20120101523 | High-Strength Suture - A surgical suture is made of an elongate, hollow braid of high strength fibers. The braid defines an elongate, longitudinally-extending, central chamber that is open and without any core material extending therein so that, when a surgeon's knot is tied with the suture, the cross-sectional shape of the braid collapses upon itself and is reduced in size in response to pressures experienced when the knot is tightened thereby producing a low profile knot that resists slippage. Preferably, the braid is of a size corresponding to a USP size 5-0 to USP size 7 suture and has one or more, preferably a pair, of color contrasting monofilaments woven therein to enhance suture visibility. Methods of making a flattened suture and of utilizing the high strength suture to maintain body tissues in an engaged position to promote healing are also provided. | 04-26-2012 |

20090216325 | Method And Apparatus For Providing Resorbable Fixation Of Press-Fit Implants - A press-fit prosthesis for replacing a portion of a bone. The prosthesis can comprise a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The second side can be operable to engage the bone. The prosthesis can include at least one resorbable fixation member coupled to the second side such that the at least one resorbable fixation member does not extend through to the first side. The at least one resorbable fixation member can be coupled offset from a center of the second side. The at least one resorbable fixation member can substantially resist movement of the prosthesis relative to the bone. The at least one resorbable fixation member can resorb at a rate that enables bone in-growth to fixedly couple the prothesis to the bone. | 08-27-2009 |
