  • Publication number: 20170056075
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an innovative pedicle probe that uses a force-sensing electromechanical system coupled with haptic and visual feedback. The probe of the present invention reduces the rate of pedicle screw breaches during spinal fusion surgery. The probe provides an effective guidance system to aid surgeons in detecting and preventing cortical bone breaches, thereby minimizing risk of intraoperative injury to the patient. Moreover, the probe invention decreases surgeon reliance on intraoperative radiation, reducing harmful exposure to both patients and surgeons.

  • Publication number: 20130304096
    Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device and method for suturing the fascia or other tissue in a patient. The device includes a first arm and a second arm pivotally coupled to one another and housing a spring-based lever system that is configured to frictionally hold a portion of a needle within each of the first and second arms. A switch allows the spring-based lever system to be used to pass the needle between the first and second arms. When the switch is in a first position, the needle is frictionally held by the spring-based lever system within the first arm and released within the second arm. Likewise, when the switch is in a second position, the needle is frictionally held by the spring-based lever system within the second arm and released within the first arm.
