Graft Anchor
US Patent:
6599289, Jul 29, 2003
Filed:
Mar 10, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/523067
Inventors:
Ray Bojarski - Attleboro MA
Ben K. Graf - Madison WI
Ben K. Graf - Madison WI
Assignee:
Smith Nephew, Inc. - Memphis TN
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
606 60, 606 73, 623 1314
Abstract:
A device for securing a graft in a bone tunnel includes an anchoring member having a graft supporting surface. The anchoring member is configured to be positioned within the bone tunnel distal of an interference member with the graft retained by the graft supporting surface and extending proximally from the anchoring member. The anchoring member has an engaging surface for engaging a distal end of the interference member to limit movement of the graft relative to the interference member.
Controlled Release Of Biopharmaceutical Growth Factors From Hydroxyapatite Coating On Bioresorbable Interference Screws Used In Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery
US Patent:
8075562, Dec 13, 2011
Filed:
Jun 25, 2008

Assignee:

International Classification:
A61B 17/56, A61B 17/58, C07K 14/51
US Classification:
606 77, 606 53, 424484, 424486, 514 88
Abstract:
Controlled release of biopharmaceutical growth factors from a hydroxyapatite coating on a bioresorbable interference screw used in cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery on a human. Biologically active scaffolds, such as interference bone screws used for ligament fixation, made by growing calcium phosphate-based hydroxyapatite coatings on bioresorbable poly(α-hydroxy ester) scaffolds that provide controlled mineral dissolution and controlled release of bone morphogenetic protein-2. The biologically active scaffold provides improved bioavailability of BMP-2 growth factor that in turn provides enhanced graft-bone healing in the tibial bone tunnel. The coating method uses surface hydrolysis and modified simulated body fluid incubation which does not require solvent or heat and is conducted at room temperature.

International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606151
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a soft tissue graft anchor. The anchor includes a plurality of prongs, each prong including a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the prongs are coupled at their distal ends to form an inner cavity having an opening, at least one of the prongs including a fin, the fin extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the prong and including a pointed end. A tissue graft anchor assembly, a method for tissue repair, and instrumentation for use therewith are also disclosed.

Assignee:
Smith & Nephew, Inc., a Delaware Corporation
International Classification:
A61B017/86
US Classification:
606/073000, 623/013140
Abstract:
A graft anchor includes an anchor member for placement in bone tissue. The anchor member defines an opening. An inner member is insertably securable into the anchor member opening. A fastener is configured such that insertion and securing of the inner member into the anchor member opening results in a holding force being applied to the graft. The anchor member is of limited length to maintain its distal end within the bone. The anchor member includes a distal drive opening for receiving a drive tool and the inner member includes a proximal drive opening for receiving the drive tool. The fastener includes channels for containing the graft, a fastener body with protrusions extending from the fastener body for penetrating bone tissue, and a reinforcing member contained within the fastener body.
Methods Of Decorating Hydroxyapatite Biomaterials With Modular Biologically Active Molecules

International Classification:
B05D 1/18, B05D 1/28
US Classification:
427429, 4274301
Abstract:
A modular peptide design strategy wherein the modular peptide has two functional units separated by a spacer portion is disclosed. More particularly, the design strategy combines a hydroxyapatite-binding portion and a biomolecule-derived portion. The modular peptides have improved non-covalent binding to the surface of the HA-based materials, and are capable of initiating osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and/or osteogenic differentiation.
