CORE ESSENCE ORTHOPAEDICS, INC. - Fort Washington PA

International Classification:

A61B 17/04

US Classification:

606139

Abstract:

The invention comprises methods and apparatus for reattaching anatomical members, such as tendons, ligaments, or bone, during preparing and healing of the member using a surgical repair device that can be securely attached to the member and then safely guided through tortuous anatomy for reattachment and repair. The repair device further includes structural means to secure opposed ends of the member against separation during healing. Devices for aiding in the positioning of the surgical repair device also are provided, such as a crimp connector holder tool for holding the crimp connector during threading therethrough of two sutures attached to two tendon stumps for bringing the two stumps into abutment and crimping them in place.

Appl. No.:

13/730930

Inventors:

Leonard Gordon - Mill Valley CA, US
Joshua A. Leonard - Philadelphia PA, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/04
A61B 17/16

US Classification:

606 80, 606232

Abstract:

Methods and kits are provided to treat scapho-lunate ligament tears, which involve stabilization of the scaphoid and lunate both dorsally and volarly. The treatments can be performed through open, mini-open or arthroscopic procedures, as an intra-capsular or extra-capsular repair and stabilization procedure. The treatment procedures involve the use of sutures or wires to fix the relative orientations of the scaphoid and lunate, and the optional use of bone anchors or other bone attachment devices to create a capsulodesis between the lunate and scaphoid, or other bones, to lift the scaphoid into the desired position. Localization of the entry point of the sutures or wires into the bones are used to improve positioning of the bone anchors, sutures and wires.

Inventors:

Leonard Gordon - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

A61F 208
A61B 1784

US Classification:

623 13

Abstract:

A surgical repair splint (21,41,61,81) for use with a securement device such as a plurality of sutures (31,51,71,91) to hold together opposed ends of a member, such as a tendon or ligament, during preparing and healing of the member. The repair splint (21) has an elongated splint body which can either be urged into the opposite ends (22,23) of the member (21) to be repaired or placed along a side of the opposed ends (22,23). The repair splint (21) body further includes securement structures (32,32a,33,33a) proximate splint ends (26,27) which are formed to receive and cooperate with a securement device, such as sutures (31), so as to secure the opposite tendon or ligament ends (22,23) to the splint body against separation of the opposed faces (28,29) which are to be knit together during healing. A method of surgical repair of ruptured or severed tendon or ligament ends is also provided.

US Classification:

623 1311

Abstract:

A surgical repair splint (21,41,61,81,121) for use with a securement device such as a plurality of sutures (31,51,71,91,131) to hold together opposed ends of a member, such as a tendon or ligament (24,64,84,124), during preparing and healing of the member. The repair splint (21,121) has an elongated splint body, which can be flexible and which can either be pushed or pulled into the opposite ends (22,23,122,123) of the member to be repaired, or placed along a side of the opposed ends. The repair splint further includes securement structures or oppositely facing shoulders (32,33,132,133) on relatively rigid pointed splint ends (26,27,126,127) which are formed to receive and cooperate with a securement device, such as sutures (31,131), so as to secure the opposite tendon or ligament ends to the splint against separation of the opposed faces (28,29,128,129) which are to be knit together during healing. A method of surgical repair of ruptured or severed tendon or ligament ends is also provided.

16/454017

Inventors:

Leonard Gordon - San Francisco CA, US
Joshua Gordon - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/04

Abstract:

A suture transfer device and method of use provides the suture transfer device to facilitate passage of suture through a channel bored through a bone. The suture transfer device may also be installed upon a surgical drill. The device extends through bone tissue providing a temporarily installed suture passage with an overall cylindrical configuration and a linear trough, the device can be included on a bone drill during the drilling process, with the device deployed within the drilled channel within the bone upon completion of the drilled channel in the bone, providing smooth passage of one or more sutures during tissue repair through the linear trough, the device further removed upon completion of the surgery without disruption of the suture or sutures. Kits are also provided.
