  • Publication number: 20140209501
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improving the shelf life of a medical graft generally comprising a medical implant container having at least one graft cavity configured to hold at least one graft under a first vacuum and a needle entry port in fluid communication with the at least one graft cavity, the needle entry port being configured to receive and communicate a material to the at least one graft cavity and an outer chamber configured to hold the medical implant container under a second vacuum.

  • Patent number: 8192466
    Abstract: A conical interspinous apparatus comprising: an insertion portion with a proximal end, a distal end, and conical screw-shaped grooves configured to distract two adjacent spinous processes; a shaft portion, coupled to the distal end of the insertion portion, and having a smaller cross-section than a cross-section at the distal end of the insertion portion, such that the two spinous processes rest on the shaft portion; and a clamp portion being movable and securable along the shaft, and being configured to secure the two spinous processes between the clamp portion and the distal end of the insertion portion.

  • Patent number: 8080060
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing an improved apparatus and packaging system to more expeditiously hydrate or reconstitute medical grafts and to effectively and uniformly seed the medical grafts with biological components and cells. The systems generally comprise a container comprising entry port, at least one substrate cavity, and top, side and bottom walls defining an inner surface. The entry port is configured to receive the biological solution. The cavity is in communication with the entry port and includes the porous substrate maintained under negative pressure. The container volume is substantially the same as a volume of the porous substrate. The side and bottom walls are configured to promote a laminar flow of the biological solution received through the entry port.
