Drill Pin For Suture Passing
US Patent:
2010021, Aug 26, 2010
Filed:
Feb 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/709314
Inventors:
Jacob A. Jolly - Naples FL, US
Robert T. Burks - Salt Lake City UT, US
Robert T. Burks - Salt Lake City UT, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/06
US Classification:
606223
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for anatomical tissue repair, such as ligament repair and reconstruction with suture and/or graft passage, employing a pin with a suture passing mechanism. The suture passing mechanism may include a loop (for example, a wire loop or suture loop) securely attached to a pin (for example, a drill pin). The loop may be crimped onto the pin, or welded on the end of the drill pin (in place of the eyelet formed within the pin), to alleviate the difficulty in threading the eyelet and to lower the manufacturing cost of the pin. The suture passing mechanism may alternatively include a slotted suture eyelet (i.e., a longitudinal slot) provided at a proximal end of a pin, to allow suture loading from the side of the instrument.
