Lamina plate assembly
11471197 · 2022-10-18 · ·

Lamina plate assemblies, systems, and methods thereof. A lamina plate assembly may be configured to provide lamina support following laminectomy, for example, in cervical and lumbar cases. The lamina plate assembly may include a generally elongate body having a first free end, a second free end, and a posterior portion disposed between the first free end and the second free end. Different embodiments of securing portions are used to secure the lamina plate assembly to a vertebra.

Self-contouring plate for bone fractures
20230125463 · 2023-04-27 ·

The self-contouring plate for bone fractures allows a surgeon to bridge a bone fracture, primarily in bones of complex shape where the use of plates or screws is difficult. The self-contouring plate is formed from a series of similar or identical rigid elements, the elements able to bend and rotate with respect to each other. This flexibility is initially helpful as the surgeon contours the device to the shape of the bone. When the desired shape is reached, the elements are locked into place. The length of device is adjusted by adding or removing elements, much like a necklace. Each element of the self-contouring plate includes a ball that extends away from a body, a cavity for receiving the ball of the neighboring plate, and a screw to compress the ball within the cavity.

Fold-up containment device for bone defects

A bone graft system includes a two-dimensional mesh sheet sized and shaped to, when folded along fold lines, form a three-dimensional graft containment structure configured to be packed with a bone graft material for placement within a target area of a bone, the mesh sheet including a first end flap connected to a remaining portion of the mesh sheet via a first fold line and a second end flap connected to the remaining portion of the mesh sheet via a second fold line, a third fold line extending from the first fold line to the second fold line so that the remaining portion is configured to be wrapped around folded first and second end flaps to form the graft containment structure, the first and second end flaps substantially corresponding to a profile of the target area of the bone.

ELASTIC PROSTHETICS OF RIBS

A prosthesis for splinting or replacing a rib, characterized in that it comprises a piece curved in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse sense, which defines a concave face and a convex face, said prosthesis having a warping on its longitudinal axis and two or more transverse grooves on its convex face to support the means for fixing the ribs. The prosthesis may eventually contain a line of radiopaque material that facilitates its radiological visibility.

Hybrid bone plate

A bone fixation plate comprises a main body formed of a first material and a support member formed of a second, different material and attached to the main body. The main body defines a first set of openings and the support member defines a second set of openings aligned with the first set of openings. For each opening of the first set of openings, a main body circumferential surface is disposed adjacent and continuous with a support member circumferential surface of the second set of openings to define an opening circumferential surface that bounds an opening of the first set of openings and an opening of the second set of openings.

Bone fusion/fixation device and related systems and methods

The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to bone fixation or fusion devices, including intramedullary fixation or fusion devices that are implanted around the target bone. Certain device embodiments relates to devices that can be bent or otherwise deformed to replicate the natural or desired curve of the bone or joint being treated. In addition, other embodiments relate to implantation devices that can be used to implant or position the bone fixation or fusion devices.

Patella bone plate and methods of fixation

A patella fracture fixation system includes a bone plate that is configured to be implanted along an anterior approach. The bone plate has a fixation hub and a plurality of fixation nodes that are connected to the fixation hub. The fixation hub and the fixation nodes can define respective fixation holes. The bone plate can further include legs that are configured to be bent around respective inferior aspects of the patella.

Expandable penile prosthesis
11660193 · 2023-05-30 · ·

An embodiment includes a penile prosthetic comprising: an expandable conduit; a pump; a reservoir; a first conduit that couples the expandable conduit to the pump; a second conduit that couples the reservoir to the pump; and a plate that couples to the expandable conduit, wherein the plate includes a concave surface. Other embodiments are described herein.

MOULDED PLATES, FASTENED WITH CLAMPS FOR OSTEOSYNTHESIS AND ORTHOSIS, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS
20230157737 · 2023-05-25 ·

The invention is a solution for osteosynthesis made with molded metal sheets joined vertically and horizontally, fitted to the shape and dimensions of the fractured bone to keep it immobile and united. For the orthosis, it depicts metal sheets joined with horizontal and vertical movements, molded to the form and dimensions of vertebrae and joints to keep them separated. The sheet metals have wavy shapes, channels and undulations that give consistency and structural strength to bending, tension, shear and bends for joints. It also describes the process for the osteosynthesis with metal sheets and 3D printing, where the surgeon wraps the osteosynthesis or molded orthosis around the bone, vertebrae or joint, fastening it with clamps that tighten and lock with a surgical instrument, without screws. The sheet metals have viewpoint holes to see through during surgery and subsequent control with Roentgen. The clamps are in channels, which have micro-points on the side contacting the bone.
