Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to temporary antimicrobial-eluting cement spacer implants, and assemblies, kits, and methods for forming the same. Particularly preferred disclosures are to modular spacers, assemblies, and kits, as well as methods of manufacturing the same, where the modular nature of the spacer permits the selection of specific desired length spacers, as well as specific selection of antimicrobial compounds and dosages, along with the components and processes for forming the same.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an organogel drug depot for use in delivering an active agent to a surgical site, such as an implant site, for instance an orthopedic implant site. The present disclosure is also directed to an organogel drug depot for use in a non-sterile environment and application to a non-sterile open wound site. In a further embodiment, there is disclosed a system for preparing an organogel drug depot including an organogel matrix comprising an organogelator and a biocompatible organic solvent, an active agent comprising solid particles, a container including at least one wall having an outer surface and defining a volume capable of containing the organogel matrix and active agent solid particles, and a heating component configured to contact the outer surface and supply an amount of heat to the container.

Abstract: Methods and devices are shown for forming polymer fasteners into bone by expelling the polymer from a cannula. Devices and methods shown allow a user to form multiple fasteners of various sizes without re-loading a device. Devices and methods shown further provide temperature profiles during fastener formation that reduce or eliminate thermal necrosis. Devices and methods shown further provide fasteners with increased strength.
