View page
US Patent:
8535329, Sep 17, 2013
Filed:
Oct 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/975211
Inventors:
Vineet Kumar Sarin - Thousand Oaks CA, US
William Ralph Pratt - Newbury Park CA, US
Kyle Craig Pilgeram - Oxnard CA, US
Richard Lee Kendall - Oak View CA, US
Assignee:
Kinamed, Inc. - Camarillo CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606102, 606130
Abstract:
The invention includes a method for tracking the human scapula during shoulder surgery, by a trackable device fixed to the coracoid process of the scapula. A device of the invention allows a trackable target to be fixed to the coracoid process by bone screws and an anchor. In one embodiment, a releasable coupling is provided between the anchor and the trackable target.

Method And Device For Producing An Anchorage In Human Or Animal Tissue

US Patent:
20090131947, May 21, 2009
Filed:
Oct 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/260698
Inventors:
Marcel Aeschlimann - Ligerz, CH
Laurent Torriani - Lamboing, CH
Mario Lehmann - Les Pommerats, CH
Jorg Mayer - Niederlenz, CH
Richard Lum - San Jose CA, US
Kyle Craig Pilgeram - San Jose CA, US
Michael Baycura - San Francisco CA, US
Lisa Ballou - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
WOODWELDING AG - Zug
International Classification:
A61B 17/84
A61B 17/68
A61B 19/02
US Classification:
606 93, 606 60, 606 92, 206572
Abstract:
An anchorage in tissue is produced by holding a vibrating element and a counter element against each other such that their contact faces are in contact with each other, wherein at least one of the contact faces comprises a thermoplastic material which is liquefiable by mechanical vibration. While holding and then moving the two elements against each other, the vibrating element is vibrated and due to the vibration the thermoplastic material is liquefied between the contract faces, and due to the relative movement is made to flow from between the contact faces and to penetrate tissue located adjacent to outer edges of the contact faces. For liquefaction of the thermoplastic material and for displacing it from between the contact faces no force needs to act on the tissue surface which is to be penetrated by the liquefied material. For this reason anchorage in tissue which has little mechanical stability is possible.

International Classification:
A61B 17/16
US Classification:
606 80
Abstract:
In a first embodiment, the present invention includes an instrumentation system for preparing a bone for soft tissue repair, the instrumentation system including a flexible drill pin capable of bending along a curved path; an aimer capable of engaging the flexible pin to bend the flexible pin; and a flexible reamer having a flexible portion along at least a portion of its length, the flexible portion comprising a plurality of laser cuts. In an alternate embodiment, the present invention may also include a method for preparing a bone tunnel in a femur adjacent a knee joint, the method including introducing a flexible drill pin into the knee joint; guiding the flexible drill pin towards a surface of the femur with an instrument introduced into the knee joint; drilling the flexible drill pin into the femur; removing the instrument from the knee joint; introducing a cannulated flexible reamer into the knee joint by placing the flexible pin within the cannulation of the flexible reamer; and reaming the bone tunnel in the femur along the path of the flexible pin.

Assignee:
HOWMEDICA OSTEONICS CORP. - Mahwah NJ
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 96
Abstract:
Disclosed are femoral and tibial drill guides for use in posterior cruciate ligament replacement surgery. Each of the drill guides includes an arc shaped member and an elongate guide member, a stopper member, and an alignment arm member coupled thereto.
