Patent number: 10517576Abstract: A bone marrow access apparatus includes a bone penetrating member having an internal channel having an opening at a proximal end and an opening at a distal end, and a valve cap engaged with the bone penetrating member. The valve cap defines an interior cavity in which part of the bone penetrating member is situated to thereby secure the valve cap to the bone penetrating member. The valve cap includes a valve having an opening having an open state in which the channel is not obstructed and a closed state preventing flow of material through the channel. By being repeatedly switchable between the open and closed states, the valve controls access to the channel by bone marrow sampling and biopsy instruments.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: APERTURE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Bob Rioux, Khoder Jaber

Patent number: 10448933Abstract: A bone marrow access system includes a bone marrow access apparatus, a delivery tool that installs the apparatus in connection with a bone, instruments used while the apparatus is installed, and a removal tool to remove the apparatus. The apparatus includes a bone penetrating member having an internal channel having openings at proximal and distal ends, and a valve cap engaged with the bone penetrating member. The valve cap includes a valve having an opening having an open state in which the channel is not obstructed and a closed state preventing flow of material through the channel. The delivery tool includes a flange at one end and a drill bit extending beyond the flange. The flange fits in a seat in the bone penetrating member such that when the delivery tool is rotated while the flange is in the seat, the bone penetrating member is rotated into the bone.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: APERTURE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Bob Rioux, Khoder Jaber

Patent number: 9770425Abstract: Bone marrow access apparatus includes a bone attachment part attachable to bone, a tubular conduit part attached to the bone attachment part and defining a conduit communicating with a hollow interior of the bone attachment part, and a port attached to the conduit part. The port defines a hollow interior communicating with the conduit defined by the conduit part. One or more optional flow control components are arranged in a passage defined by the interior of the bone attachment member, the conduit of the conduit part and the interior of the port and operatively restrict inflow or outflow. A localization part is on or integrated into the port and enables the port to be located through skin. In use, a sampling device is inserted through skin overlying the port, into and through the passage defined by the apparatus, through the flow control component(s), when present, and into the marrow space. Marrow is captured and then the sampling device is removed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: APERTURE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY LLCInventor: Stephen Solomon
