Publication number: 20230355835Abstract: Polymeric compositions, methods, and delivery devices for inhibiting bleeding are disclosed. The method includes applying a dried material topically to a wound site, where the material may include a cross-linked biologically compatible polymer which forms a hydrogel when exposed to blood and where the material may not include an active agent such as thrombin. A spring-loaded delivery device as described herein may be used to apply the dried material.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: John Barry, Paul Sanders, Rahul Singh, Krishnakumarsinh H.

Patent number: 11589994Abstract: The augments, systems and methods for supporting acetabular implants described herein can include an augment (100) for supporting an acetabular shell (90) having a first portion (136) of a locking mechanism. The system can also include a shell having a second portion of a locking mechanism (96). The first portion of the locking mechanism and the second portion of the locking mechanism can be adapted to move relative to one another from an unlocked state to a locked state to fixedly couple the augment to the shell. In some examples, the augment can be contourable to match the shape of a bone.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Aaron P. Smith, Stephanie Klunk, Kirk J. Bailey

Publication number: 20210307932Abstract: A fitting ring can be provided that is attachable to an edge of a liner for an acetabular shell. The fitting ring can include an alignment portion shaped or configured to engage a lip portion of the acetabular shell as the liner is inserted into the acetabular shell to center the liner and correct any pivoting of the liner relative to the acetabular shell. A driving force can be applied to the liner to drive the liner into the acetabular shell while the fitting ring guides the liner as the liner is inserted into the acetabular shell. Driving the liner into the acetabular shell can also cause the fitting ring to disengage from the liner.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: Austen Davenport, Stephanie Klunk

Patent number: 10806588Abstract: An acetabular prosthesis is described that includes a shell having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface defining an external shape. There is at least one through bore extending from the outer surface of the shell to the inner surface of the shell. At least one augment is configured to be positioned at least partially within the at least one through bore of the shell such that, in an assembled state, the shell and the at least one augment define a modified external shape.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Kirk J. Bailey, Christopher Peters, Adolph V. Lombardi, Stephanie Klunk, Aaron P. Smith, Keith R. Berend
