Patent attributes
An instrument includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve positioned in the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve defines a cavity. The shaft extends through the inner sleeve and includes a drive. A latch is positioned in the cavity. An inner sheath extends through an outer sheath and has a proximal end positioned between the inner sleeve and the shaft and a distal end comprising a threaded surface. The proximal end of the inner sheath includes a groove. The inner sleeve is movable relative to the outer sleeve to move the instrument between a first orientation in which the latch is positioned in the groove and the sheaths are prevented from translating relative to the outer sleeve and a second orientation in which the latch is spaced apart from the groove and the sheaths are translatable relative to the outer sleeve. Systems, implants and methods are disclosed.
