Content
As used herein, a “sleeve” refers to structure that is narrow and longer longitudinally than the structure is wide. In certain embodiments, a sleeve serves to surround, enclose, wrap, and/or contain something else. In certain embodiments, a sleeve may surround, enclose, wrap, and/or contain a passage or void. (Search "sleeve" on wordhippo.com. WordHippo, 2021. Web. Accessed 15 Nov. 2021. Modified.) In certain embodiments, the term sleeve may be preceded by an adjective that identifies the structure, implement, component or instrument that may be used with, inserted into or associated with the sleeve. For example, a “pin sleeve” may be configured to accept a pin or wire such as a K-wire, a “drive sleeve” may be configured to accept a drill or drill bit, a “fixation member sleeve” may be configured to accept a fastener or fixation member.
