Abstract
Surgical instruments for cutting surgical components either in situ or ex situ are disclosed. The surgical instruments can include a translating anvil that can be driven relative to an outer sleeve by a rotating an inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve can be separable into a distal tip and a proximal base tube that can be modularly coupled to one another and selectively locked against separation. A distal portion of the outer sleeve can include a hooked shape with an opening to receive a rod or other component therein that can be selectively closed by a pivoting capture arm. Actuation of the instrument can occur by manual user power or by powered instrument, such as a driver. The outer sleeve can interface with additional instruments or components, such as a counter-torque handle, to prevent rotation thereof during actuation of the inner sleeve relative thereto.
