  • Publication number: 20240024128
    Abstract: An impaction handle for use during a surgical procedure to implant a tibial tray into a surgically-prepared proximal end of a tibia includes an impact plate defining a proximal end of the impaction handle and an impact head defining a distal end of the impaction handle. The impaction handle also has an elongated shaft extending between the impact plate and the impact head, along with a locking mechanism to lock the handle to the tibial tray. The impact plate, the impact head, the elongated shaft, and the locking mechanism of the impaction handle collectively define a single monolithic metallic component.

  • Publication number: 20220409384
    Abstract: An annular cutting tool and related methods are provided for herein that exhibit improved durability, cutting performance, and/or reduced heat generation for bone graft resections. The annular cutting tool can include an annular body having cutting teeth with a flat, flared distal tip for greater durability. An extended gullet can be disposed between groups of adjacent cutting teeth to improve removal of bone debris away from the cutting teeth more and thus prevent binding during use. The annular cutting body can have a recessed surface portion to reduce the area of direct contact to bone and thus reduce heat generated. The recessed surface portion can also provide an area in which bone debris can accumulate away from the cutting teeth to prevent or reduce binding of the tool during use. The annular cutting body can also include a drill bit for drilling a hole in a resected bone graft.

  • Patent number: 11446041
    Abstract: A bone saw cutting guide block includes a body and a bone saw guide assembly. The body includes a proximal surface and a distal surface. The bone saw guide assembly includes a first guide slot defined by the body. The first guide slot extends through the proximal surface and the distal surface along an insertion and retraction path. The first guide slot may accommodate lateral movement of a bone saw while guiding the bone saw along the insertion and retraction path. The first guide slot includes a first interior surface and a second interior surface. The first interior surface is spaced a first distance transversely away from the insertion and retraction path. The second interior surface is spaced a second distance transversely away from the insertion and retraction path. The first distance is smaller than the second distance.

  • Publication number: 20200139621
    Abstract: A three-dimensionally printed capsule includes a sintered exterior and an unsintered powder, both formed from a first powder supply. The sintered exterior defines an interior portion that hoses the unsintered powder. The sintered extern includes a base and a removable cap. The removable cap can transition between a fixed position and a detached position. The interior portion is sealed relative to the external environment in the fixed position, while the interior portion is exposed to the external environment in the detached position. The unsintered powder is protected from the external environment when the removable cap is in the fixed position. The unsintered powder is exposed to the external environment when the removeable cap is in the detached position.
