Patent number: 10595904Abstract: A band clamp tensioning system that includes a tensioning instrument that has a hollow body with proximal and distal ends that define a longitudinal axis, and a travel slot, a tension tightening rod disposed co-axially within the hollow body, and a carriage assembly for receiving and tensioning a band, the carriage assembly disposed co-axially within the hollow body and having a center aperture through which the tension tightening rod is inserted, and a carriage that includes at least one channel for inserting a band, and a band securing mechanism. In use the carriage moves axially between proximal and distal ends within the slot along the exterior surface of the hollow body when the tightening rod is manipulated. The system also includes a clamp housing and a band that can be tensioned around bone with the tensioning instrument and secured to the clamp housing with a locking element.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: BAND-LOK, LLCInventors: Michael Albert, Randy Roof, Stuart Lindquist, John M Kapitan

Patent number: 9770268Abstract: A clamp housing assembly and method for providing stabilization as a bone anchor during an operation. The assembly includes a housing, a locking element and a band. The housing defines a longitudinal axis, a center recess, and at least one slot. The housing has two opposing arms extending from a base. At least a portion of the inside surface of each arm may be threaded and at least a portion of the outside surface of each arm may be planar. The locking element is positionable within the recess in a co-axial relationship to the housing. The band is sized for travel along a predetermined path defined in part by the at least one slot in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2016Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: BAND-LOK, LLCInventors: Michael Albert, Randy Roof, Stuart Lindquist, John M Kapitan
