    Cranial perforator
    1. Field of the invention
    The field of the invention is that of surgical instruments.
    More specifically, the invention relates to surgical tools which are conventionally used by neurosurgeons so as to make perforations in the skull of patients suffering from certain pathologies, after the tissues covering the area of the skull to be perforated have been previously removed and that it was scraped. It is generally performed at least three trepanations, or piercing of the skull, which are followed by sawing between each hole in the drill bit so as to remove a cranial flap and thus clear a pathway.
    Such tools are usually called cranial perforators or drill bits and are intended to be connected at the end of an apparatus or a surgical motor, capable of animating them with a rotational movement.
    2. Prior art
    The cranial perforators of the prior art generally include two burs. A first cutter, or "small" cutter is housed inside a second cutter or "large" cutter, so that the cutting area of the first cutter slightly protrudes from the cutting area of the second cutter. A general principle of their use for the perforation of a skull is to first apply the first cutter against the surface of the skull to be perforated by exerting a certain pressure, which engages the first cutter with the surgical motor to which the perforator cranial is connected. Then, the surgical motor is started, which rotates the first cutter and the second cutter, the second cutter being integral with the first cutter. When the first cutter is close to having passed through the bone mass of the skull, the resistance to its progression decreases, which disengages the first cutter from the surgical motor. Although the surgical motor continues to rotate, both the first milling cutter and the second milling cutter stop rotating. This allows in particular not to damage the dura mater which adheres to the bone inside the cranial box.
    The cranial perforators of the prior art conventionally consist of a large number of parts assembled together. The multiplicity of these parts makes the cranial perforators of the prior art complicated to manufacture / machine and to assemble.
    In addition, the multiplicity of parts implies a cumulative uncertainty on the dimensioning of each part and a cumulative uncertainty on the positioning of each part in relation to the other.
    Finally the disengagement of the first cutter with the surgical motor is quite slow compared to the drilling speed, which can lead under certain conditions to more or less significant damage to the dura mater.
    The general structure of one of these cranial perforators has in particular been described in a French patent application published under the number FR 2919991. Such a structure is shown schematically in Figure 1.
    The cranial perforator 200 shown in Figure 1 comprises a rotating element 201 forming a housing, one end of which can be connected to a surgical motor (not shown) used to obtain the rotation of the rotating element 201. L 'rotating element 201 has a first bore 220, a portion 225 of which is tapped.
    An intermediate ring 301 is screwed into the threaded portion 225 of the rotating element 201. The intermediate ring 301 is traversed in the middle by a bore 311 which extends essentially along its longitudinal axis. This intermediate ring 301 is made of bronze because the bronze has good resistance to friction and good lubricity.
    A transmission rod 401 is slidably movable mounted inside this bore 311 so that it can be translated and pivoted there. A first end of the transmission rod 401 has a shoulder 411 whose outside diameter is greater than the diameter of the bore 311 so that the transmission rod 401 cannot be translated inside the bore 311 beyond a certain measured.
    A first cutter 510 is screwed to a threaded portion 422 of the second end of the transmission rod 401.
    A compression ball 601 is interposed between the first cutter 510 and the second end of the transmission rod 401.
    A second milling cutter 520, inside which is housed the first milling cutter 510, is linked in rotation to the first milling cutter 510. For this purpose, the first 510 and second milling cutters respectively have elements of complementary shape (not shown) likely to engage so that the rotation of the first cutter 510 causes the rotation of the second cutter 520.
    Clutch means 350 between the first cutter 510 and the intermediate ring 301 allowing in a engaged position that the first cutter 510 is linked in rotation with the intermediate ring 301 when the rotating element 201 is rotated and, in a position rest that the first cutter 510 is not linked in rotation with the intermediate ring 301 when the rotary element 510 is rotated;
    A compression spring 701 is disposed between a housing 428 formed for this purpose at the first end of the transmission rod 401 and a receptacle 228 formed for this purpose at the end of the first bore 220 of the rotating element 201. 11 allows passage from the engaged position to the rest position when the axial force exerted on the first cutter is not sufficient.
    The rotating element 201 has a second bore 240 inside which the second milling cutter 520 is housed. The second bore 240 has a shoulder 246 along which the second cutter 520 is capable of coming into abutment.
