Systems For Material Fixation

US Patent:
7879094, Feb 1, 2011
Filed:
Oct 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/923526
Inventors:
Kevin N. Baird - Phoenix AZ, US
Derek J. Harper - Prescott AZ, US
Joe P. Kovalski - Ventura CA, US
Joanne Kovalski, legal representative - Ventura CA, US
Kenneth D. Montgomery - Roslyn NY, US
Assignee:
Cayenne Medical, Inc. - Scottsdale AZ
International Classification:
A61F 2/08
F16B 13/04
A61B 17/04
US Classification:
623 1314, 623 1311, 623 1312, 411 32, 606 62, 606300
Abstract:
A soft tissue fixation system, most typically applicable to orthopedic joint repairs, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee repair procedures, comprises an implant which is placeable in a tunnel disposed in a portion of bone, wherein the tunnel is defined by walls comprised of bone. A first member is deployable outwardly to engage the tunnel walls for anchoring the implant in place in the tunnel, and a second member is deployable outwardly to engage tissue material to be fixed within the tunnel. The second member also functions to move the tissue material outwardly into contact with the tunnel walls to promote tendon-bone fixation. Extra graft length is eliminated by compression of the tendon against the bone at the aperture of the femoral tunnel, which more closely replicates the native ACL and increases graft stiffness. The inventive device provides high fixation of tendon to bone and active tendon-bone compression. Graft strength has been found to be greater than 1,000 N (Newtons), which is desirable for ACL reconstruction systems.

Self-Tapping Biocompatible Interference Bone Screw

US Patent:
2009019, Aug 6, 2009
Filed:
Jan 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/363571
Inventors:
Jordan A. Hoof - Phoenix AZ, US
Kevin N. Baird - Phoenix AZ, US
Derek J. Harper - Scottsdale AZ, US
Assignee:
CAYENNE MEDICAL, INC. - Scottsdale AZ
International Classification:
A61B 17/86
US Classification:
606301, 606305, 606309
Abstract:
A biocompatible interference screw for soft tissue or bone-to-bone fixation comprises a screw body extending from a screw head to a distal tip of the screw. The screw body has an outer surface, and comprises polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) material. Advantageously, the body outer surface has a textured surface finish for substantially improving pull-out strength of the interference screw. The textured surface finish is textured, in preferred embodiments, with a minimum of approximately 16 micro inches of surface roughness. The screw head comprises a tapered square keyhole for receiving a distal end of a driver instrument. The screw comprises a series of threads, which have a relatively smooth profile, in order to prevent graft tissue laceration as the screw is being inserted. The distal tip of the screw body comprises a narrow tip, and a distal end of the screw body is angled inwardly toward the narrow distal tip.

Self-Adjusting Suture Construct

US Patent:
2020038, Dec 10, 2020
Filed:
Nov 16, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/769516
Inventors:
- Warsaw IN, US
Derek J. Harper - Scottsdale AZ, US
Kevin N. Baird - Scottsdale AZ, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/04
Abstract:
A self-adjusting suture construct can include a suture extending from a passive end to an active end. The passive end can include a first loop that the active end can be passed through to form a second loop. The active end can then be pulled to tighten the second loop around a portion of a patient's anatomy. The active end can be passed through an anchor and the anchor can be implanted to lock the tightened second loop.

Systems And Methods For Repairing Soft Tissues Using Nanofiber Material

US Patent:
2020020, Jul 2, 2020
Filed:
Mar 11, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/815507
Inventors:
- SCOTTSDALE AZ, US
Derek J. Harper - Scottsdale AZ, US
Kevin S. Nason - Chandler AZ, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/04
Abstract:
An anchoring system is a combination of a nanofiber scaffold material and an arthroscopically deployable suture anchor. The anchor is deployed into a bone tunnel using common techniques. The nanofiber material extends out of the proximal end of the implant, once deployed. The implant also includes pre-loaded sutures or has the ability to accept and lock sutures to the implant. For an implant pre-loaded with suture, the implant is placed into the bone, the material is deployed above the anchor onto the surface of the bone, suture is passed through the soft tissue, and knots are tied to secure the tissue against the bone, sandwiching the material between the bone and tissue, to provide a pathway for cells from the bone marrow to the soft tissue-bone interface, promote the healing response, provide a biomimetic structure that cells readily adhere to, and create a larger healing footprint.
