DUAL REAMER HOLDER FOR SURGICAL USE

摘要

A surgical tool holder (10) has a shank (14) having a central axis (27), a first driveable end (22) and second coupling end (16). The second end has a coupling device (24) having interfaces each for mating with corresponding structures on the inside of a hollow reamer. The interfaces mate with centering structures at or near a base end of each tool, the tool being held in functional assembly to the shank by a releasable locking mechanism. The releasable locking mechanism includes a locking sleeve (36) slideably disposed about the shank, a spring (34) biased against the coupling device by the locking sleeve, and a connection device (50, 52) retaining the locking sleeve in a fixed position during use. Release of the connection device enables quick disassembly of the locking sleeve, spring and coupling device for cleaning and component sterilization.