    However, a cranial perforator such as that shown in Figure 1 has many disadvantages.
    comprises a total of seven different parts: a first cutter 510, a second cutter 520, a compression ball 601, a transmission rod 401, an intermediate ring 301, a compression spring 701 and a rotating element 201.11 resulting in manufacturing complexity. / machining and the complexity of assembling the parts together. It also results in a possible accumulation of dimensioning errors on each of the parts, causing a deviation of the chain of dimensions of the different parts of the cranial perforator between them. In addition, apart from sizing errors, the deviation of the dimension chain can also be accentuated by poor assembly. Poor assembly can in particular result from incomplete screwing between parts. However, the cranial perforator of Figure 1 comprises two screwing of parts together. The consequences of an excessive deviation of the chain of dimensions of the parts of the cranial perforator can be a lack of reliability of the cranial perforator for piercing the skull, or even if the deviation is too large, a danger of the cranial perforator for piercing the skull.
    The intermediate ring 301 in bronze is, in particular, not very advantageous. As already mentioned, it is a source of a possible positioning error in the cranial perforator during assembly, in particular because of a possible incomplete screwing inside the rotating element 201. In addition, it has a large area of friction with the transmission rod 401. In addition, bronze is not a biocompatible material and it is preferable not to use it, microparticles being able to be projected when the cranial perforator perforates a skull. Finally, as the cranial perforator of Figure 1 can easily be disassembled by unscrewing and / or disengaging the different parts, it can ultimately be reused several times after sterilization in an autoclave of all the parts constituting it. However, although sterilized in an autoclave, the strawberries of the cranial perforator can still transmit the Creutzfeldt-Jakob prion. It is therefore necessary to guarantee the single use of the cranial perforator.
    3. Objectives of the invention
    The invention aims to overcome at least some of the disadvantages of the prior art.
    An objective of the invention is to provide a cranial perforator which has an optimized structure and which is reliable and safe when piercing a skull.
    In particular, an objective of the invention is to provide a cranial perforator which contains a limited number of parts.
    Another objective of the invention is, according to at least certain advantageous embodiments, to provide a cranial perforator comprising parts that are simple to manufacture / machine.

    Another objective is, according to at least certain advantageous embodiments, to provide a cranial perforator whose structure guarantees a single use.
    Another objective of the invention is, according to at least certain advantageous embodiments, to provide a cranial perforator having an improved clutch.
    4. Statement of the invention
    The invention relates to a cranial perforator comprising: a rotary element, a first cutter, a second cutter, clutch means between the first cutter and the rotary element, disengagement means between the first cutter and the rotary element and a housing.
    The rotating element is adapted to be fixed to a driving element.
    The first milling cutter and the second milling cutter are able to rotate around the same axis and to move in translation along this axis. They each have a plurality of teeth at one of their ends. The first cutter is housed inside the second cutter. The first milling cutter comprises at least a first bearing surface capable of coming into abutment against the second milling cutter when the first milling cutter is rotated about its axis and, at least one second bearing surface capable of coming into abutment against the second cutter when the first cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the rotating element along its axis.
    The clutch means arranged on the first cutter and the rotating element allow in a engaged position that the first cutter is linked in rotation with the rotating element when the rotating element is rotated and, in a rest position that the first cutter is not linked in rotation with the rotating element when the rotating element is rotated.
    The disengagement means allow disengagement from the engaged position towards the rest position.
    The housing is fixed at one end to the rotating element and partially envelops the second cutter. The second cutter is linked to the housing by a sliding pivot connection and includes a bearing surface capable of abutting against the housing when the second cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the rotating element along its axis. .
    Thus, the cranial perforator according to the invention does not include an intermediate ring or a transmission rod.
    To perform functions similar to those provided by these parts in the cranial perforator according to the prior art, the cranial perforator according to the invention notably comprises a sliding pivot link linking the casing to the second cutter. This sliding pivot link makes it possible to ensure perfect rotation of the second cutter around its axis as well as to guide the second cutter in translation along its axis. The first bearing surface of the first cutter capable of abutting against the second cutter when the first cutter is rotated makes it possible to link the first and the second cutter in rotation. The second support surface of the first cutter capable of abutting against the second cutter when the first cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the rotating element along its axis and the support surface of the second cutter capable of abutting against the casing when the second cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the rotating element along its axis make it possible to limit the amplitude of the translation of the first and second cutters along their axis to some extent.
    The clutch means are moreover directly arranged between the rotating element and the first cutter. No intermediate part is therefore disposed between the rotating element and the first cutter to ensure their engagement.
    The cranial perforator casing according to the invention makes it possible to ensure that the rotation of the second cutter and the first cutter takes place precisely around their axis of rotation. The casing also makes it possible to limit the amplitude of a translational movement of the first and second cutters along their axis to a certain extent.
