20110111369 | Anchor and method - An anchor is designed to thread-in an osseous tissue, and tends to resist unscrew and/or pull or extracting and/or pulling or extraction by featuring reverse flutes which, when attempting unscrew and/or pull or extracting and/or pulling or extraction, tends to develop an inwardly-directed equivalent force. | 05-12-2011 |
20110143318 | Winged implant - A winged implant may be provided with at least one wing extending generally radially away from a implant body adjacent a distal end thereof. During an implant procedure, the winged implant may be implanted in a crater, whereby the at least one wing may offer an enhanced support of the winged implant in the crater. | 06-16-2011 |
20120046697 | Anchoring element and method - An anchoring element for use in bone has an apical end and a distal end. The apical end may be embedded in bone while the distal end may be left exposed. An abutment surface is disposed toward the distal end. The anchoring element may include first, second, third and fourth surfaces that define the apical end. The fourth surface may be disposed between an apical end and a distal end of the first surface, may joined to the third surface along an outer circumference of the fourth surface and may be employed to shave, cut or route an upstanding core remaining in the bone. | 02-23-2012 |
20120329010 | WINGED IMPLANT - A winged implant is provided with at least one wing member extending generally radially outwardly away from the implant body adjacent a distal end thereof. The external periphery of the implant body is provided with external threads for cutting into, and embedding the implant body within, a substrate, and the diametrical extent of the wing member is substantially larger than the diametrical extents of the implant body and the external threads so as to provide enhanced stabilization for the implant body when implanted within the substrate. | 12-27-2012 |
20130066205 | Ultrasound bone imaging assembly - A device for orienting a bone cutting tool with respect to a locking screw hole of an intramedullary nail inserted within a bone is provided. The device includes a device body which is configured with a cutting path for a cutting device and a distal end portion which is adapted for positioning against a surface of the bone. The device also includes an ultrasound probe holder which serves for aligning the cutting path with the screw locking feature using at least one ultrasound signal of at least one ultrasound probe attached to the device. | 03-14-2013 |
20130280676 | WIDE IMPLANT - A wide implant may be provided with at least one thread comprising a distal wrap, an apical wrap, and an at least one interim wrap. The distal and the apical wraps are provided with a distal and an apical maximal radial extent Ed, Ea, respectively, greater than an interim maximal radial extent Ei pro-vided with the at least one interim wrap. | 10-24-2013 |
20140234800 | ANCHORING ELEMENT AND METHOD - An anchoring element for use in bone, with an external and an internal wall. The external wall has externally threaded peripheral surface facilitating the embedding of the anchoring element within the bone, and the internal wall has an internal peripheral surface that, taken together with the externally threaded peripheral surface, define an annular wall around a hollow central portion and around a longitudinal axis. At least one non-radial slot passes through the externally threaded peripheral surface, the annular wall, and the internal peripheral surface, such that at least one pointed fluke is defined at a juncture of the non-radial slot and the outer peripheral surface for cutting the bone and directing bone fragments into said hollow central portion, wherein the at least one pointed fluke extends from a fluke leading face to a fluke trailing face, and wherein the fluke leading face is skewed relatively to said fluke trailing face. | 08-21-2014 |
20150104755 | WINGED IMPLANT - A winged implant for implantation within osseous tissue or bone, comprising an implant body having a first external threading, and a second external threading parallel to the first external threading; a first wing member projecting radially outwardly of said implant body, as a smooth continuation of said first external threading; a second wing member projecting radially outwardly of said implant body, as a smooth continuation of said second external threading, wherein said first wing member and said second wing member extend annularly around said implant body. | 04-16-2015 |
