Patent number: 12201749Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a non-woven hybrid-scale fiber matrix sheet which can be used to improve wound healing. The non-woven hybrid-scale fiber matrix sheet may be both microporous, due to the hybrid-scale fiber matrix, as well as macroporous through the addition of cuts or perforations in the hybrid-scale fiber matrix sheet. The micro and macroporous sheet can improve biological healing at a wound site.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Acera Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R. MacEwan, Lily Jeng, Abdolrasol Rahimi, Manisha Jassal, Tamas Kovacs

Patent number: 11622777Abstract: A cartilage repair technique employs a cutter-tissue trap combination device to harvest cartilage tissue from a low-weight-bearing site of a subject. Cut tissue is aspirated though a lumen of a tissue cutter. The lumen includes an outer shaft having a first distal window and an inner shaft having a second distal window. Edges of the first distal window and the second distal window cooperate to provide a cutting action there-between upon rotation of the inner shaft within the outer shaft. A tissue trap coupled to the tissue cutter is configured to collect tissue shavings of a desired size to efficiently deliver the collected shavings to a repair site during surgery. The tissue trap includes a filter in a housing configured between a removable inflow chamber and a removable outflow chamber.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.Inventor: Lily Jeng

Patent number: 10973534Abstract: A cartilage repair technique employs a cutter-tissue trap combination device to harvest cartilage tissue from a low-weight-bearing site of a subject. Cut tissue is aspirated though a lumen (1101) of a tissue cutter (1100). The lumen includes an outer shaft (1106) having a first distal window and an inner shaft having a second distal window. Edges of the first distal window and the second distal window cooperate to provide a cutting action there-between upon rotation of the inner shaft within the outer shaft. A tissue trap (1400) coupled to the tissue cutter is configured to collect tissue shavings of a desired size to efficiently deliver the collected shavings to a repair site during surgery. The tissue trap includes a filter (1502) in a housing configured between a removable inflow chamber (1404) and a removable outflow chamber (1406).Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventor: Lily Jeng

Patent number: 10398416Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and kits are provided for accessing and treating bone marrow lesions in intraosseous spaces of bones by reversibly coupling a drill, including a surgical power drill, to a stylet reversibly inserted within and coupled with a cannula to provide for concurrent or synchronized rotation of the stylet and the cannula when drilling into a bone. Also provided are devices, systems, methods, and kits for their use for uncoupling a stylet from a cannula once the cannula is in a desired position in a bone, removal of the stylet to provide an open lumen to the desired location in the bone, and reversible attachment of an access device to the proximal end of the cannula to deliver and/or withdraw a substance (such as bone graft substitute) from the accessed lesion.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Frederick L. Fagundes, Lily Jeng
