Method And Device For Delivering Medicine To Bone
US Patent:
7608062, Oct 27, 2009
Filed:
Oct 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/682307
Inventors:
Patrick J. Sweeney - Flossmoor IL, US
Assignee:
Spinal Generations, LLC - Olympia Fields IL
International Classification:
A61M 5/00
US Classification:
604264, 606 62
Abstract:
Fenestrated bone screws and inserts disposed therein are provided for the delivery of medicants to bone. The bone screws provide a method to strengthen or repair damaged bones, or to promote bony fusion, and in conjunction with the inserts, provide a method of delivering a continuous or regulated amount of medicant to a desired location within the bone such as a fracture interface. In one embodiment, the inserts are customized in size, shape, or configuration after the bone screw has been inserted into the patient.
