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.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for bone stabilization, especially volar distal radius stabilization. The stabilization system may include a bone plate having an elongated portion, an enlarged head portion, and a transition region connecting the elongated portion to the enlarged head portion, and the plate including a plurality of through holes. A plurality of fasteners may be configured to extend through one or more of the plurality of through holes in the bone plate and into the bone. The plate may be used to stabilize a fracture in a long bone, such as a radius.

Abstract: A dental tool tip is removably attached to a vibratory dental handpiece. The dental tool tip includes a mounting base configured for removable engagement with the dental handpiece, the mounting base having an open-ended, internal bore extending therethrough and configured for fluid communication with the dental handpiece and a body having a free distal, terminal end and at least a portion of the body having an abrasive coating. A mounting rod proximally extends from the body and is at least partially received within the internal bore. The mounting rod has at least one open-ended passage extending therethrough and in registry and fluid communication with the internal bore, thereby being configured to enable at least one of air or water to advance from the dental handpiece, and flow out onto the body, via the internal bore and the at least one channel.
