Patent number: 11490942Abstract: A device includes an outer sleeve of flexible material forming an outer conduit extending longitudinally therethrough for the insertion of a bone treatment device (“BTD”) to target sites within a living body. A distal opening of the outer conduit is open so that, when the outer sleeve is in a desired position within the body, BTD is inserted through the outer conduit exits the outer sleeve adjacent to a target portion of a bone. The device also includes an inner sleeve received within the outer sleeve and defining an inner conduit within the outer conduit to form a protective covering. The inner sleeve is split longitudinally. Portions of the inner sleeve on opposite sides of the split are coupled to one another so that a diameter of the inner conduit is adjustable in response to forces exerted thereon by one of BTD and tissues surrounding the outer sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: DEPUY SYNTHES PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Gaser El Zoghbi, This Aebi, Henri Défossez, André Weber, Robert Uehlinger, John V.

Patent number: 8591512Abstract: An implant comprises a deformable gas tight sack. The sack comprises a first chamber in fluid communication with an obturatable opening, the chamber filled or fillable with a filling material filling the first chamber. The implant is configured such that when one or both of a gas and fluid surrounding the filling material is removed from the first chamber through the opening, a wall of the first chamber forms around and holds the filling material. This causes the implant to transition from a relatively flexible insertion state to a relatively rigid fixation state in which the implant is fixable in the target portions of bone.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Depuy Synthes Products, LLCInventors: Andreas Appenzeller, Philippe Gedet, Andre Weber, Christian Gerber
