Patent Issued for Pressure activated surgical tool for use in spinal decompression procedures and methods of using the same (USPTO 12016577).

Spinal Innovations LLC has been issued a patent for a pressure-activated surgical tool designed for use in spinal decompression procedures. The tool is intended to relieve spinal stenosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal or intervertebral foramina, which can compress nerves and the spinal cord. The tool utilizes a drill bit and drive shaft that rotate in a clockwise direction, with an engagement system that selectively engages and disengages the drill bit based on the resistance encountered. The tool can be controlled by a robotic arm, offering improved accuracy and effectiveness in surgical procedures. [Extracted from the article]
