  • Publication number: 20210228200
    Abstract: A tissue repair assembly for attachment of tissue to bone or tissue to tissue having a soft anchoring implant 100 with a length of suture 120 there through for tensioning the implant and facilitating attachment of other tissue. The implant 100 is a soft, flexible, three-dimensional structure that has a resident volume 200. An inserter tube 310 facilitates the placement of the implant 100 into bone or adjacent soft tissue where it may be deployed. Upon deployment, the soft anchoring implant 100 shortens axially and expands radially, achieving a larger diameter than the hole through which it was placed, thus resisting pull out.

  • Publication number: 20060226086
    Abstract: Described herein is a continuous-flow centrifuge (CFC) which may be embodied in an automated system for collecting and separating whole blood into its components. The collection and separation system includes a console and a disposable set. Various blood processing procedures which produce specific blood products may be implemented by using a specific disposable set for each process. The disposable set may include a manifold, a CFC, and various components attached by tubing. These components may include one or more solution bags, blood product bags, bacterial filters, leukofilters, and a donor blood collection tube with access needle. The manifold and CFC disk may be included in a cassette that mounts onto the front panel of the console. The console may contain valve actuators, pressure transducers, ultrasonic sensors, a roller pump assembly, a CFC drive system, optical sensors, electronics, software, user interface components, a bar code reader and data acquisition components.

  • Publication number: 20060226090
    Abstract: Described herein is a method and apparatus for collecting and separating whole blood into its components, including collecting an amount of plasma and red blood cells. The collection and separation system includes a console and a disposable set. The method may include processing the blood through the centrifuge, collecting plasma, collecting red blood cells and returning red blood cells until a desired plasma volume is reached. Then a final volume of red blood cells and plasma may be collected. The disposable set may include a manifold, a CFC, and various components attached by tubing. These components may include one or more solution bags, blood product bags, bacterial filters, leukofilters, and a donor blood collection tube with access needle.
