Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2909546A1] The awl (3) has a bend (4) connected between a proximal mounting base (5) and a distal handling finger (6) terminated by a free end (10) of the awl. A truncated cone shaped distal section (9) of the base, the bend, and the finger constitute a portion or a succession of portions (11). The portions are uniformly thinned on their entire length in a direction of the free end, and respectively have widths (d6, d9) decreasing based on linear decreasing rates that increase in the direction of the free end. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a surgical micromanipulator comprising an awl (2) a method of fabricating an awl of a surgical micromanipulator.
