  • Correction guide for femoral neck
    Patent number: 11980406
    Abstract: A device for correcting a placement of a guide wire in a bone includes a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end; a central channel extending through the body from the proximal end to the distal end along a central axis, the central channel sized and shaped to receive a guide wire slidably therein; and a first correction channel extending through the body from the proximal end to the distal end. The first correction channel is sized and shaped to receive a guide wire therein at an angle relative to the central axis of the central axis of the central channel.

  • Insertion tool for flip anchor cable system insertion
    Patent number: 11058470
    Abstract: An insertion tool for deploying a flip anchor cable, including: a mechanism having a safety button and a slider, wherein the mechanism is configured to apply a clamping force on a portion of the flip anchor cable when the mechanism is in a first position; an inner tube having a proximal end connected to the mechanism configured to house a second portion of the flip anchor cable; a handle including a safety button opening and a slider opening, wherein the handle is configured to enclose a portion of the mechanism; and an outer tube having a proximal end connected to the handle configured to receive the inner tube; wherein the mechanism is configured to decrease the clamping force on the flip anchor cable when the mechanism is in a second position and to deploy a flip anchor of the flip anchor cable in the second position.
