Publication number: 20140207199Abstract: A bone plate assembly including at least one bone plate, polyaxially adjustable fixation elements and a polyaxially adjustable locking mechanism. A first plate includes at least one polyaxial element for lockable connection with a fixation pad, and a connection feature which allows the plate to translate and polyaxially rotate relative to the locking mechanism. A second plate includes at least one polyaxial element for connection with a fixation pad and a connection feature for non-rotatable connection with the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism allows translation and polyaxial adjustment of the first plate relative to the second plate and locks the first and second plates via a taper lock. The fixation pad includes a deflectable spacer configured to prevent premature locking of the pad. Methods for implantation of the bone plate assembly between bone structures are disclosed. Instrumentation for implantation, compression and locking of the bone plate assembly is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: OsteoMed LLCInventors: Charles R. Gordon, Marc C. Yap, Daniel J. Triplett, Darin Ewer, Nathan Nelson, Andrew R. Fauth, Mary Sinnott

Publication number: 20090157049Abstract: A catheter assembly for infusion or aspiration of an internal body site includes a catheter comprised of a tubular sidewall extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end, the sidewall bounding a lumen. At least one port is formed on the catheter so as to communicate with the lumen. At least one filament extends outwardly from the first catheter. The filament is configured to form a fluid pathway within a body of a patient for fluid entering or exiting the at least one port of the catheter when the catheter is implanted within the body of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2009Publication date: June 18, 2009Applicant: LMA NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Raymond E.

Patent number: 6796977Abstract: A graft preparation board that enables an exact tensioning of soft tissue grafts. The graft preparation board allows the amount of tensile load to be easily determined so that the operator can precisely control the amount of tension to be applied. The graft preparation board also enables higher tensions to be placed on graft tissues to be used in surgery.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: DePuy Mitek, Inc.Inventors: Marc C. Yap, Daniel F. Justin, David A. McGuire
