Apparatus and method for use in repairs of injured soft tissue

A method, system and apparatus for augmenting the surgical repair of soft tissue injuries, in which a first end of a bridge member attaches to a first portion of healthy tissue, and a second end of the bridge member attaches to a second portion of healthy tissue. The bridge member (or bridge members) used to augment the soft tissue repair may be interconnected or function independently. Flexibility and elasticity of the bridge member are determined by the situation and may be altered to improve healing. The device may be used in arthroscopic procedures, and may be manufactured in a variety of lengths, or may be manufactured one length and be cut to the desired length, or otherwise altered to provide an optimal length of the bridge member.

Tendon repair using tension-slide technique

InactiveUS20090105754A1Suture equipmentsDiagnosticsTendon healingBiomechanics
Tension-slide techniques and reconstruction systems for tendon surgical repairs. The technique improves the biomechanics of the combined fixation and helps overcome surgeons' concerns about rapid return to ADLs. The technique reliably seats the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket, maximizing the surface area for bone to tendon healing. The technique takes advantage of cortical fixation, while providing the unique advantage of minimizing gap formation and minimizes surgical dissection by performing the surgery through a single incision technique.

Systems and methods for electrosurgical treatment of fasciitis

InactiveUS20060189971A1Minimize and completely eliminate and damageExpand field of viewStentsHeart valvesFasciitisDamages tissue
Systems, apparatus, and methods are provided for promoting blood flow to a target tissue. In one aspect, the invention involves canalizing or boring channels, divots, trenches or holes through an avascular connective tissue, or through a tissue having sparse vascularity, such as a tendon or a meniscus, in order to increase blood flow within the tissue. In one method, an active electrode is positioned in close proximity to a target site on a tendon, and a high frequency voltage difference is applied between the active electrode and a return electrode to selectively ablate tendon tissue at the target site, thereby forming a channel or void in the tendon. The active electrode(s) may be moved relative to the tendon during, or after, the application of electrical energy to damage or sculpt a void within the tendon, such as a hole, channel, crater, or the like. In another aspect of the invention, an electrosurgical probe is used to elicit a wound healing response in a target tissue, such as an injured tendon, in order to stimulate vascularization of the target tissue. The present invention may also be used for vascularization of a torn or damaged tissue in conjunction with a surgical repair procedure.

Biodegradable polyurethane/urea compositions

The present invention relates to biocompatible, biodegradable polyurethane / urea polymeric compositions that are capable of in-vivo curing with low heat generation to form materials suitable for use in scaffolds in tissue engineering applications such as bone and cartilage repair. The polymers are desirably flowable and injectable and can support living biological components to aid in the healing process. They may be cured ex-vivo for invasive surgical repair methods, or alternatively utilized for relatively non-invasive surgical repair methods such as by arthroscope. The invention also relates to prepolymers useful in the preparation of the polymeric compositions, and to methods of treatment of damaged tissue using the polymers of the invention.

Method for surgically repairing a damaged ligament

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgical repair technique involves the use of a single femoral and tibial tunnel and an implant that separates and positions two distinct bundles. This allows for the surgeon to create a more anatomic reconstruction with a procedure that is less technically demanding, can be performed using a transtibial or anteromedial approach, minimizes tunnel widening, and decreases operative time. The result is a strong fixation option for soft tissue grafts, with circumferential graft compression at the aperture, high pull-out strength, and ease of use. The graft bundles are positioned in a more anatomic orientation through the above noted single femoral and tibial tunnel.

Apparatus, method and system for the deployment of surgical mesh

An apparatus, method and system for the deployment of surgical mesh material, which are particularly suited for the use in the laparoscopic surgical repair of hernias. An inner actuator rod slides within a main shaft. Mesh deployment arms are connected to an end of the shaft, and a surgical mesh is mounted to and rolled around the deployment arms. An outer housing slides over the main shaft, the deployment arms, and conformed mesh. By sliding the main shaft in a first direction, the mesh is exposed and the actuator rod is retracted, which actively flexes the deployment arms, thereby unfurling the mesh. By sliding the main shaft in an opposite direction, the to tension on the deployment arms is relaxed, and the deployment arms disengage from the actuator rod allowing the deployment apparatus to be withdrawn from the mesh.
