See full text

A set of surgical products which includes an attachment mechanism for modular surgical products. The set includes a plurality of first components and a plurality of second components. One of the first components and one of the second components are to be selected for engagement with each other. The components each include an indexing means including a key on the first components and a corresponding slot on the second components for mating with the key. The orientations of the keys and slots vary, so that only first components having a key orientation that is similar to and aligns with the slot orientation of a second component will properly mate together and so that first components will not properly align and mate with second components having slot orientations that are different from the respective key orientation.
