  • Publication number: 20240065689
    Abstract: A suture button system for fixing a syndesmotic injury comprises a flexible fixation implant and an inserter device used to deploy the implant across bones. The flexible fixation implant typically comprises a flexible connector and two suture buttons which interface with the bone surface or a bone plate or washer. The flexible connector comprises a plurality of suture strands. The buttons typically have a feature which allows them to interface with an instrument used to deploy the implant across the two bones. The inserter device is configured to interface with the flexible fixation implant and to position it across bones through a pre-drilled bone tunnel. The inserter device may comprise an cannulated insertion rod and a handle.

  • Publication number: 20210233629
    Abstract: An electronic medical records system providing a graphical user interface for receipt of data into a shared “chart” configured to receive data associated with multiple associated patients (e.g., mother and baby). The system is structured to provide a link from the shared chart to the electronic medical records of individual patients associated with the shared chart, and to provide data sharing and/or automated population of data from the shared chart into multiple linked electronic medical records of multiple patients in an appropriate selective fashion. The shared chart may be structured to gather information according to particular clinical workflows for multiple patients, and on a single interface window displayable on a single display screen. The system avoids duplicative data entry and associated errors while ensuring that the both related charts are up to date, and allows for compact data input and display relative to available physical space on a display device.
