Abstract: The present application describes various embodiments of guides that include one or more removable struts. The guides may include at least two guide portions that are connected to one another via at least one strut. In embodiments, the at least one strut may be designed such that it could be disconnected from at least one of the guide portions. The removable feature of the strut allows a surgeon to perform an osteotomy procedure by using the cutting slots and other relevant markings defined on the secured portions of the guide.

Abstract: In an aspect, a method of manufacturing a surgical kit includes providing one or more medical devices based on a three-dimensional (3D) image of an anatomical structure. The method additionally includes providing packaging based on the 3D image, and providing the surgical kit utilizing the packaging and the one or more medical devices. In another aspect, a surgical kit has one or more contoured packaging surface having a contour that matches a contour of an anatomical structure. The contoured packaging surface has one or more features for receiving one or more medical devices provided based on the contour in the 3D image. The surgical kit additionally has a lid connected under pressure with the one or more contoured packaging surface. The lid has apertures for sterilization of components of the one or more medical devices situated between the lid and the contoured packaging surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a burr hole cover (e.g., burr hole cover) and method of manufacturing such apparatus. The burr hole cover disclosed herein may be multi-functional in that it may be used to: (a) form a burr hole which provides access to the brain, and (b) facilitate concealing the burr hole without employing any fastening devices (e.g., surgical screws, wires, etc.). In embodiments, the burr hole cover may include a sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a hollowed portion. In embodiments, the outer surface of the sleeve may define external serrations. The sleeve may be configured to create a burr hole in a skull, and the external serrations may be configured to secure the sleeve within the burr hole. The burr hole cover may also include a plate configured to fit with the sleeve and conceal the burr hole.

Abstract: A burr hole cover is provided that is constructed to be positioned within a recessed region formed on a patient's skull in order to conceal a burr hole. The burr hole cover may be affixed to the patient's skull in the recessed region. For instance, surgical fastening devices may be inserted through apertures defined in the burr hole cover. The burr hole cover may have a thickness and curvature that enables it to be substantially flush with the surface of the skull when affixed in the recessed region. The burr hole cover's curvature follows the contour of the patient's skull. The burr hole cover may include one or more perforations sized to allow air (or moisture) to flow towards the burr hole, which promotes skin/bone growth. Some of the perforations may be large enough to permit access to the brain with leads and/or drainage devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a surgical guide comprising a cutting guide defining a plurality of cutting slots and including at least one removable insert positioned between the plurality of cutting slots. The at least one removable insert defines an aperture which is designed to receive a surgical fastening device. The surgical guide further comprises a template guide which defines a feature. The at least one removable insert is designed to fit in the template guide at least in part using the feature.

Abstract: The present application describes various embodiments of guides that are designed in accordance with one or more anatomical landmarks near an operated bone (or portion thereof). In aspects, at least a portion of a guide is designed to conform to the shape of one or more anatomical landmarks in order to attach (or latch) the guide to at least one of the one or more anatomical landmarks. In aspects, the contact surface (or inner contour) of a guide may also be designed to follow at least a portion of the contour of the operated bone. The landmark-conforming and/or contour-following design of the guide may assist surgeons in the placement of the guide.

Abstract: In an aspect, a method of manufacturing a surgical kit includes providing one or more medical devices based on a three-dimensional (3D) image of an anatomical structure. The method additionally includes providing packaging based on the 3D image, and providing the surgical kit utilizing the packaging and the one or more medical devices. In another aspect, a surgical kit has one or more contoured packaging surface having a contour that matches a contour of an anatomical structure. The contoured packaging surface has one or more features for receiving one or more medical devices provided based on the contour in the 3D image. The surgical kit additionally has a lid connected under pressure with the one or more contoured packaging surface. The lid has apertures for sterilization of components of the one or more medical devices situated between the lid and the contoured packaging surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure sets forth a system and method for forming sheets of material, such as titanium mesh or plates, for surgical applications prior to surgery. The disclosed solutions provide this capability without incurring expense from use of PEEK or PEKK by manufacturing contoured plates based on a shape of an anatomical structure in a 3D image, such as a pre-defect MRI. The contoured plates are used to stamp the titanium mesh, plate, or other sheet of material into the shape of the bone prior to the defect. In some aspects, the mesh or other material layer can also be trimmed prior to surgery using, for example, a reproduction of the anatomical structure manufactured from a post-defect MRI of the same anatomical structure.
