Abstract
An assembly includes a surgical device (10) including a distal interface member (12) and a proximal handle (14), the distal interface member (12) including a connecting element (16) for connecting to a surgical tool (18), and a K-wire (20) that passes through a central passageway of the surgical device (10) distally through the distal interface member (12) into a lumen of the surgical tool (18). A wire depth measurement tool (30) includes a handle interface member (32) that assembles to the handle (14) and one or more graduated scales (36) that extend proximally from the handle interface member (32). The graduated scales (36) include depth graduations for indicating an amount a tip of the K-wire (20) protrudes from a distal end of the surgical tool (18).
Claims6
An assembly comprising:
- a surgical device comprising a distal interface member and a proximal handle, said distal interface member comprising a connecting element for connecting to a surgical tool, and a K-wire that passes through a central passageway of said surgical device distally through said distal interface member into a lumen of said surgical tool;
- and
- a wire depth measurement tool that comprises a handle interface member that assembles to said handle and graduated scales that extend proximally from, and are affixed to, said handle interface member, said graduated scales comprising depth graduations for indicating an amount a tip of said K-wire protrudes from a distal end of said surgical tool, and said graduated scales being separated from each other by a longitudinal gap that extends along a length of each of said graduated scales, and said K-wire extends at least partially through said longitudinal gap.
