Orthognathic bending pliers

摘要

A bending tool can be configured to bend an orthopedic implant and includes a first jaw assembly and a second jaw assembly. The first jaw assembly includes a first base and a first adjustment member that is movably coupled to the first base. The second jaw assembly is movably coupled to the second jaw assembly. The second jaw assembly includes a second base and a second adjustment member that is movably coupled to the second base.

主权项

1. A bending tool that is configured to bend an orthopedic implant that includes a first implant portion and a second implant portion, the bending tool comprising:
a first jaw; a second jaw spaced from the first jaw along a longitudinal direction, the second jaw being movably coupled to the first jaw such that the first and second jaws are movable with respect to each other along the longitudinal direction, wherein a gap is defined between the first and second jaws, the second jaw includes a first side and a second side that is spaced from the first side along a lateral direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the first side defines a first side surface, the second side defines a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall that is spaced from the first lateral wall along the lateral direction and a transverse direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal and lateral directions, a first distance is defined from the first side surface to the first lateral wall along the lateral direction, and a second distance is defined from the first side surface to the second lateral wall along the lateral direction; and a roller that is configured to move along the first and second lateral walls along the longitudinal direction so as to apply a force to a portion of the orthopedic implant that is disposed outside the gap, thereby bending the orthopedic implant such that the first implant portion is offset relative to the second implant portion by an offset distance, the offset distance is substantially defined by the first distance when a portion of the orthopedic implant that is disposed in the gap is substantially aligned with the first lateral wall along the transverse direction or by the second distance when the portion of the orthopedic implant that is disposed in the gap is substantially aligned with the second lateral wall along the transverse direction.
