Publication number: 20170303962Abstract: An apparatus and method for introducing portals into bone is described herein. An example apparatus for introducing portals into bone includes a handle, a base, and a driving member. The driving member can be made to project past the base by operating the handle. The base is detachable from the handle. The apparatus also includes a guide coupled at a first end to the handle and at a second end to the base. The base is detachably coupled to the guide. A base coupling detachably coupling the base to the guide includes an actuating member movable between a coupled configuration wherein the base is coupled to the guide and an uncoupled configuration wherein the base is released from the guide. The actuating member is arranged so that motion of the handle toward the base moves the actuating member from the coupled configuration to the uncoupled configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2017Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Gregory Vincent BROWNE, Werner Reinhard SIMBECK, Christopher Grant DENNY, David Brian BONAR, Terence GILHULY

Publication number: 20170266398Abstract: Described herein are introducer devices and methods for using an introducer device to facilitate passing an endoluminal instrument to a target region of a body cavity. An introducer device may include a tubular member having an inner wall that defines a channel configured to receive the endoluminal instrument and a plurality of projections disposed in the channel at perimetrically spaced apart locations around the inner wall, where the projections extend inward and are configured to offset the endoluminal instrument from the inner wall, thereby creating a space between the endoluminal instrument and the inner wall. A method for using an introducer device may include passing the endoluminal instrument to a first instrument insertion depth within the introducer device, advancing the introducer device in the body cavity, and advancing the endoluminal instrument to a second instrument insertion depth within the introducer device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2016Publication date: September 21, 2017Inventors: Gavin Michael MURRAY, Gregory Vincent BROWNE

Patent number: 8562615Abstract: An apparatus for introducing a bone portal into a bone is described herein. An example apparatus for introducing portals into bone includes a stylet and a handle. The stylet is configured to support an infusion tube assembly. The infusion tube assembly comprises a bone portal. The handle is drivingly coupled to the stylet by a release mechanism. The release mechanism comprises a bone probe that, in a first configuration, extends generally parallel to the stylet. The release mechanism is operative to uncouple the driving coupling between the handle and the stylet upon axial motion of the bone probe relative to the handle. The stylet and bone probe are movable apart from one another to a second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2013Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Pyng Medical Corp.Inventors: Gregory Vincent Browne, Werner Reinhard Simbeck, Christopher Grant Denny, David Brian Bonar, Terence Gilhuly

Patent number: 8480672Abstract: Some introducer tools for bone portals have a handle coupled to a driving member by a force-limiting coupling. A bone portal comprising a bone-penetrating portion and a bone stop may be driven to a desired depth in bone when the force-limiting coupling allows application of force to the bone portal that is sufficient to drive the bone-penetrating portion of the portal into the bone but not sufficient to drive the bone stop significantly into the bone. Bone portals of various types are described herein. Various configurations for stylets suitable for use in introducing bone portals or otherwise penetrating bone and methods for inserting bone portals are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Pyng Medical Corp.Inventors: Gregory Vincent Browne, Werner Reinhard Simbeck, Christopher Grant Denny, David Brian Bonar, Terence Gilhuly
