Abstract

See full text

A handheld surgical tool includes a handle, an instrument shaft, and a navigation device, which includes at least one sensor unit for sensing positional data, a computing unit configured to determine a position in space based on signals of the sensor unit, at least one set key and a position memory configured to store a data set for a position upon activation of the at least one set key. A comparator is operatively connected to the position memory for comparing an actual position against a stored position in at least two different operation modes and for generation of a deviation signal, wherein operation modes differ in that a first mode is configured for a reduced comparison only which lacks at least one spatial dimension. A feedback device is provided supplied with the deviation signal and being configured to indicate direction and preferably magnitude of any deviation.
