Medical device
The present disclosure is directed to a medical device. The medical device can include a body having a first extension and having a second extension. The first extension can have a first adapter and the second extension can have a second adapter. The first adapter and the second adapter can couple with at least one tensioning assembly to cause the body to pivot from a first position to a second position.
1 . A medical device, comprising:
a body having a first extension and having a second extension, the first extension having a first adapter and the second extension having a second adapter;
the first adapter includes a first protrusion having a first opening and the second adapter includes a second protrusion having a second opening;
the first opening of the first adapter to couple with a first line of a tensioning assembly and the second opening of the second adapter to couple with a second line of the tensioning assembly to couple the first adapter and the second adapter with the tensioning assembly; and
the tensioning assembly to cause the body to pivot by the first adapter and the second adapter from a first position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a first position axis, to a second position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a second position axis that is at an angle relative to the first position axis.
2 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the first extension and the second extension extend parallel with a longitudinal axis of the body between a first end of the body and a second end of the body.
3 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the first line of the tensioning assembly coupled with a first connector, the first opening of the first adapter to receive a portion of the first connector to couple the first line with the first adapter; and
the second line of the tensioning assembly coupled with a second connector, the second opening of the second adapter to receive a portion of the second connector to couple the second line with the second adapter.
4 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the body to couple with a pin, and
the pin having a diameter in a range of 1-4 mm.
5 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the first adapter monolithically formed with the first extension of the body.
6 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the first adapter coupled with the first extension of the body by a fastener.
7 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the first adapter recessed into a portion of the first extension, the first adapter to extend outward from the first extension.
8 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the angle is in a range of 15-165 degrees between the first position axis and the second position axis.
9 . The medical device of claim 1 , comprising:
the first opening of the first adapter including one of a slot, a hole, or a space formed by a rod extending between two portions of the first adapter.
10 . A method, comprising:
providing a medical device including a body having a first extension and having a second extension, the first extension having a first adapter, the second extension having a second adapter, the first adapter including a first protrusion having a first opening and the second adapter including a second protrusion having a second opening;
receiving, by the first opening of the first adapter, a portion of a first line of a tensioning assembly to couple the first adapter with the tensioning assembly;
receiving, by the second opening of the second adapter, a portion of a second line of the tensioning assembly to couple the second adapter with the tensioning assembly; and
applying a force to the tensioning assembly to cause the body to pivot from a first position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a first position axis, to a second position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a second position axis that is at an angle relative to the first position axis.
11 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the first extension and the second extension extend parallel with a longitudinal axis of the body between a first end of the body and a second end of the body.
12 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the first line of the tensioning assembly including a first connector, the first opening of the first adapter to receive the first line via the first connector; and
the second line of the tensioning assembly including a second connector, the second opening of the second adapter to receive the second line via the second connector.
13 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the body to couple with a pin; and
the pin having a diameter in a range of 1-4 mm.
14 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the first adapter monolithically formed with the first extension of the body.
15 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the first adapter coupled with the first extension of the body by a fastener.
16 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the first adapter recessed into a portion of the first extension, the first adapter to extend outward from the first extension.
17 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the angle is in a range of 15-165 degrees between the first position axis and the second position axis.
18 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
the first opening of the first adapter including one of a slot, a hole, or a space formed by a rod extending between two portions of the first adapter.
19 . An adapter, comprising:
a protrusion configured to couple with a body of a medical device;
an opening configured to receive a line of a tensioning assembly to couple with the tensioning assembly; and
the adapter to cause the body to pivot between a first position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a first position axis, to a second position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a second position axis that is at an angle relative to the first position axis, responsive to a force applied to the tensioning assembly.
20 . The adapter of claim 19 , comprising:
the protrusion to couple with the body of the medical device by at least one of a fastener or a tab.
