20160030032 | Suture-Anchoring Implanted Medical Devices Engineered From Bioresorbable Metal Alloys - Herein described are suture-anchoring implanted medical devices formed from a bioresorbable metal alloy that may be used to secure soft tissue to bone. The metallic bioresorbable tissue anchoring devices of the present invention are optimally configured such that all portions of the device are resorbed over a short predetermined period of time while maintaining their tissue anchoring capability and preventing the generation of loose foreign bodies therefrom. | 02-04-2016 |
20150245901 | IMPLANT PLACEMENT SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS - Described herein is a simplified placement system and method for a tissue graft anchor by which a surgeon may introduce one or more sutures into a hole in a boney tissue, apply tension to the sutures to advance a soft tissue graft to a desired location, and then advance the anchor into the bone while maintaining suture tension and without introducing spin to the suture. | 09-03-2015 |
20150245868 | BENDABLE AND REBENDABLE ENDOSCOPIC ELECTROSURGICAL DEVICE - In the context of endoscopic electrosurgery, there is a need for a sufficiently robust, rigid, and preferably aspirating electrosurgical device that may be repeatedly flexed in the field to allow access to a wide array of remote tissues using a single device and, more preferably, during a single minimally invasive procedure. The present invention addresses this significant need by providing the distal portion of the elongate tubular member of an electrosurgical device with a bend region having a non-uniform flexural strength along its length, such that one may bend the tubular member at said bend region not only to an initial small radius bend, but subsequently rebend the distal portion to other angles as needed, with all bends occurring in the same distal region. The flexural strength in the bend region may be reduced by, for example, notching the tube in the bend region, annealing the tube in the bend region, or reducing the wall thickness in the bend region, or any combination of these means. | 09-03-2015 |
20150182233 | PERCUSSIVE SURGICAL DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - In the context of bone surgery and in particular arthroscopic surgery, there is frequently a need for the application of “percussive force” to the distal end component(s) of a surgical device, i.e., repetitive percutient or striking force analogous to that of a hammer driving a nail. Disclosed herein are mechanisms and methods for automating and/or controlling the application of such a percussive force so as to avoid the present need in the art for a “third hand”. The present invention addresses the significant and long felt need by providing a powered percussive driver device that may be controlled directly by the primary surgeon. | 07-02-2015 |
