Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a first member defining an axis and having a scraping surface configured to scrape tissue. A second member includes a cutting surface that is rotatable relative to the first member. The second member has a maximum length defined by opposite end surfaces of the second member. The end surfaces are each disposed within the first member. A third member includes an outer surface defining at least a portion of a passageway configured for disposal of the scraped tissue. The third member is fixed with the first member. The cutting surface is rotatable relative to the third member to transfer the scraped tissue along the axis. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A surgical implant and a method for the making the surgical implant is provided. The surgical implant includes various granules incorporated into an upper surface and a lower surface of a body portion thereof. The granules can be pressed into the upper surface and the lower surface via physical force using at least one mold portion. The physical force applied by the at least one mold portion can deform and/or extrude the upper surface and the lower surface to impregnate these surfaces with the granules. The granules can provide the implant with bioresorbable and/or mechanically-reinforced properties.

Abstract: A surgical implant includes a body portion, a first tier, and a second tier. The first tier is attached to an upper surface of the body portion, and the second tier is attached to a lower surface of the body portion. Each of the upper surface and the lower surface of the body portion includes channels formed therein. The first tier includes a first layer including a plurality of first slats and a second layer including a plurality of second slats, where the plurality of first slats and the plurality of second slats intersect one another to form openings therebetween. The second tier includes a third layer including a plurality of third slats and a fourth layer including a plurality of fourth slats, where the plurality of third slats and the plurality of fourth slats intersect one another to form openings therebetween.

Abstract: A patient support structure for supporting a patient in a supine position for surgery and a method for use of the patient support structure is provided.
