Patent number: 11331129Abstract: A medical device that may include a main body and a plurality of hooks. The main body includes a length extending along an axis between first and second ends. The main body may be deformable such that the axis forms an arch shape corresponding to a shape of a mandibular jaw or a maxillary jaw. The main body may include a plurality of sections each having first and second edges defining a first width and a plurality of openings disposed between the first and second edges and extending through a thickness of the main body. The main body may include a plurality of recessed portions defining a second width disposed between adjacent ones of the sections. Each of the hooks may extend from a corresponding one of the sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Shahin Ghobadi, Saddy R. Garcia, Adam Hausman, Shawn Robinson, Max Billard, Ryan Luby

Patent number: 10792050Abstract: A surgical device of a drill/driver with bit recognition to set a desired application mode and a method of utilization thereof is provided. Various operating modes of the drill/driver are automatically set by a sensor which recognizes the bit applied to the drill/driver. A method of utilizing the drill/driver allows the drill driver to apply surgical screws at very high speeds while automatically preventing excessive torque levels that would strip out the surgical screw from the patient's bone.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Saddy R. Garcia, Bradley Winterroth, Ryan Nicholas Luby, Larry Miller, Christopher C. Dyer, Benjamin J. Gray, Allan J. Meredith

Patent number: 10058364Abstract: A locking mechanism for securing ends of an implantable fabric including a plate member having an aperture therethrough. A cam member is rotatable relative to the aperture between a locked state and an unlocked state. The implantable fabric is movable relative to the plate member when the cam member is in the unlocked state and restricted from moving relative to the plate member when the cam member is in the locked state.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventor: Saddy R.

Patent number: 10010359Abstract: A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a band, a locking terminal, and a tensioning device. The band may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The locking terminal may fixedly engage a first portion of the band and selectively fixedly engage a second portion of the band. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded rod. The threaded rod may be received in the body and may engage the band such that movement of the threaded rod relative to the body moves the second portion of the band relative to the first portion of the band.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Saddy R. Garcia, Ryan N. Luby, Bryan Wilcox, Scott Sidwell, Aurelien Bruneau, Sam Sink, Rachel Hale, Benjamin Witten

Patent number: 9358054Abstract: A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a bracket, a band and a tensioning device. The bracket may include a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion. The band may engage the bracket and may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded member. The threaded member may be received in the body and may engage the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Biomet Microfixation, LLCInventors: Saddy R.
