Publication number: 20230390111Abstract: An apparatus includes a body, and anchoring feature, and a guide feature. The body is sized and configured to be positioned on an eye of a patient. The anchoring feature is configured to secure the body to the eye of the patient. The guide feature is configured to guide a cannula into a scleral incision formed in the eye of the patient along a path that is substantially tangential relative to the eye of the patient. The guide feature is sized and configured to allow the cannula to pivot laterally through a range of angular motion at the scleral incision.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Thomas E. Meyer, Mark Hedgeland, Benjamin Ko, Thomas Gernetzke, Olivia Enneking, Eric Kennedy, Robert Roth, Michael Auld, Jacob Schubert, Samuel Ridgley

Patent number: 11730524Abstract: Intramedullary nails, aiming guide assemblies, and methods. The aiming guide assembly can include an aiming guide having an elongate proximal handle portion. A generally arcuate distal implant alignment tip connector portion is connected to the proximal handle portion and has a distal implant alignment tip extending along a tip axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the proximal handle portion. A recon module may be releasably attached to a proximal end of the proximal handle portion. An oblique module may be releasably attached to the distal implant alignment tip portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Mark Hedgeland, Mark Rossney, David R.

Publication number: 20230140303Abstract: An apparatus includes a body and a head. The head defines a fluid reservoir. The head includes a distal face and a needle. The distal face is configured to engage an exterior surface of a patient's eye at an anterior region of the patient's eye. The needle is configured to extend distally from the distal face. The needle has a length sufficient to extend through a sclera layer of the patient's eye and thereby position at least a portion of a distal tip of the needle in a suprachoroidal space of the patient's eye at an anterior region of the patient's eye. The needle is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir such that the needle is operable to deliver fluid from the fluid reservoir into the suprachoroidal space of the patient's eye.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Mark Hedgeland, Thomas E. Meyer, Justin A. Creel
