ABSTRACT:
A bone preparing tool for use with a percutaneous bone access system. The bone access system penetrates the interior of a bone. The bone preparation tool allows a surgeon to prepare the interior of a bone for therapeutic treatments. The tool includes a handle, flexible rod and, bone preparation tip, which may include an off-set wedge, a banana wedge, a tapered tip, and a pedestal tip. Each tip has specialized functionality in bone preparation. The flexible rod and specialized tip are inserted through a curved cannula and employed for bone preparation. This tool is useful when implementing a variety of bone therapeutic treatments which benefit from internal bone access and preparation. Current tools are limited and cannot properly be used on bone that is healed or hardened. This invention allows a transpedicular or extrapedicular approach to a bone and provides sufficient tensile strength but flexibility to affect optimum functionality.
