Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011151828A2] A surgical implement for use in a surgical procedure involving the manipulation of a wire or like article in a body cavity. The surgical implement includes: an elongated stem; a handle carried at its proximal end and a socket, in the form of a removable insert, carried at its distal end. The socket is configured for insertion into a body cavity during the surgical procedure and for receiving the wire or like article. An actuator is carried by the elongated stem and is movable from a normal position closing the socket at the distal end of the elongated stem, to an actuated position opening the socket. A finger-piece carried by the actuator adjacent the handle so as to be conveniently engageable by a user, while gripping the handle, to move the actuator from its normal position closing the socket, to its actuated position opening the socket. A spring urges the actuator to its normal position closing the socket. The described preferred embodiment is an implement for a knee reconstruction procedure, wherein the socket is configured to enter through a lateral-medial portal of the knee into the intercondylar notch of the femur bone for forming the femoral tunnel.
