Patent number: 8585579Abstract: An implantable anatomical support includes a non-rectangular support body with a plurality of arms extending from the support body; an interconnecting member that is coupled to each of the arms; and an adjustable anchor slidably coupled to at least one of the interconnecting members to permit bi-directional movement along the interconnecting member and so configured to exert a compressive force generating frictional interference between the adjustable anchor and the interconnecting member to inhibit the bi-directional movement of the adjustable anchor along the interconnecting member unless sufficient force is applied to overcome the frictional interference.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2009Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Mark A. Moschel, Pornpimon Narthasilpa, Christopher A. Thierfelder

Patent number: 8545521Abstract: A suturing assembly is provided that is configured to pull a capsule attached to a suture through tissue. The suturing assembly includes a shaft aligned on a longitudinal axis of the suturing assembly, and a head coupled to the shaft. The head includes a proximal portion and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal portion by a throat. The proximal portion houses a needle that is movable through a needle exit port. The proximal portion of the head and the needle exit port are both aligned on the longitudinal axis. A proximal side of the distal end of the head defines a cavity adapted to receive the capsule and a distal side of the distal end of the head defines a slot adapted to allow the suture to pass through the distal end of the head and into the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Steven McClurg, Christopher Anthony Thierfelder, Allen Gaynor, Pornpimon Narthasilpa, Timothy Andrew Bachman, Christian Richard Trifilio, Matthew Vail Leyden, Nicholas Ellering, Michael K. Luk, James Leigh Lindenberg, Donald Wolf

Publication number: 20110022063Abstract: A suturing assembly configured to place suture in tissue includes a handle having an actuator, a shaft coupled to the handle, and a head coupled to the shaft. The head includes a proximal portion housing a needle movable through a needle exit port and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal portion by a throat, the distal end defining a cavity. The actuator is configured to move the needle out of the needle exit port formed in the proximal portion of the head and across the throat to engage a capsule disposed in the cavity formed in the distal end of the head, the capsule attached to the suture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2010Publication date: January 27, 2011Inventors: Steven McClurg, Christopher Anthony Thierfelder, Allen Gaynor, Pornpimon Narthasilpa, Timothy Andrew Bachman, Christian Richard Trifilio, Matthew Vail Leyden, Nicholas Ellering, Michael K.
