  • Publication number: 20110213450
    Abstract: A medical device delivery system for remotely deploying a stent or similar medical device is disclosed. The medical device delivery system includes a delivery device having a handle engaged to an elongated barrel with a puller arrangement attached to an elongated outer catheter defining a distal end engaged to a catheter tip that collectively encapsulates the medical device. The handle includes a trigger actuator operatively engaged to a drive mechanism with a lead screw that drives the puller arrangement along the barrel. During deployment, the trigger actuator is actuated by the user, which activates the drive mechanism and rotates the lead screw for moving the puller arrangement to automatically deploy the medical device. In manual operation, the user disengages the lead screw from the puller arrangement and manually moves the puller arrangement toward the handle to manually deploy the medical device rather than actuate the trigger actuator.

  • Publication number: 20110172671
    Abstract: A orthopedic/spine bone mill comprising a vessel and a rotatable grinding tool to produce ground autologous and or allograft bone particles for surgical bone reconstruction use, wherein the vessel includes a wall defining a circular cylindrical chamber having a concentric axis. The vessel further includes generally concave or a cup shaped bottom wall which corresponds to the shape of the cutting blade and a lid adapted to be removably connected to the vessel. The lid includes an opening coincident with the axis. The grinding tool includes an elongated shaft extending through the opening in the Jid along the axis with a cutting blade mounted to the shaft within the chamber whereby the cutting blade can be rotated by motive device, such as a drill find in the operating room, engaging the shaft exterior of the vessel to cut bone, placed in the vessel, into said bone particles.
