Patent number: 12102545Abstract: An implant delivery device may include an implant holding portion proximate the distal end, the implant holding portion being configured to retain a sheet-like implant during implantation of the implant. In addition, the implant holding portion may be configured to receive the implant with a fixed implant supporting flange member configured to support the implant on one side, and a movable implant supporting flange member. The movable implant supporting flange member may be configured to be slidable between a distal position and a proximal position, wherein, in the distal position, the movable implant supporting flange member and secures the implant against the fixed implant supporting flange member, and in the proximal position, the movable implant supporting flange member is withdrawn from the distal end of the implant delivery device, thus enabling release of the implant.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2023Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Embody, Inc.Inventors: R. Sean Churchill, Robert J. Ball, Douglas Snell, Isaac Running, Christopher K. Jones, Brandon Bryant

Publication number: 20240033105Abstract: An implant delivery device may include a handle disposed at a proximal end of the implant delivery device and configured to be grasped by a user. The device may further include an outer shaft extending from the handle to a distal end of the implant delivery device. In addition, the implant delivery device may include an implant holding portion proximate the distal end of the implant delivery device, the implant holding portion being configured to retain a sheet-like implant during implantation of the implant. Further, the implant holding portion may be configured to receive the implant between a fixed implant supporting flange member and configured to support the implant on one side, and a movable implant supporting flange member. The fixed implant supporting flange member may include a pair of substantially triangular shaped wings extending from a centerline axis of the outer shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: R.

Patent number: 5899520Abstract: A sun shield is mounted on a bracket that is provided for support of a side-view mirror on a truck cab. The sun shield is mounted horizontally with respect to a ground surface and is located in a position to shield an area just inside the driver's window to protect the arm of the driver from the sun's rays. In the preferred embodiment, the sun shield is made of a high density polymer that is opaque to the sun's rays and is located in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1997Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Sun Shield Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Brandon Bryant
