Publication number: 20230363771Abstract: A cannulated retrograde reamer that is adjustable to create tunnels of multiple different diameters. The cannulated retrograde reamer substantially reduces the risk of tunnel malposition and/or misalignment, and can be adjusted to create a range of tunnel diameters, thereby allowing inventory levels to be reduced for a surgical case.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Steven Mark Bowman, James J. Kennedy, III, Sean M. Frick, Glenn Kenneth Trainer, Jon B. Taylor, David J. Callaghan

Patent number: 11751888Abstract: A cannulated retrograde reamer is adjustable to create tunnels of multiple different diameters. The cannulated retrograde reamer has a first tubular shaft and a second tubular shaft disposed about the first tubular shaft. A cutting member is pivotably coupled to the distal end of the first tubular shaft. The distal end of the second tubular shaft is configured to engage and disengage the proximal end of the cutting member by the rotation and axial movement of the second tubular shaft relative to the first tubular shaft to open and close the cutting member. The cannulated retrograde reamer substantially reduces the risk of tunnel malposition and/or misalignment, and can be adjusted to create a range of tunnel diameters, thereby allowing inventory levels to be reduced for a surgical case.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.Inventors: Steven Mark Bowman, James J. Kennedy, III, Sean M. Frick, Glenn Kenneth Trainer, Jon B. Taylor, David J. Callaghan

Patent number: 9913710Abstract: A tissue graft suspension device includes a platform member, a graft connecting element coupled to the platform member such that a portion of the graft connecting element forms a loop for attachment to a tissue graft, and an enclosure member coupled to the loop of the graft connecting element and configured to enclose a biologic material. The enclosure member defines an opening configured to receive the biologic material. The graft connecting element and the enclosure member are configured such that, during use, the tissue graft is coupled to the loop and in contact with the enclosure member.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Michael James Perriello, Alfred Rodrigue Berube, Jr., Steven Mark Bowman, John Albert Slusarz, Jr.

Publication number: 20170020589Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an interference screw having a body with a proximal end, distal end, and longitudinal axis extending between thereinbetween. The screw further includes threads for fixing the screw into bone. The screw further includes a through bore defined by the body. The through bore extends between the proximal and distal ends along the longitudinal axis, and has a surface. The screw further includes a controlling member formed by the through bore surface. To install the screw into bone, a surgeon turns the screw with a driver that engages with the controlling member. The driver only engages the controlling member when it is in a driving orientation with respect to the controlling member. Advantageously, with this “one-way” engagement the surgeon can control and confirm the orientation of the driver without seeing the driver and/or screw.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Steven Mark Bowman, Alfred R. Berube, Bernard Joseph Bourque, Wei Yang, Mark Edwin Housman, John Stroncek

Patent number: 9549769Abstract: An instrument includes a flexible shaft portion and a hook portion. The flexible shaft portion has a proximal end and a distal end and includes markings along an outer surface of the shaft portion. The hook portion is located at the distal end of the shaft portion. The shaft portion and the hook portion define a lumen that terminates in an opening at the hook portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Jason Roch LeBeau, Carmel Ilka Bijoux, Steven Mark Bowman
