  • Publication number: 20240050102
    Abstract: A rotary cutting tool including an elongated housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongated housing extends circumferentially around a first axis. A drive shaft disposed within the elongated housing and extending between the proximal end and the distal end and rotatable about the first axis. A cutting bit housing coupled to the distal end of the elongated housing and rotatable relative to the drive shaft about an articulation axis between a non-articulated position and one or more articulated positions. A rotary cutting bit coupled to the cutting bit housing and the drive shaft and rotatable about the articulation axis with the cutting bit housing, the rotary cutting bit and drive shaft forming a constant velocity joint.

  • Publication number: 20230363753
    Abstract: Soft anchor constructs and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs. The soft anchors may be knotted or knotless constructs. The soft anchors include a body formed of various soft materials (including, but not limited to, suture) and provided in various shapes and configurations that confer the anchors the ability to be easily inserted within bone tunnels or sockets and be bunched up within the bone tunnels or sockets. At least one closed loop or soft eyelet is attached to the soft anchor to allow additional sliding strands and/or shuttle/pull devices (suture passing devices) to pass through the eyelet and aid in the knotted or knotless fixation of tissue to bone.

  • Patent number: 11571292
    Abstract: A method of tissue repair using a surgical assembly that includes the steps of assembling an implant and a driver, capturing tissue with the implant, installing the implant with the captured tissue in a socket or tunnel, advancing a tapered section of a set screw in the implant, thereby expanding the implant and fixing the implant with the captured tissue in the socket or tunnel, and releasing the driver from engagement with the set screw as the distal end of the set screw reaches the implant's closed end. A surgical assembly that includes an expandable implant having a hole with an entrance at a rear end of the implant and a closed end; a set screw, an implant insertion section, a driver engagement section, and a tapered section, where the implant insertion section is received in the hole of the implant, and a driver that is engaged with the set screw.

  • Patent number: 11510687
    Abstract: An articulating rotary cutting tool configured to articulate a distal cutting tip upon a trigger being operated. The trigger can be locked into various articulating positions. The velocity of rotation of a cutting bit is substantially constant in both articulating and non-articulating positions. An articulation joint is one of a hex ball joint or a flexible spring joint. A button is included to release a locking pressure holding the trigger in a locked position. The trigger may employ articulating sliding surfaces that provide constraint to a flexed head in both directions of articulation.
