| 20080215052 | Allograft implant workstation - The invention is directed toward a portable surgical workstation for implant formation comprising a base with a central planar section with integral handles extending from the central planar section at an angle to the plane of the central planar section. The central planar section has a plurality of tracks and a throughgoing slot with a recessed stepped surrounding surface formed on a bottom surface of the central planar section. A vise assembly mounted to the base and comprises a fixed jaw member secured to the base, a traveling jaw member moveably mounted to the base and a fixed drive housing mounted to the base. The traveling jaw member has a plurality of rail members adapted to be slidably mounted in the central planar section tracks. The fixed drive housing has a threaded longitudinal bore which receives a threaded drive shaft, one end of the drive shaft being secured in the traveling jaw member to preclude axial movement of the drive shaft within the traveling jaw member while retaining rotational movement to transport the traveling jaw members toward and away from the fixed jaw member. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080255623 | Osteochondral allograft cartilage transplant workstation - The invention is directed toward a portable surgical workstation and kit of accessory devises for cartilage implant formation comprising a base, a vise assembly mounted to the base, the vise assembly comprising a fixed jaw member and a moveable jaw member, each jaw member defining grasping surfaces for holding a bone workpiece. A shaft drive is threadably connected to the moveable jaw member and rotatably mounted in the fixed jaw member for transporting the moveable jaw toward and away from the fixed jaw. An articulated guide assembly is mounted to the fixed jaw member, the articulated guide means including a sleeve member and a plurality of moveable interconnected members selectively rotatable on a ball joint. A miter assembly defining a slot of a width to receive a surgical saw is mounted to at least one of the jaw members. The kit of accessory devices comprises a plurality of different diameter bushings which fit in the sleeve member and a plurality of different diameter cylindrical core cutter assemblies sized to fit in each respective sized bushing and a donor cutter guide adapted to fit in said sleeve. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090062809 | Cartilage bore depth gauge - The invention is directed toward a depth gauge instrument for simultaneously taking a number of height measurements around the surface of the area surrounding a bore from the base of the bore. The instrument has an individual cylindrical base member which has a diameter the same as the bore allowing the same to be inserted in the bore and a plurality of marker members slideably mounted in dovetail shaped grooves cut longitudinally along the outer surface of the cylindrical base member. The base member is provided with measurement indicia on its outer surface which correspond to the foot of each marker members to show the specific distance that the marker member is from the base of the bore. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090187245 | INTERBODY FUSION HYBRID GRAFT - The invention is directed toward a sterile composite bone graft for use in implants comprising a central member constructed of biocompatible plastic with two end caps of cortical bone mated to opposite ends of the central member. The central member is cylindrically ring shaped with a plurality of ribs formed in the side wall of the cylinder. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100274355 | Bone-tendon-bone assembly with cancellous allograft bone block having cortical end portion - The invention is directed toward a sterile bone-tendon-bone assembly with two allograft bone blocks constructed with a cancellous portion and a cortical end portion. Each bone block has an outer curved surface with two opposing longitudinal arcuate grooves cut into the exterior surface which will allow a tendon replacement member to be wrapped around the bone block. The second bone block being in reversed orientation to the first bone block. | 10-28-2010 |
