Abstract

A tool for removing circular trackers attached to tracking array posts. The tool includes a tubular body and a driver tube sized to be received in the tubular body. The distal portion of the tubular body and driver tube has respective first and second apertures that are circumferentially partially open in a lateral direction for receiving the circular tracker. The two apertures cooperate with each other such that when the second aperture is rotated relative to the first aperture, the circular tracker is enclosed within the driver tube and the tubular body for removal without pulling on the tracking array or the post.
