Mounting systems

Abstract

A mounting component, kit incorporating the same and method of use are provided, for connecting a surgical procedural element to another element, with improved case of use. The mounting component comprising: a mount body provided at an end of the another element or at the end of the surgical procedural element; wherein: the mount body has a first end and a second end, the mount body has a longitudinal axis, the first end being spaced from the second end along the longitudinal axis, the mount body has a first surface profile section, the first surface profile section including a first radial profile considered perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; the mount body has a second surface profile section, the second surface profile section being closer to the second end of the mount body than the first surface profile section, the second surface profile section including a second radial profile considered perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and parallel to the first radial profile; wherein the second surface profile section is at least partially defined by one or more alignment elements and the second radial profile has a different radial profile to the first radial profile surface due to the presence of the one or more alignment elements.
