  • Publication number: 20200138491
    Abstract: A device for use in orthopedic procedures involving the alignment and fixation of bone. The device includes a body having a bone facing surface, an opposing surface, a lateral surface being disposed between the bone facing surface and the opposing surface and a longitudinal axis extending through the bone facing surface and the opposing surface. The body defines a pin hole extending through the body from the bone facing surface to the opposing surface, a bone fastener hole extending through the body from the bone facing surface to the opposing surface, a tool hole extending at least partially through the body and an alignment index for positioning the body relative to bone.

  • Publication number: 20170325806
    Abstract: Disclosed is a suturing device comprising a lower jaw rigidly attached to an elongated suturing device body, an upper jaw mobile with respect to the lower jaw, and an activation mechanism for actuating movement of the upper jaw, wherein each jaw comprises at least two apertures or channels within the lower jaw configured and dimensioned to allow a suture thread to pass through. Also disclosed is a suturing device comprising an elongated drive shaft, a handle assembly comprising a tubular handle body, at least one movable element connected to the drive shaft, and an activation mechanism comprising an rotatable activation knob for actuating movement of the at least one movable element. A suturing device combining the above-described jaw elements and activation mechanism is additionally provided. Further, kits comprising disclosed devices and surgical methods utilizing the same are also provided.
