Patent number: 10448963Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for repairing soft tissue. The surgical system allows for the creation of tissue repair by grasping, aligning and sewing or fixing tissue. For example, this system may be used for clipping together excessive capsular tissue and reducing the overall capsular volume. The deployment device includes a central grasping mechanism and an outer clip delivery system. The clip embodiments may be single or multi-component (penetration and locking base components) that penetrate tissue layers and deploy or lock to clip the tissue together. An example of the system is used to reduce the joint capsule tissue laxity and reduces the potential for subluxation or dislocation of the joint by either restricting inferior laxity (anterior or posterior) and resolving or eliminating pathologic anterior or posterior translation.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Bay Innovation Group, LLCInventors: Heber Crockett, John Wright, James G. Whayne, Kevin L. Ohashi, Sidney D. Fleischman

Patent number: 8435294Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for fixation of tendon to bone are described. An exemplary surgical implant is a modified bone anchor that is able to grasp the tendon and hold it firmly in a bone tunnel. Once deployed, the anchor delivers lateral compression to the tendon, providing direct tendon to bone compression to facilitate healing. The anchor has different versions which allow it to be attached to the tendon prior to insertion into the bone tunnel, or be inserted between tendon arms when the surgical procedure dictates. The resulting tendon to bone compression allows for the firm fixation in a manner markedly simpler than traditional techniques. A modification of this anchor can also allow the anchor to grasp and hold suture. This variation facilitates the technique for knotless rotator cuff repair.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2009Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Cayenne Medical, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth D. Montgomery, Sidney D. Fleischman, James G. Whayne, Kevin L. Ohashi, Nicanor Domingo, John Wright, Derek J. Harper, Heber Crockett