    Preferably, the casing comprises a cylindrical section with a diameter greater than the diameter of a cylindrical section of the second cutter. The sliding pivot connection is advantageously formed by at least one lip projecting from an external surface of the cylindrical section of the second cutter or from an internal surface of the cylindrical section of the casing. Such a sliding pivot connection has the advantage of having a low friction surface.
    The sliding pivot connection can in particular be formed by two lips projecting from an external surface of the cylindrical section of the second cutter or from an internal surface of the cylindrical section of the casing.
    Preferably, the bearing surface of the second cutter capable of abutting against the casing when the second cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the rotating element along its axis is formed by a shoulder of the second cutter, the shoulder of the second cutter being able to come into abutment against a shoulder of the casing.
    Advantageously, the casing is fixed to the rotating element by an irreversible elastic casing of the casing with the rotating element. “Elastic fitting” is understood to mean an assembly method in which the elements are deformed when one is inserted into the other. By "irreversible" is meant the fact that when the casing and the rotating element are resiliently fitted one into the other, disassembly can only be obtained by breaking the casing and / or the rotating element. The irreversible elastic casing of the housing with the rotating element makes it possible to dismantle the cranial perforator. Thus, the cranial perforator cannot be cleaned, decontaminated and / or sterilized for a second reuse. The irreversible elastic casing of the casing with the rotating element therefore guarantees a single use of the cranial perforator according to the invention. The irreversible elastic fitting can in particular be obtained thanks to a tongue-and-groove system, the elements of which are respectively arranged on the rotating element and on the casing, the tongue coming to fit in the groove.
    The rotating element is adapted to be fixed to a driving element, such as a surgical motor. The rotating element has in particular at one of its ends a nozzle adapted to be fixed to a drive element. The drive element has clutch means at the other of its ends allowing engagement with the first cutter.
    The first cutter and the second cutter each have a plurality of teeth at one of their ends. The first cutter is housed inside the second cutter.
    According to an advantageous characteristic, each of the teeth has a cutting face which extends along a plane which is essentially parallel and offset from the axis of the first cutter (respectively second cutter). This special geometry facilitates the formation of fine shavings during the perforation of the skull, and improves its flow and evacuation. These shavings can for example be reused in order to fill the empty spaces left between the cranial flap and the skull at the time of the closure of the latter and allow to recolonize the skull bone and obtain a medium-term fusion of the flap and skull.
    According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, each of the teeth has cutting zones, the cutting zones forming protrusions and extending essentially from the periphery of the end having a plurality of teeth of the first cutter (respectively second cutter) in direction of a hollowed out central area. This particular geometry makes it possible to attack the surface of a skull to be pierced by the periphery of the first cutter (respectively second cutter) so that, at the end of drilling, a portion of bone, not cut, of circular shape, again called bone pastille, corresponding to the hollowed-out central area, persists. The persistence of such a bone pellet at the end of piercing helps protect the dura mater covering the inner surface of the skull and thus prevent its damage.
    Preferably, the first cutter has a centering tip. The implementation of such a centering point makes it easier to start drilling and in particular to avoid slipping of the drill bit. This makes it possible to improve drilling precision, safety and user comfort.
    The first cutter includes a first bearing surface capable of abutting against the second cutter when the first cutter is rotated about the axis. This allows the second cutter to rotate when the first cutter is rotated. Such a stop can be formed by a lug-notch system, the elements of which are arranged respectively on the first cutter and on the second cutter, the lug crossing the notch and being able to come into abutment against it.
    The first milling cutter comprises a second bearing surface capable of abutting against the second milling cutter when the first milling cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the element rotating along its axis. This limits the amplitude of a translational movement of the first cutter relative to the second cutter. Such a stop can be formed by a shoulder of the first cutter capable of coming into abutment against a shoulder of the second cutter.
    The clutch means are arranged on the first cutter and the rotating element. They allow in a engaged position that the first cutter is linked in rotation with the rotating element when the rotating element is rotated and, in a rest position that the first cutter is not linked in rotation with the rotating element when the rotating element is rotated.
    Preferably, the clutch means between the first milling cutter and the rotating element comprise at least one inclined plane and a locking surface disposed on one of said first milling cutter or of said rotating element and, at least one finger having a surface of support likely to come into contact with the locking surface in the clutch position, said at least one finger being disposed on the other of said first cutter or said rotating element. These clutch means allow progressive engagement of the first cutter with the rotating element. In other words, the passage of the first cutter in the engaged position can be done smoothly and smoothly.
