  • Patent number: 11426156
    Abstract: Suture delivered patches adapted for interposition, augmentation or repair devices for use in tendon and ligament repair, including rotator cuff repair, have been developed as well as methods for their delivery using suture guided arthroscopic methods. The repair patches may be provided from suitable biocompatible materials. The patches may be delivered using anchored sutures already in use during a surgical repair including, open, minimally invasive, endoscopic, and arthroscopic repair procedures. Additionally, fixation of the suture delivered repair patch is secured along with the normal suture securing workflow of the one or more sutures used to deliver the patch.

  • Publication number: 20210016087
    Abstract: The system is directed to improving muscle strength using electrostimulation therapy and/or occlusion according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, the system is configured to use electrodes placed outside the body and/or on the surface of the skin to activate pelvic floor muscles to control urine flow from the bladder. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more fluid bladders configured to reduce blood flow to a targeted area while applying electrostimulation using one or more electrodes. In some embodiments, the occlusion system results in higher muscle growth and/or retraining results than conventional methods.
