Patent number: 11945021Abstract: A needle bending assembly configured to at least temporarily contain a needle can include a first housing section, a second housing section, and a coupling element coupled between the first housing section and the second housing section. The first housing section defines a first cavity configured to at least temporarily contain a first section of the needle. The second housing section defines a second cavity configured to at least temporarily contain a second section of the needle forming a distal tip. The coupling element is configured such that when the needle is contained within the housing sections, movement of the second housing section relative to the first housing section results in a bending of the needle at a location corresponding to the coupling element.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: BendRx, Inc.Inventors: Scott Edward Parazynski, John Spiegel Michels, Jr., Jeffrey William Bull, Roy Melling

Publication number: 20230320838Abstract: A graft tensioning tool includes an elongate frame having a proximal end, a distal end, and an axial passage extending therethrough. The distal end is configured to detachably engage a tunnel ring at an entrance to a tunnel in bone, and the frame includes a first suture puller and a second suture puller. Each suture puller detachably engages a length of suture emerging through the attached to suture and/or a soft tissue implant in the bone tunnel. A tensioner on the elongate frame displaces the suture pullers in a proximal direction to apply a controlled tension to the suture lengths and/or implant. A tension gauge measures tension applied to the suture pullers, and a locking tool is configured to engage the suture lock through the axial passage of the frame, allowing a user to fix the suture ends to bone when a target tension is attained.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Tesa Medical, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Duquesnel, Brian Bowman, Clayton Alderson, Diana Rosales, Ian Fried, Howard Edelman, Scott Edward Parazynski
