Patent number: 11660144Abstract: A fiducial marker includes a fastener and a feedback component to provide a registration signal when engaged by a probe. The feedback component includes light-up cap, a conducting component, a magnetic component and an RFID tag. A cap for registering fiducial markers with robotic surgical systems includes a housing, a socket in the housing for coupling to a fastener, an access port in the housing, a switch disposed in the housing proximate the access port, and a sensory indicator device coupled to the switch, wherein the sensory indicator device produces a signal when activated through the access port to confirm marker contact. Methods of registering a fiducial marker fastener, such as with robotic surgical systems, include manipulating a probe to align with a signal-producing feedback component attached to or integrated with the fastener, and engaging the feedback component with the probe to activate a sensory feedback indicator.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Saddy Garcia, Florian Coiseur

Patent number: 11607253Abstract: To replace costal cartilage that has been surgically removed, a surgeon can implant a flexible element to connect a rib to the sternum. In some examples, the flexible element can be formed from a material having a selected durometer (e.g., a measure of material stiffness or hardness), and can be shaped to have a selected geometry (e.g., cross-sectional size and shape), to match the flexibility (e.g. resistance to bending) of the natural costal cartilage. The flexible element can connect to the rib via a rib bracket, which can be rigid, and can attach to a sternal end of the rib via one or more fasteners. The flexible element can connect to the sternum via a sternum bracket, which can also be rigid, and can also attach to the sternum via one or more fasteners. The fasteners can be screws, nails, staples, or others.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Max Holland Billard, Saddy Garcia
