Filed:

Jul 21, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/840931

Inventors:

Reinhold Schmieding - Naples FL, US
Robert Benedict - Naples FL, US

Assignee:

Arthrex, Inc. - Naples FL

International Classification:

A61M 31/00
A61M 5/00
A61M 5/315

US Classification:

604 60, 604 59, 604187, 604218

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for delivering a clotted biological component (such as blood, autologous conditioned plasma (ACP), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate (BMA), demineralized bone matrix, anticoagulants and/or clotting agents, or combination of these materials) into a tissue void (for example, a bone void such as a bone tunnel, socket, opening or cavity), and then cutting the clotted biological component with a cutting or shearing mechanism at the tissue surface. The apparatus is provided with a tube and a cutting or shearing mechanism (provided on or within the distal end of the tube) that is actuated to cut or break off the clot at the desired insertion length. The tube may then be placed over the next tissue void so that the obturator drives the next clot into the next tissue void until all tissue voids are filled. Upon insertion at the defect site, the biological component advances the healing of the damaged tissue and tissue growth.

International Classification:

A61F 2/30

US Classification:

623 2373

Abstract:

Techniques, mixtures, mixing and delivery kits, and improved delivery instruments for implantation of micronized allograft tissue over a microfractured defect. Allograft cartilage tissue is delivered over a cartilage defect that has been debrided and microfractured, without the need for a periosteal covering or separate type of patch sewn over the top. The allograft tissue may be any micronized cartilage particulates obtained by various methods, for example, cartilage delivered in its native form, dehydrated via lyophilization, “freeze-dried,” dehydrated via desiccation, or dehydrated by any other method.

A61L 27/36
A61F 2/30

US Classification:

604506, 604187, 604 82

Abstract:

Techniques, kits and a delivery instrument for providing a material at a defect repair site. The instrument is a combined delivery needle/elevator/paddle that includes a delivery needle and a paddle/elevator tip attached to the end of the needle and around the most distal opening of the needle. The combined needle/elevator/paddle instrument allows both delivery (insertion or injection) of the material/mixture as well as leveling/flattening of the delivered material. The mixture/material may be micronized allograft tissue such as BioCartilage and the surgical site may be a defect site such as a microfracture site or cartilage defect.
