The Bone Dust Trap for collecting bone dust during various surgical procedures for subsequent bone graft implantation. The device includes cylindrical housing unit covered with the lid, attached to the central pipe with the porous tip. The pipe connects the cyclone forming mechanism and filtrating membrane, located at the lower part of the central pipe. The membrane interlinks with the plurality of porous plates located along the walls of the cylinder. The cyclone forming mechanism, consisting of the inlet port with conical jet and the spiral helix, creates spiral movement of the incoming fluid. The liquid is further directed towards the 2-stage filtrating system with the said porous plates, where larger bone particles are accumulated, and then to the filtrating membrane, which collects smaller particles. The fluid is extracted through the central pipe. The lid can be removed to collect the bone particles from plates and membrane.

A bone preparation system kit includes a hand piece, tubing coupled to an input of the hand piece, and a nozzle with a nozzle tip coupled to an output port of the hand piece. The hand piece includes an internal passageway extending there through from the inlet port to the outlet port for forming a flow path and further includes a valve stem supported therein for movement across the internal passageway for opening and closing the internal passageway wherein flow along the flow path is blocked by the valve stem. The hand piece also includes a trigger configured to move the valve stem to thereby control the flow of fluid through the hand piece. The hand piece, nozzle, and tubing are sterilized and enclosed in a package, such as plastic or metal foil package, including a plastic or metal foil pouch, which is configured to maintain the sterilization of said bone preparation system.

A predictive needle insertion device including a needle having a proximal needle end and a distal needle end is disclosed. A probe is movably coupled to the needle such that the probe is capable of extending beyond the distal needle end. An actuator is operable to actuate the probe to apply a mechanical force to a tissue composition. A force sensor and position sensor are configured to determine a resistive force of the tissue composition and an insertion distance of the probe, respectively. A processor is communicatively coupled to the force sensor and the position sensor, and is configured to receive sensor data indicative of a mechanical response to the mechanical force and the insertion distance of the probe, and to implement a predictive model that, based on the sensor data, predicts a forward distance to a remote position of a remote tissue portion of the tissue composition.

An apparatus for penetrating bone and accessing bone marrow is provided. The apparatus may include a penetrator assembly and a powered drill. The penetrator assembly may include an inner penetrator having a stylet. The penetrator assembly may also include an outer penetrator having a hollow cannula and a luer lock attachment. The powered drill may include a housing enclosing a motor and a power supply and associated circuitry. The powered drill may also include a connector receptacle for receiving a penetrator assembly connector of the penetrator assembly. The powered drill may include a magnetic connection which releasably locks the penetrator assembly connector into place with the powered drill. The power supply may include a rechargeable battery within the housing for supplying power to the motor. A battery indicator may be provided to indicate a level of the battery.

An intraosseous tack device is configured to puncture alveolar bone or other human or animal bone at a targeted site of the mouth or body to provide an access point for the delivery of local anesthesia or other medicament. The device includes a tack having a body portion and an elongate member extending from the body portion. The elongate member is formed as a solid structure configured for puncturing targeted bone. The body portion includes an attachment feature enabling attachment to a standard syringe or to a customized handle.

A portable and passive safety intraosseous device to allow for direct introduction of medications, etc., within the intermedullary space of a subject patient's bone or, if needed, the removal of certain substances from such a subject patient's bone. Such a device permits direct drilling and placement of a cannula within the subject bone with access external to the subject patient's skin, permitting, as well, connection of a tube for such introduction/removal purposes. The ability to provide a passive safety unit allows for facilitated utilization in, for instance, emergency situations with the entire device provided for utilization thereof. The device includes a drilling component with a permanently attached stylet and a removable cannula, a power supply for a single drilling operation, a mechanism to draw the stylet back into the drill component after use and disengagement from the cannula, and an automatic closure that activates with the separation of the cannula.

Methods of harvesting cancellous bone and bone marrow include extracting loosened cancellous bone and bone marrow—including a liquid component thereof—to a collection container that has a first cup and a suction port to which a suction source is connected. After extraction, the suction source is disconnected and a lid of the collection container is removed and replaced with a lid having a plunger with a press head that is configured to filter the extracted liquid by depressing the plunger toward a bottom of the first cup. The filtered liquid is poured through a suction port into a second cup while depressing the plunger, thereby separating the liquid from a semi-solid mass of cancellous bone that remains. The bone is extracted through a cortical opening in the femur, tibia, or calcaneus, or from an intermedullary canal that is preferably formed by reaming of the tibia using an orthopedic reamer.

An apparatus and method for external anteversion correction of an intact bone may include a first arcuate segment, a second arcuate segment rotatably coupled to the first arcuate segment, a first pin extending from the first arcuate segment to a proximal segment of the intact bone, a second pin extending from the second arcuate segment to a distal segment of the intact bone, and a control mechanism attached to the first and second arcuate segments. The control mechanism may rotate the first arcuate segment relative to the second arcuate segment to exert torsional force on the intact bone between the proximal and distal segments of the intact bone, thereby externally reducing anteversion of the intact bone.

Apparatus and methods are provided to penetrate a bone and associated bone marrow using a powered driver. The powered driver is operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow. The powered driver may include a housing having a distal end and a proximal end; a drive shaft having a first end disposed within the housing; a motor disposed within the housing and rotatably engaged with the drive shaft; a power supply to supply power to the motor; and a trigger assembly to activate the motor to rotate the drive shaft. A light may be connected to the power supply and operable to illuminate an insertion site for the intraosseous device.

A time saving sit on cardio pulmonary resuscitation device and method wherein the said device for providing cpr is adopted with an arrangement to seat a person and enable the start of cpr within five minutes of a heart attack affecting a patient, comprising of a reciprocating resuscitation force applicator where a counter force to the reactive force arising on applying compression force for resuscitation, said counter force being provided by the weight of a person sitting on the seating means and a belt based drive conveyance means forming a loop from top of a enclosure box allowing cpr without latching. A very clearly understandable, unambiguous, two step method of sitting on the device placed around the patient body, no confusion, no decision steps, no mental thinking on what to do. The device takes care of most decisions automatically.