    The disengagement means make it possible to maintain the first cutter in a rest position when the axial force exerted on the first cutter is not sufficient.
    According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the disengagement means comprise a return means, such as a compression spring, which tends to return the first cutter to the rest position. The return means is arranged between the first cutter and the rotating element.
    Advantageously, the disengagement means further comprise said at least first bearing surface of said first cutter and, at least one ramp disposed on said second cutter and inclined relative to its axis, said at least first support surface of said first cutter capable of coming into abutment against said second cutter, being able to form a slide connection when said first cutter is rotated. The transmission of the torque between the first cutter and the second cutter at the level of a sliding connection inclined relative to the axis of the cutters thus makes it possible to create an axial force component facilitating the disengagement of the first cutter, that is to say its rapid return to the rest position.
    Advantageously, the angle formed between said at least one ramp and said axis is between 15 ° and 75 ° relative to said axis, preferably between 30 ° and 60 ° relative to said axis, more preferably equal to 45 ° relative to said axis.
    According to a particular embodiment, the first milling cutter comprises two first bearing surfaces capable of forming two slide connections with two ramps arranged on the second milling cutter. The two ramps, respectively the two bearing surfaces do not overlap by rotation of an angle of 180 ° along said axis. This ensures a unique positioning of the teeth of the first cutter relative to the teeth of the second cutter.
    According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the cranial perforator does not include a threaded zone. This avoids any error, including incorrect screwing, when assembling the parts of the cranial perforator.
    The invention also relates to a kit comprising all the parts of the cranial perforator according to the invention.
    The invention also relates to a method for mounting a kit comprising all the parts of the cranial perforator according to the invention.

    6. Detailed description of an embodiment
    Structure of the cranial perforator
    With reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 3bis, the cranial perforator 1 comprises five parts: a rotary element 10, a compression spring 61, a first cutter 20, a second cutter 30 and a casing 40.
    With particular reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the rotating element 10 comprises at its lower end a connection 14, of the HUDSON type, making it possible to connect it to a surgical motor (not shown) implemented in order to obtain its implementation. rotation. It is noted that such a surgical motor (not shown) can rotate the rotating element 10 by means of electrical energy from the sector or stored in batteries, or pneumatic energy.
    The rotating element 10 comprises a circular platform 16, surmounted by a plate 17 of essentially cylindrical shape. The platform 16 has a larger diameter than the plate 17. It makes it possible to abut with the casing 40 when the latter is mounted. The plate 17 comprises a circular tongue 18 projecting from the surface of the cylinder.
    The plate 17 is surmounted in its central part by two inclined planes 11 interposed between two concentric circles of diameter smaller than that of the plate 17. Each inclined plane 11 opens onto the upper surface of the plate 17 and is extended by a blocking surface 12, which extends essentially vertically, corresponding to the start of the other inclined plane 11.
    Referring to Figure 9, the housing 40 has essentially the shape of a hollow cylinder having a cylindrical section of internal diameter di substantially equal to that of the plate 17.11 comprises in its lower part on its internal surface a circular groove 42 of complementary shape to the circular tongue 18 of the rotating element 10. When mounting the cranial perforator 1, the housing 40 is fixed to the rotating element 10 using a press. The circular tongue 18 then comes to fit into the circular groove 42. This allows an irreversible elastic fitting between the casing 40 and the rotating element 10. Thanks to this irreversible elastic fitting, the cranial perforator 1 cannot be disassembled and cannot cannot therefore be cleaned, decontaminated and / or sterilized with a view to possible second reuse. The irreversible elastic casing of the casing 40 with the rotating element 10 therefore guarantees a single use of the cranial perforator 1.
    The housing 40 comprises in its middle part two circular lips 71 projecting from its internal surface. The two circular lips 71 ensure a sliding pivot 70 type connection between the housing 40 and the second cutter 30. The sliding pivot connection 70 ensures perfect rotation of the second cutter 30 about its axis 100 as well as to guide the second cutter 30 in translation along its axis 100.
    The housing 40 also comprises in its upper part a shoulder 43 of smaller diameter than the diameter of the rest of the cylindrical section of the housing 40. The shoulder 43 makes it possible to form a stop with the second cutter 30 in order to limit the amplitude of a translational movement of the second cutter 30 along its axis 100 to a certain extent.
