Abstract: Surgical anchor constructs, fixation devices, and methods of manufacturing, as well as methods for tissue repairs are disclosed. A soft suture anchor has a sheath with varying densities along the length of the sheath. The anchor sheath can have different segments with different densities which can be provided in a pattern or a random manner. The segments with different densities allow secure fixation of the soft anchor within bone, and attachment of first tissue to second tissue.

Abstract: A pump cassette includes a cassette housing defining an input aperture configured to receive a surgical solution and an output aperture configured to expel the surgical solution. A flow path is defined between the input aperture and the output aperture and includes a sensor segment having a sensor segment input opening, a sensor segment output opening, and a pressure module configured to react to changes in pressure. A sensor segment wall defines a portion of the flow path between the sensor segment input opening and the sensor segment output opening. The sensor segment wall includes a first sensor segment wall portion located between the sensor segment input opening and the sensor segment output opening and a second sensor wall portion extending transversely from the first sensor segment wall portion to a sensor segment wall terminal end.

Abstract: Surgical constructs, assemblies, kits and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. A suture tensioning anchor inserter is provided with a tensioning attachment that allows tensioning of suture directly on the inserter. The tensioning attachment may include a pair of paddles that can twist in one direction to add tension to the sutures in a repair. The paddles eliminate suture tensioning by hand, providing a mechanical advantage to add additional suture tension.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to surgical systems, devices and methods for planning and implementing surgical procedures, including repair of fractures. The systems and methods disclosed herein may be utilized to establish physical models of anatomy.

Abstract: A surgical tensioner and methods for surgical repairs. A tensioning adapter can be removably attached to, and detached from, a handle and/or elongated shaft of a surgical instrument to allow a flexible strand (suture or wire) attached to tissue (for example, soft tissue, graft or bone segments) to be secured to it and tensioned. A tensioning adapter can include a securing mechanism that can capture a flexible strand and lock it into place. A tensioning adapter can include an adjustment device to adjust tension on the flexible strand.

Abstract: A surgical construct includes a loop configured to be anchored in a bone tunnel, a tail extending from the loop and configured to pull the loop into the bone tunnel, and a repair strand having a section received in the loop. The repair strand extends from the loop in a direction away from the tail and has a free end configured to engage a tissue. A method of tissue repair using the surgical construct involves pulling the loop into the bone tunnel with the tail, bunching the loop to anchor it in the bone tunnel, and engaging a tissue with the repair strand.

Abstract: A suture device comprises at least one weft strand interwoven with a plurality of warp strands to define a body region. The body region has a substantially open mesh construction and at least a first elongate end region axially extending from and being one part with the body region having a substantially closed mesh construction. The width of the end region is substantially less than a width of the body region.

Abstract: An actuator for a surgical apparatus includes an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis and an actuation structure. The actuation structure is operably coupled to the body and extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The actuation structure is configured to sequentially translate proximally and distally along the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Methods for tissue repairs with mattress stitch are disclosed. A mattress stitch is created with a suture passer and a suturing construct using only one portal and without shuttling steps. The suture passer is provided with two sharp teeth or tines that pierce tissue (or tissue and associated graft) at two different locations. The suturing construct can be a loop terminating in a tail. The tail is passed from one tooth to another and then secured into a securing mechanism of one of the two sharp teeth. The tail is passed through the loop to form a cinch loop around and through the tissue (or the tissue and the graft).

Abstract: An anatomic simulacra includes at least one reinforced hole defined through the anatomic simulacra. The at least one reinforced hole includes a bore and a reinforcement area proximate the bore. A kit for performing a surgical training procedure includes the anatomic simulacra.

Abstract: A 3D printed anatomic simulacra includes an inner structure, an exterior shell surrounding the inner structure and the core, at least one fragmented exterior shell piece adjacent to the exterior shell, a removable matrix extending between the inner structure and the core, and support structures embedded within the removable matrix, the plurality of support structures extending throughout the inner structure. The removable matrix is configured to be removed from the 3D printed anatomic simulacra before a simulated medical procedure. Another 3D printed anatomic simulacra includes a flexible connective tissue connecting at least two components, the flexible connective tissue defining voids, wherein the plurality of voids are configured to sequentially tear under an applied load, thereby simulating a predefined tear classification. Another anatomic simulacra includes pretensioned fibral elements embedded within a matrix.
