20160106416 | MEDICAL IMPLEMENT FOR MANIPULATING SUTURES PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY - A medical implement for transport of a suture shuttle, comprising a handle including a proximal portion configured for manual gripping by a user, a distal portion, an internal passageway for a suture shuttle, extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the handle; an intermediate portion formed with a thumb depression facing a first direction; the proximal portion comprising a slot extending from the internal passageway to a lateral face of the handle for enabling side-loading of a suture shuttle into a proximal portion of the internal passageway, the slot facing a second direction; the slot extending longitudinally from a proximal end of the handle to an intersection with the thumb depression, wherein at the intersection the slot is exposed in the first direction, and a roller rotatably mounted at the thumb depression. | 04-21-2016 |
20160058456 | ARTHROSCOPIC BONE TRANSPLANTING PROCEDURE, AND MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS USEFUL THEREIN - Described is an arthroscopic bone transplanting procedure for transplanting a section of a first bone to a second bone. The described procedure is particularly useful for the treatment an anterior shoulder instability, where the first bone is the coracoid and the second bone is the glenoid. Also described is a kit of medical instruments particularly useful in such a procedure. | 03-03-2016 |
20160000424 | MEDICAL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING A SUTURE TO A BONE - A method of forming a channel in a bone, the method comprising: providing a first bore in the bone; and forming, a second bore in the bone at a predefined angle from said first bore, using said first bore as a reference point for defining the location of the second bore in the bone, wherein the first and second bores intersect in the bone. | 01-07-2016 |
20140114317 | ARTHROSCOPIC BONE TRANSPLANTING PROCEDURE, AND MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS USEFUL THEREIN - Described is an arthroscopic bone transplanting procedure for transplanting a section of a first bone to a second bone. The described procedure is particularly useful for the treatment an anterior shoulder instability, where the first bone is the coracoid and the second bone is the glenoid. Also described is a kit of medical instruments particularly useful in such a procedure. | 04-24-2014 |
20130204253 | SURGICAL IMPLEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANIPULATING A BONE - A surgical bone holding implement for manipulating a bone, comprising a handle and an elongated shaft including a bone engaging tip. The handle is positionable with respect to the elongated shaft between first and second positions, for mounting a drill member on the proximal end of the elongated shaft in one position, and for manipulating the bone by means of the handle in a second position. | 08-08-2013 |
20110301622 | MEDICAL IMPLEMENT FOR MANIPULATING SUTURES PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY - A medical implement particularly useful in arthroscopic sutures, includes: a handle having a proximal end configured for manual gripping by a user, a distal end, an internal passageway extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and an intermediate portion formed with a recess extending from the outer surface to the internal passageway. A shuttle is movable through the passageway and has an intermediate portion exposed within the recess for manipulation by a user gripping the handle, and a suture-receiving-element at its distal movable axially through the distal end of the handle. A roller is rotatably mounted to the handle to underlie the exposed portion of the shuttle such that, after a suture has been received by the suture-receiving-element of the shuttle, a user, gripping the handle, may manipulate the shuttle with respect to the distal end of the handle by thumb-pressing the exposed portion of the shuttle against the roller and rotating the roller. | 12-08-2011 |
20110295260 | KNEE RECONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE AND SURGICAL IMPLEMENT PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR SUCH KNEE RECONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE - A surgical implement for use in a surgical procedure involving the manipulation of a wire or like article in a body cavity. The surgical implement includes: an elongated stem; a handle carried at the proximal end of the elongated stem; a socket in the form of a removable insert, carried at the distal end of the elongated stem and configured for insertion into a body cavity during the surgical procedure and for receiving the wire or like article; an actuator carried by the elongated stem and movable from a normal position closing the socket at the distal end of the elongated stem, to an actuated position opening the socket; a finger-piece carried by the actuator adjacent the handle so as to be conveniently engageable by a user, while gripping the handle, to move the actuator from its normal position closing the socket, to its actuated position opening the socket; and a spring urging the actuator to its normal position closing the socket. The described preferred embodiment is one wherein the surgical procedure is a knee reconstruction procedure, and the socket is configured to enter through a lateral-medial portal of the knee into the intercondylar notch of the femur bone for forming the femoral tunnel therein. | 12-01-2011 |
