Powered driver actuated by force on driveshaft and related kits, components, and methods

Abstract

Powered drivers operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow are disclosed. Some of the present powered drivers may include a housing having a distal end and a proximal end; a motor disposed in the housing; a driveshaft at the distal end of the housing; and a gearbox coupled to the motor and to the driveshaft. Activation of the motor causes rotation of the driveshaft. The housing may include a power source configured to power the motor. The driveshaft may be slidably disposed in the housing and configured such that, upon application of a threshold force on the driveshaft in the direction of the proximal end of the housing, the driveshaft will slide toward the proximal end of the housing to cause an electrical circuit between the motor and the power source to close.

1 . A powered driver for inserting an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow, the powered driver comprising:
 a housing having a distal end and a proximal end;   a driveshaft at the distal end of the housing, the driveshaft configured to releasably connect to a portion of the intraosseous device;   a motor disposed in the housing and operable to rotate the driveshaft; and   a power source disposed in the housing and operable to power the motor through an electrical communication between the power source and the motor;   wherein the driveshaft is configured to move toward the proximal end of the housing upon application of a threshold force on the driveshaft in the direction of the proximal end of the housing to cause the electrical communication between the power source and the motor to close.
