Abstract
An adapter device for a surgical instrument includes an adapter member connectable to and separable from the surgical instrument, the adapter member having a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, and a connection structure configured to connect to the surgical instrument, and a mounting member connectable to and separable from the adapter member for mounting an additional instrument to the adapter member.
Claims20
An adapter device for a non-implantable surgical instrument, the adapter device comprising:
- an adapter member connectable to and separable from the surgical instrument, the adapter member having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, and comprising a first connection structure at the first end configured to connect directly to the surgical instrument in a direction of the longitudinal axis and a second connection structure at the second end;
- and
- a mounting member connectable to the adapter member in an unlatched and rotatable manner and separable from the adapter member, wherein the mounting member comprises an engagement surface configured to mount an additional instrument to the adapter member;
- wherein the mounting member defines a cylindrical recess extending therethrough to receive the adapter member and is devoid of any other projections or recesses that are configured to engage with another portion of the adapter device to hold a relative position of the mounting member to the adapter member.

A system comprising:
- a non-implantable surgical instrument configured to facilitate implantation of an implant into a patient;
- an adapter device comprising an adapter member connectable to and separable from the surgical instrument, the adapter member having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, and comprising a first connection structure at the first end configured to connect directly to the surgical instrument in a direction of the longitudinal axis and a second connection structure at the second end, and a mounting member connectable to and separable from the adapter member, wherein the mounting member comprises an engagement surface configured to mount an additional instrument to a lateral side of the adapter member;
- and
- a holder releasably attachable to the engagement surface of the mounting member and to extend laterally away from the longitudinal axis of the adapter device.

A system comprising:
- a non-implantable surgical instrument configured to facilitate implantation of an implant into a patient;
- an adapter member connectable to and separable from the surgical instrument, the adapter member having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, and comprising a first connection structure at the first end configured to connect directly to the surgical instrument in a direction of the longitudinal axis and a second connection structure at the second end;
- a first mounting member connectable to and separable from the adapter member, wherein the first mounting member comprises an engagement surface configured to mount an additional instrument to a lateral side of the adapter member, and defines a recess extending therethrough to receive the adapter member, and wherein a body of the first mounting member defining the recess has a first axial length;
- a second mounting member connectable to and separable from the adapter member, wherein the second mounting member defines a recess extending therethrough to receive the adapter member, and wherein a body of the second mounting member defining the recess has an axial length that is different from the first axial length;
- and
- an adjustment member connectable to the adapter member in a manner such that the first and second mounting members are configured to be interchangeably connectable to and held to the adapter member by the adjustment member.
