Abstract

An electronic torque measuring adapter is provided that can be releasably secured to a driving tool through a drive shaft extending outwardly from one end of the adapter. The adapter has a housing within which is disposed an electronics/control unit capable of measuring torque applied to an implement attached to the adapter opposite the driving tool. The drive shaft is shaped similarly to the engagement end of the fastener-engaging shaft in order to utilize the same connection mechanism within the driving tool to secure the adapter to the driving tool. The adapter can sense and limit the torque applied when a programmed torque limit is reached, which can be stored in the adapter or on a remote platform wirelessly connected to the adapter. Outputs from the adapter can be wirelessly transmitted to the remote platform for recordal of fastener torque values during a medical procedure and generation of associated reports.