    With reference to Figures 6-8, the first 20 and second 30 cutters each have three teeth 21, 31 distributed at 120 ° in the upper part. The teeth 21, 31 have sharp zones 826, 836 projecting and extending essentially from the periphery towards a hollowed-out central zone. The first cutter 20 is housed inside the second cutter 30 so that its cutting area protrudes from the cutting area of the second cutter 30. The upper part of the first cutter also has a centering tip 27 , pyramidal in shape. The casing 40 obviously does not cover the cutting zones of the first cutter 20 and the second cutter 30.
    Different batches of first strawberries 20 and second strawberries 30 may have different cutting zones so as to allow use on different population groups, in particular adults, adolescents or children.
    The middle part and the lower part of the second cutter 30 are enveloped by the casing 40. They essentially have the shape of a hollow cylinder having a cylindrical section of external diameter d 2 , with d 2 <di. The lips 71 are in contact with the walls of the cylinder of external diameter d 2 and thus form the sliding pivot connection 70. The friction zones of the sliding pivot connection 70 are therefore limited here compared to the technique of the prior art described here. -above. Note that in Figure 8, a narrowing in the middle section is shown. This narrowing makes it possible to reduce the amount of material used to manufacture the second milling cutter 30 on a non-functional part thereof.
    The shoulder 32 marks the border between the middle part and the upper part of the second cutter 30. The middle part has a larger diameter than the bottom of the upper part. The shoulder 32 of the second cutter makes it possible to form a stop with the shoulder 43 of the casing 40 and thus limit the amplitude of a translational movement of the second cutter 30 along its axis 100 to a certain extent.
    Two notches 37, of essentially triangular shape, are drilled from the lower part of the second cutter 30 towards the middle part of the second cutter 30. Each notch 37 comprises a ramp 33 inclined with respect to the axis 100 and ending at the bottom of the ramp on a rounded 34, as well as a flat surface 38 perpendicular to the axis 100.
    The ramp 33 makes it possible to form a slide connection 80 with the first cutter 20. The ramp 33 thus makes it possible to create an axial force component facilitating the disengagement of the first cutter 20 during the transmission of the torque between the first cutter 20 and the second cutter 30. The ramp 33 can be tilted at an angle between 15 ° and 75 ° relative to the axis 100. Preferably, the ramp 33 can be tilted at an angle between 30 ° and 60 ° by relative to the axis 100. In particular, an angle equal to 45 ° relative to the axis 100 is particularly advantageous since it allows both good transmission of the torque while facilitating the disengagement of the second cutter.
    The flat surface 38 perpendicular to the axis 100 makes it possible to abut with the first cutter 20 in order to limit the amplitude of a translational movement of the first cutter 20 along its axis 100 to a certain extent.
    The lower end of the second cutter 30 rests in abutment on the plate 17 of the rotary element 10. The lower end can be chamfered in order to limit friction with the plate 17, when the rotary element 10 is put in rotation but not the second cutter 30.
    The middle part of the first cutter 20 has essentially the shape of a hollow cylinder having a cylindrical section of external diameter d3, less than the internal diameter of the middle and lower sections of the second cutter 30. Note that in FIG. 6 and the Figure 7, a narrowing in the middle section is shown. This narrowing makes it possible to reduce the quantity of material used to manufacture the first cutter 20 on a non-functional part of the latter.
    The lower part of the first cutter 20 comprises two lugs 29 projecting radially from the first cutter 20 and passing through the two notches 37 of the second cutter 30. Each lug 29 comprises a first bearing surface 22 capable of coming into abutment against the ramp 33 of the second cutter 30, when the first cutter 20 is rotated. The first support surface 22 is rounded and is able to come into contact with the ramp 33 thus forming a slide connection. Each lug 29 also includes a second bearing surface 23 capable of coming into abutment against the second cutter 30 when the first cutter is driven in a translational movement moving away from the rotary element 10 along the axis 100. The second bearing surface 23 is substantially perpendicular to the axis 100 and is capable of forming a stop with the planar surface 38 of the notch 37.
    The two pins 29, respectively the two notches 37, are arranged asymmetrically on said first cutter 20, respectively on said second cutter 30, and are thus able to form two by two, two slide connections. This makes it possible to house the first cutter 20 in a single way relative to the second cutter 30 in order to guarantee in particular a good relative positioning of the teeth 21 of the first cutter 20 relative to the teeth 31 of the second cutter 30.
    The lower part of the first cutter 20 also includes two fingers 24 extending axially downwards. The two fingers 24 are able to slide along the inclined planes 11 of the rotating element and to be blocked by the locking surfaces 12. More specifically, each finger 24 comprises a support surface 25 essentially vertical and rounded at its end low allowing the sliding of the finger 24 along the inclined plane 11 then the formation of a stop against the blocking surface 12.
