Implant Removal Instrument

An implant extraction instrument comprising:

• a handle member including a shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal end;
• a grip member movably attached to the shaft proximate the distal end of the shaft, the grip member including a gripping arm configured to hold an implant;
• a biasing member with a first end connected to the shaft and a second end connected to the grip member,
• wherein when the grip member is attached to an implant in a patient, the shaft is movable relative to the grip member such that when the shaft is pushed toward the grip member, at least a portion of a force in the shaft that is associated with the pushing is absorbed by the biasing member, and when the shaft is pulled away from the grip member, a force in the shaft that is associated with the pulling is transferred to the grip member.

An implant extraction instrument comprising:

• an outer shaft having an elongate dimension extending along a central longitudinal axis;
• an inner shaft movably disposed in the outer shaft, the inner shaft including a proximal portion and a distal portion translatable relative to the proximal portion, the distal portion including a tip protrusion extending transversely relative to the central longitudinal axis;
• and
• a clamp arm rotatably attached to the outer shaft, the clamp arm including an end portion moveable relative to the tip protrusion,
• wherein the tip protrusion and the end portion are configured to be movable to grip an object therebetween.
