Publication number: 20230000582Abstract: Single use medical devices that incorporate one or more destruct elements configured to deform during an autoclave cycle, rendering the device visually damaged or unusable. The use of such destruct elements prevents reuse (knowingly or unwittingly) of single use devices on patients after off-label autoclaving.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: Aaron M Bailey, Dana M Wilcox

Patent number: 9149287Abstract: The present disclosure provides a femoral cut guide for preparing a distal femur to receive a prosthetic femoral component of a knee implant. The prosthetic femoral component includes a central box. The femoral cut guide replicates the size and shape of the prosthetic femoral component, such that the femoral cut guide may serve as a trial or provisional component used to reduce and test the prepared knee joint before implanting the final prosthetic femoral component. The femoral cut guide includes a detachable box cut guide for preparing the distal femur to receive the central box of the prosthetic femoral component.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventors: Aaron M Bailey, Kevin S. Cook, Christopher M. Byrd, Prashanth Hegde

Patent number: 8911444Abstract: A surgical instrument and method are provided for guiding a cutting tool to resect an anatomical structure. The surgical instrument includes a guide body formed of a guide body material having a guide body material hardness, and a first bearing and a second bearing formed of a bearing material having a bearing material hardness. The bearing material hardness is greater than the guide body material hardness. The first bearing and the second bearing are secured to the guide body with at least a portion of the first bearing and at least a portion of the second bearing exposed from the guide body. Also, the second bearing is spaced a distance from the first bearing. By arranging the first bearing and the second bearing in this manner, the first bearing and the second bearing provide a discontinuous bearing surface for a cutting tool to contact when moving within the guide body.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventor: Aaron M. Bailey
