrical body, and a plurality of helical grooves on the outer surface of the cylindrical body; and a quick connect coupled to the proximal end of the cylindrical body for releasably connecting to a cooperating quick connector of a tool.

A handle assembly is disclosed for firmly holding a surgical tool. The handle assembly comprises a handle and a locking mechanism attached to the handle. The locking mechanism includes a locking ring, a collet, and a compressible locking pin engageable with the locking ring and collet. The locking ring is moveable between first and second positions relative to the handle. The first position is an unlocked position whereby the locking pin is in a decompressed state relative to the locking ring and the collet. In the first position, a surgical tool may be inserted and withdrawn from the collet of the locking mechanism. The second position is a locked position whereby the locking pin is in a compressed state relative to the locking ring and the collet. In the second position, a surgical tool is anchored in the collet of the locking mechanism.
