  • Patent number: 9271725
    Abstract: A surgical fastener system includes a plurality of fasteners having a throughbore with a non-circular cross section portion. The fasteners may engage with a splined mandrel that passes through the throughbore of the fasteners and rotates the fasteners relative to the mandrel to move at least one of the fasteners along the mandrel, e.g., along the mandrel's longitudinal axis. A distal end of the mandrel may be inserted into a material, such as a tissue, prosthetic or other, and a fastener may be deployed from the distal end of the mandrel while the distal end is positioned in the material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8979874
    Abstract: A surgical fastener system includes a plurality of fasteners having a throughbore with an internally threaded portion. The fasteners may engage with a threaded mandrel that passes through the throughbore of the fasteners. A rotator may rotate the fasteners relative to the mandrel to move at least one of the fasteners along the mandrel, e.g., along the mandrel's longitudinal axis. A distal end of the mandrel may be inserted into a material, such as a tissue, prosthetic or other, and a fastener may be deployed from the distal end of the mandrel while the distal end is positioned in the material. The throughbore of the fasteners may include a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion, may include an angled face or other feature to aid in fastener deployment and/or have curved depressions in the head portion.

  • Publication number: 20100306034
    Abstract: The present invention provides various capabilities of facilitating projected transactions by managing accounts, projections, and incentives. Features of the various embodiments of the present invention include multiple access options, comprising web mediated interactions and provisionings of compilations of projections and incentives in conjunction with transaction venues, among others. Other features include identifying of incentives related to account associated projections, appraising and comptrolling of incentive benefits, and assessing of projections, incentives, and their various realization statuses. Provisionings of projections and/or incentives will be often venue focused, with substantial degrees of projection and/or incentive compilation customization, modification, and/or provisionings available when accessing an interaction facility via multiple modes.