    The two fingers 24 of the first cutter 20 and the two inclined planes 11 comprising a locking surface 12 of the rotating element 10 form two by two the clutch means 50 of the first cutter 20 with the rotating element 10. The clutch means 50 allow in a engaged position that the first cutter 20 is linked in rotation with the rotary element 10 when the rotary element 10 is rotated and, in a rest position that the first cutter 20 is not linked in rotation with the rotating element 10 when the rotating element 10 is rotated. The clutch means 50 are progressive and thus make it possible to prevent suddenly, during the clutch.
    The two fingers 24, respectively the two inclined planes 11 comprising a locking surface 12, are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis 100 on the first cutter 20, respectively the rotating element 10.
    A cavity 26 is arranged along the axis 100 between the fingers 24 of the first cutter and, a cavity 19 is arranged between the inclined planes 11 along the axis 100, allowing the compression spring 61 to be disposed there. The compression spring 61 and the slide connections 80 between the first cutter 20 and the second cutter 30 when the first cutter is rotated constitute the disengagement means 60 of the cranial perforator 1. They allow the first cutter 20 to quickly disengage when the axial force exerted on it is no longer sufficient, that is to say a return of the first cutter to a rest position.
    Assembly of the cranial perforator
    The very structure of the parts of the cranial perforator 1 allows a simple assembly requiring no specific tools other than a press to be mounted. The very structure of the parts of the cranial perforator 1 also guarantees that no error or imprecision can result from assembly since the parts simply thread with each other and that no part has a thread.
    To assemble the cranial perforator, the rotating element 10 and the first cutter 20 must be brought together, then the compression spring 61 must be inserted into the cavities 19 and 26 provided for this purpose. Then, it is necessary to thread the second cutter 30 over the first cutter 20, taking care that the pins 29 of the first cutter 20 are well engaged in the notches 37 of the second cutter 30. Then, the casing 40 can be threaded by above the second milling cutter 30, an irreversible elastic casing of the casing 40 in the rotating element 10 can be obtained by pressing.
    Function of the cranial perforator
    In order to make a perforation in a skull by means of a cranial perforator according to the invention, a surgeon applies the first bur 20 against the surface of the skull to be perforated by exerting a certain pressure.
    The surgeon then starts the surgical motor to which the perforator is connected by means of a HUDSON type mandrel so that the rotating element 10 is rotated.
    The fingers 24 of the first cutter then slide along the inclined planes 11 of the rotating element 10 from their uppermost part until the bearing surface 25 of the fingers 24 forms a stop with the locking surfaces 12 of the inclined planes 11. This allows progressive engagement of the first cutter 20 with the rotary element 10. The torque of the rotary element 10 is then transmitted to the first cutter 20.
    Once the first cutter 20 has rotated, each first bearing surface 22 of the pins 29 comes into contact with the ramp 33 of each notch 37 of the second cutter 30. The transmission of the torque between the first cutter 20 and the element turning 10 takes place as long as there remains a thickness of bone in front of the centering tip 27 of the first cutter 20.
    When there is no more bone thickness in front of the centering point 27 of the first cutter 20, there is therefore no longer any axial force which pushes the first cutter 20 against the rotating element 10. The reaction force of the compression spring 61 will then make it possible to push the first cutter 20 causing it to rise by about 1mm (first disengagement stroke). To help the compression spring make the first cutter 20 go up again, the slide links 80, formed by the contact of the first bearing surfaces 22 of the lugs 29 with the ramps 33 of the notches 37, will favor during this first disengaging stroke the ejection of the first cutter 20. In fact, the ramps 33 being inclined relative to the axis 100, they allow on the one hand the transmission of the torque from the first cutter 20 to the second cutter 30 and on the other hand creating an axial force component adding to the reaction of the compression spring 61 tending to raise the first cutter 20 relative to the rotary element 10, for a progressive and faster disengagement of the first cutter 20.
    As soon as the first cutter 20 is no longer engaged with the rotating element 10, the first cutter 20 stops and therefore no longer transmits torque to the second cutter 30. The perforation stops, even if the surgical motor continues to turn. The practitioner can remove the cranial perforator 1 from the skull.
    The practitioner will only have to remove the bone capsule formed using a spatula. Note that the second strawberry 30 allows, when the first strawberry 20 crosses the bone mass of the skull, to prevent it from continuing its progression towards the inside of the skull and damaging the dura mater.
