<p>Dislodging an anchor sleeve (10) from an implanted device (110) may be accomplished with a tool (200) that includes a support portion (21) and a sleeve dislodging element (221), wherein a collar (201) of the support portion engages a distal end of the anchor sleeve while the dislodging element, positioned at a proximal end of the sleeve, is moved toward the collar to dislodge the anchor sleeve. The tool includes a handle member (210) held in sliding engagement with a base member (220), wherein the support portion is part of the handle member, and a distal segment (222) of the base member is terminated by the dislodging element. A tool kit may include a plurality of base members, each one including a different type of dislodging element, from which an operator may select for snap- fitting to a handle member of the kit.</p> |
