    Abstract: Methods of extracting bone and/or cellular material from a patient for possible use in a later surgical procedure, which involves that patient or even a different patient, are provided. An embodiment of the method generally comprises extracting bone and/or cellular material from a patient undergoing a routine surgical procedure, saving the material, and then sending it to a storage, separation, and processing facility (e.g., a “biobank”) for use in a later surgical procedure involving that patient, or a different patient. The material may be cancellous bone, cortical bone chips, or bone marrow. The extracted bone and/or cellular material can be processed at the biobank and used in a multitude of different medical procedures (e.g., as an allograft infused with stem cells for use in a fusion procedure).

    Abstract: A powered surgical tool system. The system includes a handpiece having a motor and a front end attachment removably coupled to the handpiece. The attachment has a nose defining a bore for receiving a shaft of a cutting accessory connectable to a motor of the powered surgical tool for rotation. The nose also defines an enclosed channel separate from the bore. The channel extends longitudinally and helically along the nose such that the enclosed channel curves around the nose to curve around the bore. The channel has a variable pitch as the enclosed channel extends longitudinally. An irrigation fitting is in fluid communication with the enclosed channel in the nose and is adapted to receive an irrigating fluid and flow the fluid through the enclosed channel.
