Abstract: A flexible portal cannula for use in arthroscopic surgery. Distally positioned flaps extend radially outwardly from the outer surface of the cannula and are resiliently foldable to lie against the outer surface of the cannula during insertion into a surgical portal, and resiliently biased to return to the radially outwardly extending position when unconstrained. Slots disposed around the perimeter of the flaps for anchoring and sorting sutures.

Abstract: A flexible portal cannula for use in arthroscopic surgery. Distally positioned flaps extend radially outwardly from the outer surface of the cannula and are resiliently foldable to lie against the outer surface of the cannula during insertion into a surgical portal, and resiliently biased to return to the radially outwardly extending position when unconstrained. A clip disposed on the cannula outer surface outside of an arthroscopic workspace acts to clamp tissue disposed between the clip and the flaps. The clip has an extension to receive pairs of slots to sort and engage the sutures.

Abstract: A method of performing a gas arthroscopy by injecting a joint capsule with sealant prior to insufflation with gas. This sealant can be any biocompatible gel or liquid with sufficient viscosity or sealing capability to prevent air embolisms while performing gas arthroscopy.

Abstract: The devices and methods shown provide for the minimization of extravasation during arthroscopic surgery. The extravasation minimization device allows a surgeon to drain excess fluids from the soft tissue surrounding the surgical field while also providing a stable surgical portal for arthroscopic surgical instruments.

Abstract: A flexible cannula device and delivery system for use in arthroscopic surgery. The delivery system engages the flexible cannula from the inside near the distal tip and pushes it into the surgical portal, essentially pulling the proximal portion of the cannula from the distal tip while being pushed from the proximal end with the specialized driver. The delivery system provides for single point engagement at the distal tip as well as a multiplicity of engagement points along the length of the system.

Abstract: The devices, systems and methods herein provide for anchoring of surgical constructs to body tissue. These systems may be used for both biologic implant securement in arthroscopy as well as other sheet and scaffold repair procedures. The system may be used for any soft tissue repair procedure where a synthetic or biologic patch is used, such as joint repair or hernia repair.

Abstract: A cannula with a removable and replaceable fluid seal system for use during arthroscopic surgery.

Abstract: A reinforced arthroscope comprising external ribs to provide for a number of separate fluid channels, such as inflow, outflow and interstitial tissue drainage, when the arthroscope is slipped into a disposable external sheath. The arthroscope is constructed to be sufficiently rigid so as to penetrate and move within a joint without damaging the rod optics inside. The externality of the arthroscope channels allow for cleaning and sterilizing the scope between uses. Check valves are operably coupled to the inner surface of the external sheath within the fluid channels.
