Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a K-wire driver, particularly to a K-wire driver that interfaces with a drill equipped with a quick-connect mechanism, such as a surgical drill, and more particularly to a K-wire driver that is adapted to interface with a drill equipped with a quick-connect mechanism, such as a surgical drill, without changing modules on the drill or using a dedicated K-wire driver (i.e. with the same shaped interface engaging with the quick-connect for the K-wire as for the drill bit). Utilizing a K-wire mechanism with a quick-connect, with associated stabilization and concentricity, is desirable so that the same driver (e.g. surgical drill) with the quick-connect mechanism which can accommodate drill bits may likewise accommodate K-wire drivers of the present invention without removal of the quick-connect mechanism or module (the latter of which is required in all known present such models which interchangeably accommodate K-wire drivers vs. drilling), hence precluding the complexity (and need for reuse/re-sterilization) and associated cost of disposing what is typically a reused K-wire module/drill assembly.
