  • Publication number: 20240074745
    Abstract: Knotless surgical constructs and methods of tissue repairs. A surgical construct can offer both repair and shuttling capabilities to allow for a single pass to load multiple sutures at once. A surgical construct can pass or shuttle multiple repair sutures while making a single pass through or around soft tissue.

  • Publication number: 20230346365
    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.

  • Patent number: 11471146
    Abstract: A surgical tensioner and methods for surgical repairs. A tensioner can tension a flexible strand (suture or wire) attached to tissue (for example, graft or bone segments). A tensioner can include an angled tip with a split hole to past-point on a knot and lock the construct during tensioning. A tensioner can include a securing mechanism that can capture a flexible strand and lock it into place.

  • Publication number: 20220175514
    Abstract: Tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical construct includes two self-locking, tensionable, knotless independent mechanisms loaded onto a fixation device, one of the two self-locking, tensionable, knotless, independent mechanisms including a preformed, flexible, continuous, uninterrupted loop. The fixation device can be a knotless fixation device such as a hard-body anchor, or a knotless soft anchor such as an all-suture knotless anchor.

  • Patent number: 10335136
    Abstract: Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs, without knot tying. Soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with a fixation device, a flexible strand with multiple flexible limbs, and a shuttle/pull device attached to the flexible strand to shuttle the multiple flexible limbs through the flexible strand and form a locking splice.

  • Publication number: 20190175170
    Abstract: Surgical suturing constructs and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. The suturing construct is a suture of a small diameter that is provided with a small loop on one end, a splice, and an elongated tapered portion/region at the other end. The splice is located on a region provided with a plurality of laser cuts or protuberances that are locking into the loop when the tapered end is pulled through the loop, to allow the suture to create a cinch stitch around soft tissue.
