Alignment and identification tools and methods for dental and / or craniomaxillofacial surgical instruments and / or general surgical instruments

摘要

A dental and / or craniomaxillofacial surgical instrument and / or a general surgical instrument (100) alignment and identification tool (1) is provided on the body (2) and optically detectable and on the body (2). A concave marker member (3) and a recess (4) extending from the outer surface of the body (2) to the inside of the body (2), thereby defining the extension direction of the recess (4). And the recess (4) is shaped such that the lateral extent of the recess (4) decreases from the outer surface of the body (2) toward the inside of the body (2). A method for alignment and identification of an instrument (100) includes placing a surgical tool (102) of a surgical instrument (100) in a recess (4) of the tool (1) and removing the surgical tool (102) from a recess ( Pivoting the surgical instrument (100) with respect to the marker member (3) while being placed inside the (4); performing a process of detecting relative movement of the surgical instrument (100); Identifying the geometric features of (102) and / or aligning the relative position of the surgical tool (102) with respect to the rest of the surgical instrument (100) using the results of the detection process. .
