40 results about "Surgical anchor" patented technology

A suture anchor is a small device used during surgical procedures to attach soft tissue, such as ligaments and tendons, to bone. The size and type of anchor needed to secure the soft tissue is dependent on the density of the individual patient’s bone and the operation being performed.

Surgical sensor

An integrated surgical anchor / localization sensor is disclosed. The anchor is adapted to be secured to an anatomical structure and contains a sensor housing. A receiver is located within the sensor housing and is adapted to sense reference signals generated by a surgical guidance system. A transmitter, connected to the receiver, conveys to a processor signals received by the receiver, so that the signals transmitted by the receiver are indicative of a current position of the anchor. Various other structures and methods are also disclosed.

Surgical anchor device

An orthodontic anchor device (10) for a surgical traction element is described. The anchor device comprises a fixing device (12), which can be fixed in or to a bone in the mouth region, as well as a clamping device (18) coupled to the fixing device (12). The clamping device (18) has at least one locating region for the traction element as well as an oblique surface which can rotate relative to the locating region or which co-operates with a rotatable element. In order to produce a clamping force which fixes the traction element, a relative rotation takes place between the oblique surface and the rotatable element or between the oblique surface and the locating region.

Suture anchoring system and method

A suture anchoring system having an anchor structure through which at least one suture can extend, the anchor being compressible or deformable to anchor the suture, and a method for using the suture anchoring system by attaching one end of a suture to a muscle, ligament or bone; threading the suture through an osteal tunnel; providing a surgical anchor comprising a cuff of deformable material suitably shaped to receive a suture, wherein said cuff, when compressed, tightly grips a suture and forms a point of support, whereby said deformed anchor prevents a suture from being pulled through a drilled osteal tunnel; threading the other end of the suture through the anchor; and deforming said anchor tightly about the suture to form a point of support.

Soft tissue securing anchor

A surgical anchor is provided with one or more anchor holes distributed around the head of the anchor. Each anchor hole is inclined to allow attachment of one or more sutures to the anchor either before, during or after the anchor is seated in a bone. The upper and lower apertures of each anchor hole are chamfered, and the chamfered areas from the anchor hole to the outside edge shall be polished or somehow smoothed to remove sharp edges and rough areas which may cause friction and abrasion to soft tissue or suture material. The lower surface of the anchor head may be angled to further simplify the task of feeding a surgical needle through the anchor hole after the anchor is seated into the bone.

Surgical anchor

Surgical anchors can be utilized to approximate and hold soft tissue in, at, or near a boney insertion site. In some examples, the surgical anchors include a receiving body and a fixation member such as, for example, a fixation screw. The receiving body may include an elongated connecting member and an aperture defined at a distal end of the elongated connecting member. The aperture may be configured to receive a surgical attachment element. Depending on the configuration, the receiving body may be connected to the fixation member via the elongated connecting member such that the fixation member can move relative to the receiving body. Movement of the fixation member relative to the receiving body may allow a user to control and adjust the amount of tension placed on the surgical attachment element, which may enhance the mechanics of a repair operation.

Planning of surgical anchor placement location data

During a sEEG (stereo-electroencephalography) intervention into the skull of a patient, there is requirement to drill a large number of trajectories. Typically, instrument stabilisation platforms and robots for protocols requiring only one or two trajectories are rigidly fixed to the skull using surgical anchor members fixed into the skull around the one or two trajectories. However, because sEEG interventions require a large number of trajectories, an impractical number of surgical anchor members need to be fixed into the skull resulting in patient discomfort. Attachment of an intervention platform to all surgical anchor members is not required at once. Accordingly, it is proposed to search for intersection points of the maximum extent of an intervention platform between at least two trajectory entry points on an object of interest of patient, so that at least one surgical anchor member can be shared when the intersection point is at first and the second trajectories. Any reduction in the number of surgical anchor members inserted into a patient reduces risk and discomfort. The positioning of the shared anchor members can be optimised to enable good mechanical stability, and / or optical registration performance. Furthermore, the number of surgical anchor members required for intervention can be reduced. Because the surgical anchor members are sterilised and made from high quality metal, a cost for performing the procedure can also be reduced.

Vector compression system

The present disclosure describes surgical anchors and related devices and methods that can be used for surgical bone fracture fixation. Some implementations use a polymeric cored braided suture held in place by anchors on each side of a fracture. In some implementations, the anchors are secured into bone while maintaining high tension (e.g., relative to certain prior art methods) in the suture during the deployment process. Some implementations provide for tensioning (e.g., using a polymeric cored braided suture) to compress the fracture and hold the bone in place, functioning as though the suture has sewn the bone (e.g., fragments or portions) together. This can, for example, provide rigid fixation of a fracture which may be important for healing to occur. The tension preload can provide compression to maintain fixation in the face of tensile and shear loads applied to the bone (e.g., as a result of movement and weight bearing).
