Surgical insertion tool and guide system

摘要

An insertion tool (10) has a curved fastener guide (14a;14b) for allowing a user to safely insert bone fasteners (42) and associated tools at the surgical site for securing an implant device (40) to a bone body. The insertion tool has an elongate cannula (12) and attachment shaft (18) coupled to the distal end of the fastener guide. The attachment shaft can be docked to an implant device and the insertion tool can be used to locate the implant device at the surgical site. The fastener guide can be aligned with fastener holes in the implant device for accurate placement of the bone fasteners.
