20150216666 | Devices, Systems, and Methods for Elongating Bone - The present invention comprises devices, systems, and methods for elongating bone using an extension implant having a first end and a second end. The first end of the extension implant is inserted into an opening in the live bone and the second end of the extension implant is combined with an enlarged implant. A plurality of channels extend through the components to serve as conduits for delivering fluids and physiological signals which induce bone formation. Some embodiments include a subcutaneous cage assembly for helping to support the implant as the bone heals around it. | 08-06-2015 |

20140274971 | Systems and Methods of Using Chemically Bound Antibiotics Activated by Infections - Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for chemically bonding antibiotics to selected substrate materials which are not dissolved in normal physiological processes so that high local concentrations can be achieved during the inflammatory response. The antibiotics will remain permanently bonded to the substrate material until an infection occurs which releases the antibiotic in high concentrations to help control the infection. The high local concentrations may be much higher than systemic toxic levels, and can never reach toxic levels because the local dose is much less than needed to reach systemic toxicity if completely dissolved. | 09-18-2014 |
