Abstract
The instant invention teaches a surgical implant wrench that includes: a handle; a head for mechanically engaging the handle at an angle relative thereto, that further includes: finger grip indents disposed thereon; and, a first mechanical assembly for rotatably engaging the crown of a surgical implant that is to be surgically implanted into the boney tissue of a patient. The wrench further includes: a second mechanical assembly for selectively varying the angle; a third mechanical assembly for selectively fixing the angle; and, a fourth mechanical assembly including finger grips for mechanically transmitting rotational mechanical force relative to the axis of the handle, from the handle to the first mechanical assembly.
Claims6
A surgical implant wrench comprising:
- a handle;
- a head for mechanically engaging said handle at an angle relative thereto, including,
- finger grip indents disposed thereon;
- and,
- a first mechanical assembly for rotatably engaging the crown of a surgical implant that is to be surgically implanted into the boney tissue of a patient;
- a second mechanical assembly for selectively varying said angle;
- a third mechanical assembly for selectively fixing said angle;
- and,
- a fourth mechanical assembly including finger grips for mechanically transmitting rotational mechanical force relative to the axis of said handle, from said handle to said first mechanical assembly.
A surgical implant wrench comprising:
- a handle;
- a head for mechanically engaging said handle at an angle relative thereto, including,
- finger grip indents disposed thereon;
- and,
- a first mechanical assembly for rotatably engaging the crown of a surgical implant, selected from the group consisting of:
- a dental implant and a orthopedic implant;
- that is to be surgically implanted into the boney tissue of a patient;
- a second mechanical assembly for selectively varying said angle, including:
- a universal joint disposed between said handle and said head, further functioning for enabling said transmitting;
- a third mechanical assembly for selectively fixing said angle including:
- an array of bored holes disposed on the periphery of said head where said handle engages said head;
- and,
- a slidable pin mounted on said handle for selectively inserting into one of said bored holes sufficient to selectively fix said angle;
- and,
- a fourth mechanical assembly including finger grips for mechanically transmitting rotational mechanical force relative to the axis of said handle, from said handle to said first mechanical assembly.
A method for installing a surgical implant in the boney tissue of a patient, comprising:
- providing a surgical implant wrench that includes:
- a handle;
- a head for mechanically engaging said handle at an angle relative thereto, including, finger grip indents disposed thereon;
- and, a first mechanical assembly for rotatably engaging the crown of a surgical implant that is to be surgically implanted into the boney tissue of a patient;
- a second mechanical assembly for selectively varying said angle;
- a third mechanical assembly for selectively fixing said angle;
- and, a fourth mechanical assembly including finger grips for mechanically transmitting rotational mechanical force relative to the axis of said handle, from said handle to said first mechanical assembly;
- positioning said implant at a desired point on said boney tissue;
- engaging said crown with said first mechanical assembly;
- varying said angle to a desired inclination;
- fixing said angle;
- causing the operator of said wrench to grasp said head at said finger grip indents with one hand;
- causing said operator to grasp said finger grips of said fourth mechanical assembly with the other hand of said operator;
- and,
- causing said operator to rotate said fourth mechanical assembly sufficient to enable installation of said implant.
