In the 40s, doctors began performing lobotomies with off the shelf ice picks. But those would sometimes break off in the patient's head so the orbitoclast was developed, a surgical grade ice pick.

In the 2020s the oribitoclast has been replaced by a newer, more effective tool called generative AI.
