20090005782 | Fracture Fixation System and Method - The invention relates to a system for stabilizing a bone fracture and methods for applying the system. The system includes a device with two anchorable members with an intervening connector and a passageway through the device. The anchorable members have a constrained non-anchoring configuration and a released anchoring configuration. The anchoring configuration includes a radially-expanded structure such as a plurality of struts. After implantation across a fracture site, the anchorable members are released from their linearly constrained configuration, and structural features radially self-expand, anchoring the device across the fracture. A flowable bone-filling material may be conveyed into the passageway of the device after implantation. The composition fills the space within the expanded structures of the anchorable members and flows into space surround the device, stabilizing it further in the implantation site. | 01-01-2009 |

20090012564 | TRANSDISCAL INTERBODY FUSION DEVICE AND METHOD - Described herein are devices and systems for transdiscal fusion of vertebrae and methods for fusing adjacent vertebra. A system may include a device with two anchorable members connectable by an intervening connector forming a continuous passageway therethrough. An anchorable member may have a constrained non-anchoring configuration and a released anchoring configuration. The anchoring configuration typically includes a radially-expanded structure such as a plurality of struts. After positioning the anchorable members into two adjacent vertebral bodies, the anchorable members may be released from their constrained configuration so that they radially self-expand, anchoring the device across the fracture. A flowable bone-filling material may be conveyed into the passageway of the device after implantation, stabilizing it further in the vertebral implantation site. | 01-08-2009 |
20090216260 | INTERLOCKING HANDLE - Described herein are interlocking surgical tools (e.g., trocars, cannula, etc.) that form a composite surgical device having a handle and a finger grip region that are separate, when the component portions are interlocked. In particular, these tools are configured so that the separate handle and finger grip regions are perpendicular to each other. This arrangement may provide benefits in manipulating these devices. | 08-27-2009 |
20100168748 | MORSELIZER - Described herein are bone morcelizers for forming cavities in bone, particularly cancellous bone.

The inner member may assume a curved shape relative to the outer member when it is extended. | 07-01-2010 |
20100217335 | SELF-EXPANDING BONE STABILIZATION DEVICES - Described herein are bone implant having bifurcated struts for distracting and supporting bone, as well as systems and methods for treating bone using them. These self-expanding implants for repairing bone may include two or more bifurcated struts that extend from a central body or shaft in the deployed configuration. The stabilization device may be attached to an inserter. An inserter may be used to hold the stabilization device in a collapsed delivery configuration so that it can be inserted into bone. | 08-26-2010 |
20130289608 | VASCULAR THROMBECTOMY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE - An apparatus is provided for removing matter from within a conduit. The apparatus generally comprises a separation edge attached to a wire at its proximal end, a frame attached to the distal end of the separation edge, and a membrane attached to the wire and disposed over the frame enclosing its interior. The membrane generally comprises a net constructed from a vaporized metal deposited on a mandrel. Alternatively, the membrane may comprise a braided tube constructed from wire. The apparatus may be employed as a filter or as a means for actively dislodging matter from the wall of a conduit. When employed as a filter, the apparatus is positioned downstream of the matter where it ensures that matter does not escape downstream as it is being removed. When employed to actively remover matter from a conduit, the apparatus is positioned downstream of the matter. The apparatus is then pulled proximally whereby it engages the matter and dislodges it from the wall of the conduit | 10-31-2013 |

20100196849 | FLAPLESS DENTAL IMPLANT PUNCH - An improved flapless dental implant punch is disclosed. This punch is designed to reduce or eliminate the present cumbersome linear incision method presently used for dental implant procedures. In one embodiment, the invention is a disposable or reusable punch with a handle on one end, and a shank with a roughly cylindrical hollow punch with a circular cutting edge, usually around 1-6 mm in diameter, and often around 2-3 mm in diameter. Unlike prior art punches, however, the invention is configured to additionally make a number of precisely defined linear incisions in the gum tissue during the punching process. As a result, after the underlying jaw bone is exposed by the action of the device, the gum tissue lining the walls of the exposed hole now have enhanced mobility due to the presence of multiple short incisions radiating away from the sides of the gum hole. | 08-05-2010 |

20110152775 | OPHTHALMIC VALVED TROCAR VENT - In various embodiments, a trocar cannula may be configured for insertion into an eye to facilitate insertion and removal of instruments during surgery. The cannula may be affixed to an overcap (to inhibit rotation of the overcap relative to the cannula) that includes a seal. In some embodiments, the seal may be overmolded into the overcap or may include a wafer that is fixed between the cannula and the overcap to inhibit rotation relative to the cannula and the overcap. In some embodiments, the cannula and overcap may snap together through a tab/slot interface in a permanent fashion such that the cannula and overcap may not be separated without damaging the cannula or overcap. In some embodiments, a vent cannula may be receivable in the slit of the seal for allowing fluids to vent from the eye through the cannula (which may include an indentation to frictionally engage the vent). | 06-23-2011 |
