  • Patent number: 11950816
    Abstract: A bone fixation clamp includes first and second clamp members, a stud, and a locking nut. The first member extends along a curve corresponding to an outer surface of a first portion of bone and includes an opening extending therethrough along an axis extending adjacent to the bone. The second member extends along a curve corresponding to an outer surface of a second portion of bone. The stud is receivable within the opening of the first member.

  • Patent number: 11937825
    Abstract: Various systems and methods of delivering an implant to a target location of a body vessel are disclosed. A detachment system can include a tubular body including a lumen extending therethrough and a distal tube on a distal end of the tubular body. A loop wire can be affixed at a first end to the tubular body and can include a loop opening positioned approximate a distal end of the distal tube. A pull wire can extend through the lumen. A hook wire can extend radially through a sidewall of the distal tube and into the lumen.

  • Patent number: 11911259
    Abstract: A tubular, folding flow diverter is provided. The flow diverter includes a plurality of sections, including a first section, a second section, and a third section. The flow diverter is shapeable to an elongated cylindrical shape and is movable to an implanted configuration. In the implanted configuration, the second section and at least a portion of the first and third sections overlap to form a three-layer shape. This three-layer shape can be positioned proximate an aneurysm neck when implanted in a patient. The overall porosity of the implant can be higher than legacy implants, because the overlapping portion of the three sections can decrease the porosity proximate the aneurysm neck.
