| 20090149891 | PIN SITE WOUND PROTECTION SYSTEM - An improved disposable pin site wound protection system for covering the entry or exit site of a surgical pin, wherein the system substantially reduces the time required to change a dressing at a pin site wound. The invention comprises a sponge ( | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100324608 | GRAFT PROTECTION MESH AND FIXATION TECHNIQUE - A three-dimensional mesh or screen in the shape of a simple flat piece of material that can be provided adjacent the graft (i.e., in between graft bundles, or around the graft, or between the graft and the fixation device) for improved strength and structural support for graft fixation. The mesh provides improved methods for installing and securing ligament grafts (such as double-bundle cruciate ligament grafts) with enhanced reconstruction results. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20140114364 | MOLDABLE CUSHION FOR IMPLANTS - Custom moldable cushions for covering medical implants fastened to a bone are provided. Such cushions inhibit irritation of the surrounding soft tissue by covering the bone-implant interface and by reducing friction caused by movement of soft tissue adjacent the implant. Such cushions may also be employed to spread and absorb forces reducing patient discomfort and risk of injury and infection associated with such implants. | 04-24-2014 |
| 20140194938 | SHEATHS FOR IMPLANTABLE FIXATION DEVICES - Sheaths for implantable fixation devices are disclosed. Sheaths have a flexible body with a perforated wall, an open end, a closed end, and a body interior sized and shaped to receive the fixation device. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20150045841 | UNIVERSAL ANCHOR FOR BONE FIXATION - The present invention relates to a bone-fixation anchor comprising a rigid expandable part and a soft part. The rigid expandable part secures the anchor with respect to the bone and the soft part enables the anchor to fit any bone screw on the market. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20160038187 | WOVEN RETENTION DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A woven retention device for interfacing with a bone surface includes interwoven filaments forming a tubular lattice with protuberances distributed on interior and exterior surfaces of the lattice at a predetermined spatial relationship. The protuberances are formed by intersecting interwoven filaments. The retention device receives and surrounds a fastener. In a first, relaxed state, the retention device has multiple combinations of filament cross-section geometries at the intersection points, and the multiple combinations of filament cross-section geometries form multiple protuberance thicknesses. In a second state when surrounding at least a portion of the fastener, the retention device distributes pressure from the fastener to multiple points of contact on the exterior surface of the retention device such that a spatial relationship of the protuberances changes as a function of bone density of the bone surface and as a function of an interfacing surface shape of the fastener. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160038206 | WOVEN RETENTION DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A woven retention device for interfacing with a bone surface is provided that includes a sleeve body that can surround a fastener, a proximal end for receiving the fastener, and a distal end. The sleeve body includes interwoven monofilaments of different diameters forming a substantially tubular lattice with protuberances distributed on interior and exterior surfaces of the lattice at a predetermined spatial relationship. In a first state, the sleeve body has a plurality of combinations of filament cross-section geometries at the intersection points, forming a plurality of protuberance thicknesses as measured in a radial direction of the sleeve body. In a second state when a fastener is inserted into the tubular lattice, pressure from the fastener is transmitted to the tubular lattice such that the spatial relationship of the protuberances changes according to a function of bone density and an interfacing surface shape of the fastener. | 02-11-2016 |
