Patent number: 11083445Abstract: A gastrocnemius knife and retractor system and kit includes a surgical knife and a soft tissue retractor. The soft tissue retractor is configurable to move from a collapsed mode to an expanded mode and back again, and can be inserted through a small incision when in the collapsed mode. Once inside the incision, the soft tissue retractor is expanded to permit visualization and accessibility of the surgery site. The surgical knife is then introduced and guided along a path in the frame of the soft tissue retractor, thereby incising the desired tissue. Once the tissue is incised, the surgical knife is withdrawn, followed by the soft tissue retractor after it is collapsed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Nextremity Solutions, Inc.Inventors: John Early, Gregory Pomeroy, Adam Finley, Ryan Schlotterback

Patent number: 10182854Abstract: Implant devices for the internal fixation of fractured bones, and more particularly to ankle plates for the tibia bone are disclosed and include an anterolateral tibia plate having an L-shaped body including a proximal portion defining a longitudinal axis, and a distal portion defining a traverse axis, and having a support bridge connected between the proximal portion and the distal portion. Implant devices disclosed also include an anterior tibia plate having an elongated first portion, a second portion that widens outward with respect to the elongated first portion, and a plurality of removable tabs attached to the outer edge of the second portion. Implant devices disclosed also include a medial tibia plate having an elongated shaft with a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion is configured to extend proximate to a base of medial malleolus, and has a curvature with respect to a longitudinal axis defined by the elongated shaft. The distal portion may include a plurality of removable tabs.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: OsteoMed LLCInventors: John Early, Michael E. Brage, Gregory Pomeroy, Brian Carpenter, Douglas W. Miller
