20140276878 | INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL HOLDING DEVICE - A targeting instrument system is provided and methods for positioning an internal fixation prosthesis, such as an intramedullary rod or nail, including a targeting guide device, an internal fixation prosthesis, and a detachable holding device. The holding device may include an exterior grip portion and a clamp portion defining an interior engaging surface for maintaining a locking alignment between the prosthesis and the targeting guide device during the placement of the internal fixation prosthesis into a subject. The holding device may be formed as a monolithic component including at least two flexible, spaced apart arms defining an elongated receiving channel extending from a proximal end configured to releasably engage the prosthesis and a distal end configured to releasably engage the targeting guide device. Alternatively, the holding device may include two pivotally coupled clamp bodies joined by a shaft rod. | 09-18-2014 |
20130096631 | VARIABLE LOCKING BONE PLATING SYSTEM - An apparatus can include a plate member having a top surface, a bottom surface and a hole extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The plate member hole can have a spherically shaped sidewall. A right-hand helical thread can be formed in the sidewall of the plate member hole, and a left-hand helical cut can be formed in the sidewall of the plate member hole intersecting the right-hand helical thread. The left-hand helical cut can be configured to reduce a portion of a contact surface area of the right-hand helical thread and the sidewall of the plate member hole. | 04-18-2013 |
