Abstract

Torque limiting devices, tools comprising torque limiting devices, and methods for using torque limiting devices are disclosed. A torque limiting device can include a first and a second surface disposed in engageable relationship.
Within a predetermined torque range, the first and second surfaces can rotate together such that a torque applied to the first surface is translated to the second surface. When the torque applied exceeds a predetermined torque limit, the first and second surfaces can disengage from each other, preventing translation of the excessive torque between the surfaces and any attached implements. By freely rotating one disengaged surface relative to the other surface, the surfaces can be re-engaged to operate the device.

11. The surgical device of claim 10, wherein after becoming disengaged, the projection is re-engageable with the notch so that further rotation of the handle causes rotation of the rod and surgical implement.
12. A surgical device comprising:
a rod having a first end and a second end;
a handle positioned near the first end of the rod;
a surgical implement attached to the second end of the rod;
a first surface attached to the handle; and a second surface attached to the rod, the second surface in releasably engageable contact with the first surface such that rotation of the handle causes rotation of the rod and surgical implement, wherein when a rotational force applied to the handle exceeds a predetermined torque limit, the first surface disengages from the second surface, so that the handle is rotatable without rotation of the rod and surgical implement.
13. The surgical device of claim 12, further coinprising a housing attached to the handle and defining a cavity within which the first and second surfaces are positioned.
14. The surgical device of claim 13, the first surface comprising a first plate having a projection and the second surface comprising a second plate having a notch, wherein the projection is engageable with the notch.
15. The surgical device of claim 14, wherein the projection and the notch are substantially the same size and shape.
16. The surgical device of claim 14, further comprising a spring disposed between the housing and the first surface, the spring capable of exerting a force on the first surface to engage the projection with the notch.
17. The surgical device of claini 14, the housing further comprising a support that prevents movement of the second surface toward the second end of the rod.
18. The surgical device of claim 13, the first surface comprising a ball plunger having a ball attached at one end and the second surface comprising a disk having a depression, wherein the ball is releasably engageable with the depression.
19. The surgical device of claim 18, wherein the ball and the depression are substantially the same size and shape.
