Title: Knotless suture anchor for soft tissue repair and method of use
Inventor: VAN DER BURG ERIK
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2009-09-07
Granted: 2014-08-14
Abstract: KNOTLESS SUTURE ANCHOR FOR SOFT TISSUE REPAIR AND METHOD OF USE A knotless suture anchor provides a method for securing soft tissue to a rigid structure such as bone. The anchor has an inner member that receives suture thread and rotates within an outer tubular member. As the inner member rotates, the suture thread is wrapped onto the inner member thereby increasing contact with the outer tubular member which applies pressure to the wrapped suture thread to retain it in position on the inner member while simultaneously and adjustably tensioning the suture thread. A ratchet prevents undesirable counter-rotation, although the ratchet can be released to permit loosening of the suture thread. Also described is a suture bridge and suture platform for providing further stabilization of a tendon. A method for repairing rotator cuff tears is also described.

Title: Needle tip spring protector
Inventor: MUSKATELLO JAMES M
IPC: A61M5/178
Filed: 2009-06-22
Granted: 2013-05-09
Abstract: A needle tip spring protector for a needle (14) having a proximal end, a distal end (20), and a shaft (22) extending therebetween. The needle tip spring protector includes a spring (16) that circumferentially surrounds a portion of the needle shaft (22) and is restrained in a state wherein its inner diameter (30) is large enough to allow the shaft (22) to move freely within the spring (16). When the needle (14) is moved to a position in which its distal end (20) is at least partly within the spring (16), at least one of the ends of the spring (16) releases from restraint such that the spring (16) automatically returns to a state in which its inner diameter (30) is sized so as to grippingly engage the shaft (22) of the needle (14). Thus, after activation, the spring (16) securely surrounds the distal end (20) of the needle (14) to protect healthcare workers and others from accidental contact with the needle's distal end (20). When used in conjunction with a catheter assembly (100), the needle tip spring protector may passively release from the catheter hub (1 14) after the spring (16) is automatically activated.
