Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system comprising a foam structure and a surgical fixation device for attaching the foam structure to bone, the foam structure comprising: a porous body made of at least one biocompatible implant material, wherein the porous body is coated with a coating, which is capable of stimulating bone ingrowth.

Abstract: An implant to fill a hole in tissue, such as bone tissue, comprising a first portion that is insertable through the hole when in a first compressed position, wherein the first portion cannot pass through the hole when in a first deployed position; and a second portion that cannot pass through the hole when in the second deployed position. The first and second portions of the implant can be deployed independently. Therefore, in operation, it is possible to insert the first portion of the implant through the hole when in the first compressed position, deploying the first portion to transition it to the first deployed position while the second portion remains in the second compressed position, and then deploying the second portion to transition it to the second deployed position. The devices and methods may be used, for example, in transsphenoidal or other orthopedic surgeries involving bone tissue.

Abstract: A cranial burr hole plate is provided, the burr hole plate comprising a plate body and a plurality of spikes extending from the plate body. The spikes are configured to engage cranial bone, wherein the burr hole plate is deformable to enable movement of the spikes from a burr hole disengaging configuration to a burr hole engaging configuration upon deformation of the burr hole plate. Also provided is a deformation instrument for moving the spikes of a cranial burr hole plate into the burr hole engaging configuration is provided. Moreover, a cranial burr hole plating system is provided that comprises the cranial burr hole plate and the deformation instrument.
