Patent number: 9566056Abstract: A suture anchor is described. The suture anchor includes an elongate anchor body having a proximal end and a distal end, at least one suture secured within the anchor body, and at least one piercing structure secured within the body extending proximally out of the proximal end of the body, wherein the at least one piercing structure is engaged with the at least one suture. A method of attaching soft tissue to bone in a subject is also described. The method includes the steps of securing an anchor device into a bore formed in the bone, the anchor device comprising an anchor body and at least one pre-loaded piercing structure with at least one suture attached to both the anchor body and the piercing structure, piercing a soft tissue by forcing the at least one piercing structure through the soft tissue, such that at least a portion of the at least one suture passes through the soft tissue, and tying the at least one suture against the soft tissue to secure the soft tissue to the bone.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2013Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Aevumed, Inc.Inventors: Miles Ole Curtis, Saif Khalil

Patent number: 9526899Abstract: An implantable pulse generator (IPG) that generates spinal cord stimulation signals for a human body includes a timing generator and high frequency generator. The timing generator generates timing signals that represent stimulation signals for multiple channels. The high frequency generator determines whether to modulate the timing signals and modulates them at a burst frequency according to stored burst parameters if the decision is yes. As such, the IPG provides the ability to generate both the low frequency and high frequency stimulation signals in different channels according to user programming.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Biele, Raghavendra Angara, Saif Khalil
