  • Patent number: 11832860
    Abstract: A method and system for promoting the union of a bone fracture and/or fusion of bones across a joint space at a target region of a subject which may be accomplished by: inserting a surgical implant device at the target region; providing a guide member in the surgical implant device bore; sealing the surgical implant device bore distal opening and/or the surgical implant device bore proximal opening with the guide member; and positioning the guide member relative to the surgical implant device to provide for the guide member to be partially absent from the surgical implant device bore to allow the biomaterial and/or biologically active agents to extrude or diffuse from the activated apertures to the target region of the subject.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 21, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2023

  • Patent number: 6607495
    Abstract: The fluid transport apparatus and related method for withdrawing fluid from, or infusing fluid to, a target. The apparatus has a fluid collection chamber that has attached thereto cutting devices. The cutting devices are used to make incisions through the wall or skin of the body or target by inserting the cutting device or devices through the wall of the body for automatically removing blood or other tissue fluids from the skin or other tissues. In the operating mode, the motion of the actuator from the rest position to a displaced position generates a negative pressure in the fluid collection chamber that draws blood or fluid from the target into the collection chamber.
