Publication number: 20120065641Abstract: A bone repair apparatus includes a partially polymerized biocompatible adhesive provided in a state wherein polymerization of the biocompatible adhesive is substantially suspended. A method for repairing a bone defect includes preparing the biocompatible adhesive, suspending polymerization of the biocompatible adhesive prior to full cure, delivering the biocompatible adhesive to the bone defect while polymerization is substantially suspended and accelerating polymerization of the biocompatible adhesive to achieve full cure. The method provides an implanted biocompatible adhesive with a malleable osteoconductive structure without compromising the physical characteristics of the biocompatible adhesive, thereby improving handling and delivery of the bone adhesive.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2010Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: Doctors Research Group, Inc.Inventors: Richard J.

Publication number: 20120046698Abstract: A pedicle fastener for implantation during a spinal fusion procedure includes a head and shank, the shank being connectable to the head and extending outwardly therefrom. The shank may include a shielding feature formed therein for accommodating an adhesive augmenting the pedicle fastener and improving implantation strength and stiffness thereof. A method for implanting the pedicle fastener includes forming a hole in a pedicle, applying the adhesive to the hole and sliding the shank of the pedicle fastener into the hole. The adhesive may also be applied to the hole through direct injection, injection through a longitudinal cannula formed in the pedicle fastener or by depositing the adhesive on the shank and inserting the shank into the hole. Polymerization of the adhesive may be accelerated by heating the pedicle fastener.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2010Publication date: February 23, 2012Applicant: Doctors Research Group, Inc.Inventors: Eric Kolb, Naresh Akkarapaka, John Boxberger, John Tomich

Publication number: 20110015743Abstract: A multi-density polymeric interbody spacer formed from biocompatible material for osteoconductivity includes multiple density regions of different porosity to provide both strength and osteoconductivity. An interface region is formed between the density regions to provide both direct adhesion and mechanical interlocking between the different density regions to increase the strength of the multi-density polymeric interbody spacer. A method for forming the multi-density polymeric interbody spacer includes curing a first density region to achieve a first target porosity. A second density region may then be molded to the first density region to achieve a second target porosity. A portion of the second density region partially flows into pores of the first density region, providing direct adhesion and mechanical interlocking between the first and second density regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: DOCTORS RESEARCH GROUP, INC.Inventors: Richard J. Deslauriers, Joseph Jannetty, Eric Kolb, John A. Tomich, Naresh Akkarapaka

Publication number: 20070298494Abstract: The present invention provides a family of peptides based upon the M2GlyR sequence. These peptides are derivatives of the M2GlyR sequence and can be modified at their ends to include a plurality of polar amino acid residues to enhance their solubility. Particularly preferred derivatives include portions of the M2GlyR sequence which are palindromic to another portion of the peptide or to the M2GlyR sequence itself. Preferably these portions are at least 7 amino acid residues in length. Peptides embraced by the present invention are characterized by having greater effects on the transepithelial electrical resistance of cells at lower concentrations. Peptides of the present invention have been shown to increase Isc in MDCK epithelial cell monolayers with half maximal effects observed at or below 30 ?M, a nearly 10-fold improvement over any peptide previously characterized in the M2GlyR family.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2004Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: John Tomich, Iwamoto Takeo, James Broughman, Bruce Schultz

Publication number: 20060274677Abstract: An apparatus for a service node used in a multimedia network. The apparatus has a data distributor circuit, and a decoder. The data distributor card has a data port for coupling with a data stream. The data distributor circuit has a relational code for determining whether an address field of a data packet of the data stream is intended for local distribution to peripheral devices by the distribution circuit. The decoder, in communication with the distribution circuit, has a virtual channel filter for filtering the address field to route the data packet to at least one data port, such as that associated with a peripheral device. An incorporator circuit is provided that is electrically-coupled to the data port to insert an address value having a relational code and a virtual channel code in a data input from the at least one data port. The incorporator then inserts the data input from the at leas tone data port into the data stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2006Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventors: John Tomich, Michael Vonahnen, Michael Sheehan
