Publication number: 20230110647Abstract: A multi-modulus probe design and assembly are disclosed. In one implementation, the system may include a stiffening element extending along at least a portion of a length of a lumen containing electrical wires for electrodes used in an Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy (EHL) probe. The stiffening element may be contained within the lumen of the probe or may extend along an outside of the probe. The stiffening element may be an assembly of wires of different modulus of elasticity that are joined together with a non-conductive sheath such that a greater stiffness is provided at a proximal end, and a lesser stiffness is provided at a distal end near a tip of the probe.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Applicant: Northgate Technologies Inc.Inventors: Alexander Carlo Buscaglia, Christian Lupercio, Alexander Travis Brown

Patent number: 11382674Abstract: The present application relates to repair systems, and more particularly to fifth metatarsal repair systems and methods of use. The repair systems described herein can include a fixation device with a threaded section. The repair systems described herein can include one or more grippers designed to be deflected outward to grip the sidewalls of an intramedullary canal of the fifth metatarsal. The repair systems described herein can include an end cap. The end cap can include a fastener including thread designed to engage the threaded section of the fixation device. The end cap can include a cap designed to move relative to the fastener.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Arthrex, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Riddle McDaniel, Alexander Carlo Buscaglia, Kyle Edward Lappin, Samuel Bruce Adams, Jr., Brian John Burgess, David N.

Patent number: 10548648Abstract: An intramedullary bone fixation device is provided with an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and an actuator to deploy at least one gripper to engage an inner surface of the intramedullary space to anchor the fixation device to the bone. Methods of repairing a fracture of a bone are also disclosed. One such method comprises inserting a fixation device into an intramedullary space of the bone to place at least a portion of the fixation device on one side of the fracture, providing rigidity across the fracture, and operating an actuator to deploy at least one gripper to engage an inner surface of the intramedullary space to anchor the fixation device to the bone. Various configurations allow a segmented device body to lock in the intramedullary space before and/or after fixation of the bone.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: ARTHREX, INC.Inventors: Alexander Carlo Buscaglia, Brian Bradford Carpenter, Kyle Edward Lappin, Stephen Riddle McDaniel, Selene Gunvant Parekh, Terrence Michael Philbin, Robert Dean Tonks, Daryll Leonard Charles Fletcher
