Patent number: 10935475Abstract: A biological fluids concentration device, including a tube-in-tube assembly, is disclosed. The tube-in-tube assembly receives biologic fluids and may then be placed in the bucket of a centrifuge and spun to separate out the components of the biological fluid by their various densities. For example, whole blood may be centrifuged in the tube-in-tube assembly for separating into plasma, red blood cell component, and a buffy coat. A piston slideably and sealingly engages an inner tube of the tube-in-tube assembly, the inner tube fitting within an outer tube. A lid is designed to engage the top of the outer tube, which lid has an opening therein for receipt of a plunger. The plunger is adapted to move up and down with respect to the lid and the tubes, so as to sealingly, in a down position, and unsealingly, in an open position, engage the top of the inner tube of the tube-in-tube assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: ALLIANCE PARTNERS, LLCInventors: Emad Hassouneh, Logan White, Matt Schmidt, Andrew Enke, Frank Morris

Patent number: 9168076Abstract: A system for orthopedic repair of bones, the system may include a compression screw. The screw may include a blunt tip on one end with tapped threads to allow for greater bone fixation uniform across a threaded portion of the screw. The screw may also include springs, which may be Belleville washers, which provide appropriate compression and tension and prevent excessive loosening of the screw after surgery. The springs allow the screw to retract without losing pressure on the fracture site. The system may be minimally invasive for multiple fractures on a single bone such as calcaneal fractures, and stabilizing long bone fractures without bone plates.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: BRIDGING MEDICAL, LLCInventors: Robert Michael Patty, Cameron Field, Andrew Enke, Daniel Robert Patty

Publication number: 20150094774Abstract: A bone plate assembly for stabilizing adjacent bones, the bone plate assembly having screw bores therein. The screws are dimensioned to sit within the screw bore and a resilient āSā shaped arm is engaged to the plate and partially covers the screw bore until contacted by the head of the screw. Contact with the head of the screw while the screw is being advanced into the bone pushes the resilient arm away from the head and, when the screw is seated in the screw bore, the resilient arm springs back to at least partially block the top of the screw head. In this manner, the screw is prevented form backing out of the plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Karl W. Swann, Frank Morris, Andrew Enke
