Surgical tool holder

摘要

A device for holding a surgical tool comprising a base extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end is configured for engagement with a body of a patient to stabilize the device. A retaining portion is disposed at a fixed angle relative to the longitudinal axis and includes an inner surface defining a passageway configured to receive the surgical tool and hold the surgical tool at the fixed angle. A locking element is configured to apply a clamping force to the retaining element such that translation of the surgical tool is prevented in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.

1. A device for holding at least one surgical tool comprising:
a base extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being configured for engagement with a body of a patient to stabilize the device; a retaining portion disposed at the proximal end of the base, the retaining portion defining a first passageway extending transverse to the longitudinal axis; and an insert configured for disposal in the first passageway, and including an inner surface defining a second passageway configured to receive at least a portion of the at least one surgical tool, the second passageway extending at one of at least two fixed angles relative to the longitudinal axis such that the at least a portion of the at least one surgical tool is disposed at the one of at least two fixed angles when the at least a portion of the at least one surgical tool is disposed in the second passageway; wherein the at least two fixed angles, define angulation in at least two planes for the at least one surgical tool; and wherein the insert is removable and the first passageway is configured to receive a plurality of the inserts, each of the inserts in the plurality of the inserts defining one of a plurality of passageways, each passageway in the plurality of passageways being disposed at one of a plurality of different fixed angles relative to the longitudinal axis in the at least two planes for the at least one surgical tool.
