Abstract
A flexible surgical screw driver comprises a rotatable handle member, a shaft member and a flexible member. The handle member is configured with a first coupling means and the shaft member with a second coupling means. These first and second coupling means are configured to cooperate such that the handle member and the shaft member are angularly displaceable relative to each other and such that said handle member and said shaft member are non-rotatably coupled to each other for driving a screw with rotation transmitted from the handle member. The flexible member is configured to connect the handle member and the shaft member to each other and hold said handle member and said shaft member together such that the longitudinal axes thereof are substantially aligned and such that angular displacement of the handle member and the shaft member relative to each other such that the longitudinal axes thereof are misaligned, can be performed against the action of said flexible member.
