Abstract:
A surgical instrument assembly includes a frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the frame system. The frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

Claim (Index 1):
A surgical instrument assembly comprising\n a guidance frame system comprising,\n a rigid cross bar, \n an adjustable connector slidably engaged on the rigid cross bar, \n a rigid support bar interconnected with and adjustably positionable relative to the rigid cross bar, and \n an adjustable pivot assembly, \n wherein the rigid cross bar is adapted for fixed attachment to a surgical support surface, \n wherein the rigid support bar is adapted at a first end for slidable and lockable engagement with the adjustable connector and is adapted at a second end for lockable engagement with one or more of the adjustable pivot assembly and a surgical tool, and wherein the adjustable connector is adapted for engagement with the cross bar, and is adjustable to allow positional adjustment of an engaged rigid support bar by one or more ranges of motion selected from:\n translational adjustment along an elongate axis and between a first and second end of the rigid cross bar; \n translational adjustment along a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the elongate axis of the rigid cross bar; \n translational adjustment along a vertical axis that is perpendicular to the elongate axis of the rigid cross bar; \n rotational adjustment around the elongate axis of the rigid cross bar; \n rotational adjustment around the vertical axis that is perpendicular to the elongate axis of the rigid cross bar; and \n rotational adjustment around the horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the elongate axis of the rigid cross bar; \n a surgical tool engageable with one or more of the rigid support bar and the adjustable pivot assembly.
