Publication number: 20230103416Abstract: A soft tissue and bone repair system and corresponding method are provided which are particularly useful for labral repairs in the human shoulder. The system comprises at least two guide cannulae capable of being introduced into an anatomical structure of a human body at different entry points for repair of a tear in soft tissue. A pulling line can be passed within the anatomical structure between the guide cannulae. A guide device may be attached to the pulling line and inserted into one of the guide cannula. The guide device is capable of delivering a drilling device into the anatomical structure. The pulling line is capable of being pulled to move an end of the guide device from a one location to another within the anatomical structure to position the drilling device on a desired drilling path to access the tear in soft tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventor: Ronald Yamada

Patent number: 11350814Abstract: A gripping device for an endoscope insertion tube utilizing first and second arms that are hingedly attached to one another. Each arm includes an opening to accommodate the insertion tube of an endoscope such that the endoscope insertion tube spans both arms. First and second jaws are associated with first and second arms and are positioned in opposition to one another. The movement of the arms toward one another causes the jaws to engage the insertion tube which is guided through the arms by the apertures found in the arms.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Inventor: Ronald Yamada

Publication number: 20190343555Abstract: An apparatus for repairing an anatomical tear, such as a tear in the meniscus of a human knee. The apparatus includes a guide cannula directing a penetrating shaft through the meniscal tear and through the outer skin layer of the knee. The penetrating shaft pulls a line to the outside of the skin layer of the knee where it is used to pull or kedge a repair implant into position across the meniscal tear.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2019Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventor: Ronald YAMADA

Publication number: 20060064323Abstract: A system for providing users access to information of health parameters on patients. The system includes a modem for receiving digital data from one or more patient sources on the health parameters of the patients and a management computer. The management computer processes the digital data and provides clinical statistics and administrative statistics derived from the digital data. Such clinical statistics and administrative statistics can be accessed via Internet protocol by one or more users such that these users each can access the clinical statistics and the administrative statistics independently.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2005Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Todd Alleckson, Energy Cruse, Karyn Grant, Robert Leichner, Gaurang Mehta, James Rueter, Thomas Shoup, Alexander Tudor, Ronald Yamada
