Abstract
An orthopedic device holder and related kit are disclosed. The orthopedic device holder can include a body portion having a proximal end and a distal end, the body portion defining a bore positioned between the proximal end and the distal end, a plunger portion having a proximal end and a distal end, the plunger portion extending into an opening of the body portion and defining a second bore, and a locking lever that, when activated, is configured to move between a first position and a second position and transition the first bore and the second bore from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration.
Claims17
An orthopedic device holder, comprising:
- a body portion having a proximal end and a distal end, the body portion defining a first bore extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body portion, the body portion including at least one opening extending into an interior of the first bore;
- a plunger portion extending into a channel of the body portion and defining a second bore, the plunger portion including at least one opening extending into an interior of the second bore;
- a locking bar operably coupled to the body portion and moveable between a first position and a second position, such that in the first position, the locking bar is in a locked configuration with respect to the first bore and in the second position, the locking bar is in an unlocked configuration with respect to the first bore;
- a locking sleeve slidably mounted on the plunger portion and moveable between a first position and a second position, such that in the first position, the locking sleeve is in a locked configuration with respect to the second bore, and in the second position, the locking sleeve is in an unlocked configuration with respect to the second bore;
- and
- a locking lever operably coupled to the body portion and configured to move between a first position and a second position to simultaneously transition the locking sleeve and the locking bar from the respective first positions to the respective second positions.
