Patent number: 11925397Abstract: A system for fixating a bone includes a buckle having a plurality of lock bars and a hook. A cord may connect the hook with an opposite end of the buckle and around a bone. The buckle may include lock bars on the opposite end of the buckle to receive the cord and allow a frictional resistance to a loosening of the cord around the bone to facilitate a reduction of a fracture of the bone.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: MEDARTIS AGInventors: Lon S.

Publication number: 20240057990Abstract: A suture anchoring system includes a suture anchor and an anchor insertion device. The suture anchor has an elongated anchor body having proximal and distal ends and a long axis, with an elongated axial drive opening extending along the long axis. A plurality of axial drive grooves has a long axis parallel to the long axis of the elongated anchor body, a radially inward and axially extending groove opening communicating with the axial drive opening, a contact surface radially outward from the groove opening, and side surfaces connecting the contact surface and the groove opening. The radially outward contact surface has a greater width than that of the groove opening. Threads are provided on the outside surface of the anchor body. The drive shaft has radially outwardly extending axial drive projections configured to mate with the axial drive grooves.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Greg Denham, Joel Harshbarger, Adrian Bosworth
