Implant remover

Disclosed herein is a tool for removing an implanted item from beneath the skin, the tool comprising: a clamping device configured to engage with the skin to retain the implanted item in a known position relative to the tool; a cutting device for cutting an opening in the skin; and a gripping device configured to move through an opening in the skin and grip an implanted item; such that, in use, the implanted item is retained by the clamping device substantially in the known position and the cutting device creates an opening in the skin through which the gripping device then passes to grip an implanted item. Advantageously, the tool reduces the complexity of an implant removal process and does not require significant operator skill to use. It further reduces the time required and the variation in the outcome of such a procedure. 本文公开了用于从皮肤下移除植入的物品的工具，该工具包括：夹紧装置，配置成与皮肤接合以将植入的物品保持在相对于工具的已知位置；切割装置，用于在皮肤中切割开口；以及抓取装置，配置成运动穿过皮肤中的开口并抓取植入的物品；使得在使用中，通过夹紧装置将植入的物品基本保持在已知位置，以及切割装置在皮肤中产生开口，然后抓取装置穿过该开口以抓取植入的物品。有利的是，该工具降低了植入
