  • Patent number: 10842448
    Abstract: The devices and methods described herein refer to a guidewire, sometimes referred to as a K-wire, for use during varying orthopedic surgeries. The guidewire allows for the measurement of objects and distances inside the patient's body when used in tandem with x-ray or fluoroscopy imaging. Also, the devices and methods described herein act as a guide to accurately insert an instrument or implant, in the correct orientation, to the surgical site. The guidewire comprises a measurement segment that comprises one or more markers placed at known distances from the distal end of the guidewire. The markers, when used in tandem with fluoroscopy and/or x-ray imaging, provide users with a reference for measuring objects and distances inside the body. The markers can have many possible designs or configurations such as, but not limited to, visualization windows, grooves, notches, and/or material inserts.

  • Publication number: 20200129309
    Abstract: A method for delivering bone graft material includes removing a container housing a bone graft material from a cryopreservation environment, wherein the bone graft material includes cellular matrix. The container includes an elongate tubular body having a first opening on a first end and a second opening on the second end. The container includes a first cap covering the first opening and a second cap covering the second opening. The method includes placing the container within a bath, removing the container from the bath, removing the first cap and the second cap from the elongate tubular body, coupling the elongate tubular body to a body of a bone graft delivery device while the bone graft material is positioned within the elongate tubular body, and delivering bone graft material through the elongate tubular body to a surgical location using the bone graft delivery device.

  • Patent number: 9849059
    Abstract: The headache mitigating apparatus includes at least a transverse strap configured to wrap around a user's head in the manner of a hat band and at least one strap configured to extend under the user's occipital bone and rest along the user's upper neck as well as extending over the head strap at a forward end thereof. The apparatus can include bladders in the transverse and occipital straps, respectively. The bladders can be filled simultaneously or separately with a pneumatic hand pump such as those found on sphygmomanometers or may include an inflation apparatus which is operable via a push button, in a manner similar to that in which self-inflating items inflate. At least one strap may also accommodate a gel pack for heating or cooling. One or both straps may include buckles or hook and loop closures configured to be adjusted to secure the apparatus to the user's head.
