Embodiment Construction

[0117] The invention features devices, methods, all of which can be used in connection with treating or repairing damaged tissue, such as tissue associated with structures of the knee, and more particularly, repairing damaged menisci , systems and device kits. More specifically, the invention features implant / anchor deployment devices / modules, a modular kit concept for implementing one or more such implant / anchor deployment devices / modules, implant / anchor deployment devices / modules, A system for deploying nails within tissue, and methods for using such implants / anchors to treat damaged tissue (such as, for example, for deploying one or more anchors / implants during a meniscal repair procedure) method).

[0118] This implant / anchor deployment device / module is also configured and arranged so that it can be removably fastened to a conventional surgical device (such as a suture cutter) that can also be used during the surgical procedure . However, such surgical devices are not o...

Abstract

Featured is an implant / anchor deployment device / module (100), a device kit (300) concept using such an implant / anchor deployment device / module, a system for deploying an implant / anchor (120) into tissue, and a method for treating damaged tissue using such an implant / anchor deployment device / module such as for example, a method for deploying one or more anchors / implants during a meniscal repair procedure. Such a deployment device / module includes a body member (110) having a proximal end portion (114) and a distal end portion (112), the distal end portion being configured so that an implant / anchor can be deployed therefrom. Also, the proximal end portion is configured so as to be removably attached to a first end portion of a surgical device (200). In exemplary embodiments, the surgical device includes a suture cutter as known in the endoscopy arts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to modular tissue repair kits, and more particularly to tissue repair kits comprising a modular implant / anchor deployment device coupled to another surgical device, and even more particularly to a removably attached This modular implant / anchor deployment device is connected to a suture cutter from which the combined implant is deployed. The invention also features surgical methods utilizing such modular tissue repair kits and modular implant / anchor deployment devices, and more particularly, surgical procedures for use in repairing damaged menisci method. Background technique [0002] The best prognosis for meniscus repair comes from establishing the correct reduction of the torn tissue. During arthroscopic procedures, the meniscus is often inaccessible and more difficult to repair. This situation is due to the risk of neurovascular injury. Currently, the method representing the gold standard for restoration is suture-b...
