An aspiration apparatus is described that includes a guide and a set of needles. The guide preferably has an approximately conical shape with a decreasing diameter in the distal direction. A plurality of lumens extend between a distal end portion and a proximal end portion of the guide. The needles have a tubular wall and are slidingly positionable in the lumens. The needles include a longitudinal section of the tubular wall that has a plurality of apertures that decrease in size in the proximal direction. The apertures define an approximately conically shaped area of harvest. The aspiration apparatus can connect to an external source of reduced pressure through the guide or directly to each needle.

A spinal aspiration apparatus is described that includes a needle that has a shape suitable for the location of and penetration through a pedicle pathway of a vertebra The distal end portion of the spinal aspiration apparatus includes a plurality of apertures that are in fluid communication with a lumen of needle The size and angular orientation of the apertures are constructed using the principles of fluid mechanics to create separate and distinct harvest volumes of bone marrow within a body of vertebra A proximal end portion of needle includes an external interface that is adapted to provide a fluid tight coupling with an external source of reduced pressure. A handle is connected to proximal end portion that aids in the manipulation of needle

A suture button apparatus is described that comprises a first button, a plate, a second button and a set of sutures. The first button includes a tubular wall that includes a proximal end portion and an opposed distal end portion that define a central longitudinal axis. An inner surface of the tubular wall defines an aperture aligned with the central longitudinal axis and an outer surface of the tubular wall includes threads. The plate defines at least one aperture that receives and connects with the first button. The set of sutures connect the first button and the second button. The set of sutures connect the first and second buttons.

A tamping apparatus is described that includes a cannula that has a tubular wall that includes a distal end portion that defines a tamping face. The cannula defines a longitudinally aligned aperture or lumen that provides access for an insert and the injection of treatment materials such as a bone graft. The distal end portion of the cannula can also include a plurality of movable elements that can be a part of or connected to the tubular wall. The tamp apparatus can also include a cannula or stylet that can be moved within aperture of cannula to move elements between the first position and second position of tamp apparatus.

An aspiration apparatus is described that includes a guide and a set of needles. Guide preferably has an approximately conical shape with a decreasing diameter in the distal direction. A plurality of lumens extend between a distal end portion and a proximal end portion of guide. Lumens have distal openings in distal end portion and proximal openings in proximal end portion. Lumens are acute and oblique to the longitudinal axis and diverge from each other and the central longitudinal axis as they extend distally from distal openings. Needles have a tubular wall and are slidingly positionable in lumens. Needles include a longitudinal section of tubular wall that has a plurality of apertures that decrease in size in the proximal direction. Apertures define an approximately conically shaped area of harvest. Aspiration apparatus can connect to an external source of reduced pressure through guide or directly to each needle.

An elongated cannula with an inner tube that is designed to cooperate with a corresponding outer tube. The cannula may include a cam mechanism, a plurality of flexible members designed to expand and deploy when the inner and outer tubes move relative to each other, and a pressure ring disposed on the outer tube. The inner and outer tubes are slidably moveable relative to each other in at least one direction.

A clear view cannula is described that includes a first tube, a second tube and a counter-pressure ring. The tubes are concentric, adjoined and define a longitudinally aligned aperture. The cannula has a first position for penetration or removal from a patient and a second position in which a shield structure is deployed within the patient. The ring provides a counter-pressure force that opposes the force applied by the shield structure in the second position and stabilizes the angular position of the cannula in the body of the patient. Detents in the tubes define the first position and the second position of the cannula and limit the travel between the tubes.
