The soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with a fixation device, a flexible strand and a shuttle/pull device attached to the flexible strand and provided within the body of the fixation device. A splice is formed by pulling on the shuttle/pull device subsequent to the fixation device being secured into the bone, to allow desired tensioning of soft tissue to be fixated or repaired relative to the bone. | 04-18-2013 |
20130165972 | TENSIONABLE KNOTLESS ANCHOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF TISSUE REPAIR - Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs, without knot tying. The soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with splices and loops that are pre-loaded onto modified knotless anchors (for example, swivel and/or screw-in suture anchors and/or push-in suture anchors with a distal eyelet) to position the self-locking, adjustable construct at the repair site. The systems allow for knotless tensioning of the tissue after the knotless anchors have been implanted. | 06-27-2013 |
20140121630 | ARTHROSCOPIC CANNULA DAMS FOR FLUID CONTROL - A cannula with a tri-slot dam assembly including two primary dams as the main fluid seal and an adjacent outer “baffle-like dam” that prevents fluid pressure build-up and allows the fluid to leak out and not squirt out of the cannula. The baffle-like dam has a body formed of a low profile material and is provided with a plurality of small through holes or perforations to allow fluid to gently leak out. Fluid that enters the outer chamber leaks out of the through holes so that the fluid pressure between the baffle and the primary dams is very low. A spacer is optionally provided between the two primary dams and the outer dam to prevent the dams from interfering with each other and allow them to remain open. | 05-01-2014 |
20140121700 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCKING A CINCH LOOP AND METHODS OF TISSUE REPAIR - Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs, without knot tying. The soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with splices, loops and inserts that are pre-loaded onto knotless anchors to position the self-locking, adjustable construct at the repair site. The splice incorporates an insert in the form of a flexible strand with at least one barb, or simply in the form of a cut length of suture or braid that is inserted into the center of the cinching loop to create a thicker portion. When the cinching loop is tightened, the insert prevents loosening of the loop, locking in the cinching loop and preventing movement of the loop. | 05-01-2014 |
20140128889 | SUTURE SNARE WITH RETRACTABLE SLEEVE - A delivery device (suture passer or suture snare) that may be used in both open and endoscopic surgical procedures. The delivery device is designed with an internal member terminating in a snare and a retractable outer sheath (sleeve). The device is passed through tissue, and the outer sheath is retracted (moved back), allowing the snare to open. The suture is captured by the snare, and the outer sheath is then released so that it returns to its distal position, closing the snare and securing the captured suture. Since the snare is exposed by retracting the outer sheath (sleeve), rather than advancing the snare, the space requirement for the device is reduced, as is the possibility that the snare will undesirably contact sensitive tissue. | 05-08-2014 |
20140257384 | KNOTLESS REPAIR TECHNIQUE USING TAPE/SUTURE HYBRID - Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs, without knot tying. The soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with a fixation device, a flexible construct having a flexible strand abutting a suture tape, and a shuttle/pull device attached to the flexible strand and provided within the body of the fixation device. A splice is formed by pulling on the shuttle/pull device subsequent to the fixation device being secured into the bone, to allow the wide tape to be positioned over the tissue (for best compression and minimum tissue cut-thru) and suture for the implanted portion (for most efficient and least bone removal). | 09-11-2014 |
20150245831 | METHOD OF TISSUE REPAIR USING A TENSIONABLE KNOTLESS ANCHOR WITH SPLICE - A method of fixating soft tissue to bone using a bone anchor connected to a construct formed of a suture strand passing through the anchor and a shuttle device passing through a splice region of the suture strand. After installing the anchor in bone, an end of the suture strand is passed around or through soft tissue to be fixated, and then the end of the suture strand is inserted into an eyelet of the shuttling device. By pulling on the opposite end of the shuttling device, the end of the suture strand is passed through the splice region of the flexible strand, thereby forming a knotless closed loop having an adjustable perimeter. As the loop is tightened, the soft tissue is tensioned against the bone. | 09-03-2015 |
20150297211 | METHOD FOR KNOTLESS TENSIONABLE ROTATOR CUFF REPAIR - Knotless, adjustable anchor systems that allow for knotless tensioning of tissue (such as the rotator cuff) after anchor implantation. The knotless, adjustable anchor system includes knotless anchors (for example, swivel and/or screw-in suture anchors and/or push-in suture anchors) that are modified to carry a self-locking, adjustable construct (for example, a suture assembly with a spliced suture loop) and to position the self-locking, adjustable construct at the repair site. The system allows for knotless tensioning of the tissue after the knotless anchors have been implanted. The medial row anchors are implanted and passed through tissue in a similar fashion as the current Corkscrew® or SwiveLock® C anchors are. The lateral row anchors are similar to a knotless SutureTak® but modified to accommodate a larger suture to hold a larger load. The suture is interconnected to the medial row and returned back to the lateral row for loading into the splice. | 10-22-2015 |
