Abstract: An apparatus and method provide for the delivery of an ablation treatment by supplying a control signal to supply electrode of an ablation device disposed at the distal end portion of an elongated shaft. A lumen extends along a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The supply electrode forms an electrode face laterally directed from the longitudinal axis and through which an aperture extends in connection with the lumen. The electrode face forms an ovular shape having a first major axis that extends parallel to the longitudinal axis. An insulator separates the supply electrode from a return electrode, and a transition passage of the lumen extends though the insulator along an arc-shaped path.

The guide aperture is configured to selectively align a tool or fastener with a plurality of trajectories through the at least one fastener aperture.

Abstract: A surgical tool having an inner drive hub coupled to an inner shaft, the inner drive hub having a boss; an outer hub coupled to a hollow outer shaft, the outer drive hub having at least one hole; and a seal having a body and at least one tab; wherein the inner drive hub and the inner shaft are configured for insertion inside the outer hub and the hollow outer shaft such that the boss is positioned distally to the at least one hole; and the seal body is positioned outside of the outer hub and the at least one tab extends through the at least one hole and proximally to the boss to removably couple the inner drive hub and the inner shaft to the outer hub and the hollow outer shaft.

Abstract: An endoscopic camera system having an optical assembly; a first color image sensor transmitting a first low dynamic range image; a second color image sensor transmitting a second low dynamic range image; a monochrome image sensor transmitting a monochrome image; an HDR processor coupled to the first color image sensor and the second color image sensor for receiving the first low dynamic range image and the second low dynamic range image, the HDR processor being configured to combine the first low dynamic range image and the second dynamic range image into a high dynamic range image; and a combiner coupled to the HDR processor and the monochrome image sensor, the combiner being configured to combine the high dynamic range image with the monochrome image.

Abstract: An adapter apparatus for a cable saw or similar cutting implement includes a hub adapter that may detachably engage a mounting hub of a power tool. A pair of lateral arms extend outward on opposing sides of the hub adapter to a connection interface of the cable saw. The connection interface engages opposing wire ends of the cable saw and provides for a cutting operation in response to an oscillating motion of the power tool.

Abstract: This disclosure details a surgical system and method, which is permits percutaneous insertion of anchors, and is useful in orthopedic surgical procedures involving fixation of soft tissue to bone. Because the anchors may be inserted percutaneously, the anchors can be inserted into bone without requiring a skin incision and without requiring a pre-drilled bone hole. As such, use of the disclosed system and method leads to a reduction in the number of steps in a surgical procedure, which reduces surgery time, while also reducing the size of openings formed in the skin relative to other known techniques, which reduces recovery times and results in smaller and less noticeable scarring.

Abstract: A suture anchor for knotless fixation of tissue. The suture anchor includes an implant configured to hold a suture to be anchored in bone without requiring suture knots. The suture is secured in bone by inserting the implant holding the suture into a hole in the bone, and advancing a fixation device, such as a cannulated interference screw, over a shaft at the proximal end of the implant.

Abstract: Surgical reduction tool assemblies may be used for achieving compression between bone fragments or across joints when performing arthrodesis procedures, bone fracture procedures, etc. The reduction tool assemblies may be used to reduce a gap between bone fragments or between bones of a joint prior to attempting to achieve final compression with a bone plate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs employing tensionable knotless anchors, without knot tying. The tensionable knotless anchors may be used by themselves or in combination with additional constructs (which may have a similar or different configuration, i.e., modified according to the specific repair) to achieve novel remplissage and soft tissue repairs.

Abstract: Surgical repair systems and techniques for plantar plate repairs. The surgical repair systems and methods reconstruct the plantar plate through a dorsal incision. The surgical repair system embodies a variety of instruments that provide visualization and access to the plantar plate using suture to complete the repair. The repair system may include some or all of the following instruments: a metatarsal head pusher employed in open surgical space, to move the “capital fragment” in a controlled manner; a suture retriever instrument and a suture retriever funnel (sleeve); a suture passer such as a Mini Scorpion DX and accompanying needle, or a variety of shaped Micro Suture Lassos; a measuring guide; and a small joint distractor.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to suture-implant constructs, surgical devices configured to deliver suture-implant constructs, and methods of repairing damaged tissue.

Abstract: A support system is disclosed to prepare harvested soft tissue for grafting. Methods of graft preparation are also disclosed.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to orthopaedic implant systems and methods for repairing bone defects and restoring functionality to a joint. The implant systems and methods disclosed herein may include augments extending from respective baseplates. The augments may have an internal network for communicating material in the respective implant.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to surgical fixation devices (e.g., staples, screws, etc.) which are able to bring bone fragments into close proximity with each other, generate a compressive load, and maintain that compressive load for a prolonged period of time while healing occurs. The surgical fixations devices are manufactured from a shape memory material (e.g., a material capable of exhibiting superelasticity and/or a temperature-induced shape change).

Abstract: A triple syringe system that allows for a larger combined output of PRP (platelet rich plasma) and PPP (platelet poor plasma). The multi-syringe system allows for the connection of two or more additional syringes. The fractions may be extracted with the multi-syringe system of the present invention at different sequential times, or at the same time.

Abstract: Surgical anchor assemblies and method of tissue repair using the same. The surgical anchor assemblies have a cannulated fixation device, an implant configured to be coupled to the fixation device, and a stop mechanism for preventing relative movement between the fixation device and the implant, such that the fixation device and the implant are configured to rotate together, and a flexible strand winds up to reduce any slack in the flexible strand used for the repair.
