Embodiment Construction

[0049]FIGS. 1-2 illustrate one embodiment of prosthesis delivery and implantation system 100, hereby referred to as PDI system 100. Specifically, FIG. 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of PDI system 100 and FIG. 2 is an exploded isometric view of a preferred embodiment of PDI system 100. Generally, PDI system 100 may be used for repairing any flaw, imperfection, cut, incision, hole, or tear in various types of tissue throughout the human body. The term “tissue” as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to any collection of interconnected cells that perform a similar function within an organism. Examples of different types of biological tissue include epithelium, connective tissue (such as bone), muscle tissue and nervous tissue.

[0050]In this embodiment, PDI system 100 may be associated with delivery cannula 101. Generally, delivery cannula 101 may be any type of tube that is configured to insert into the body and may include one or more channels ...

Abstract

A prosthesis delivery and implantation system for tissue repair is disclosed. The implantation system includes provisions for manually applying a prosthesis to a treatment area. This system may be applied to heal any imperfections in various different types of tissue. The system also provides provisions for independently inserting two end portions of the prosthesis into tissue.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to implantation systems and in particular to a manual implantation system for tissue repair.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Currently, closure prostheses for repairing tears, cuts, holes or other imperfections in tissue operate by inserting two ends of a closure prosthesis into the tissue simultaneously, in effect “stapling” the prosthesis into place. Other known systems provide two different prostheses that include integrated stitches. Using this system, the doctor must implant both prostheses in different locations, grasp the loose ends of the stitches and then laboriously and manually tie or knot the stitches together. Current methods for implanting closure prostheses lack provisions to increase precision in the delivery of the prosthesis and to provide for increased control of implantation. There is a need in the art for a design that solves many of the problems of th...
