Patent number: 11801045Abstract: A suture passing device has a curved, slotted shaft with a piercing end and an integral suture grasper, allowing the surgeon to pierce through a first tissue portion with the device and extend a looped portion of monofilament loaded within the shaft into the repair site. The shaft is then rotated so that the monofilament is allowed to fall out of the shaft through the slot. The surgeon then pierces a second tissue portion with the device and extends the suture grasper to capture the looped portion of monofilament. The monofilament is retrieved through the second tissue portion and a suture is passed through the looped portion of the monofilament. Finally, the flexible member is used to pull the suture through the tissue and the suture can be tensioned to close the hip capsule.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignees: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC., SMITH & NEPHEW ORTHOPAEDICS AG, SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE LIMITEDInventor: Timothy Young

Publication number: 20220401627Abstract: A tendon/ligament repair implant for treatment of tears or lesions of tendons and ligaments, including capsular reconstruction, and compositions for delivering calcium and/or phosphate ions in combination with a collagen solution that can be placed between soft tissue and bone to facilitate healing of the soft tissue-bone interface are provided. The implant may incorporate features of rapid deployment and fixation by arthroscopic means that complement current procedures; tensile properties that result in desired sharing of anatomical load between the implant and native tendon during rehabilitation, or, in situations where the native tissue cannot be repaired tensile properties that provide for substitution of the native tissue selected porosity and longitudinal pathways for tissue in-growth; and may include an at least partially bioabsorbable construction to provide transfer of additional load to new tendon-like tissue and native tendon over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicants: Smith & Nephew, Inc., Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics AG, Smith & Nephew Asia Pacific Pte.

Publication number: 20220192652Abstract: Methods for measuring tissue defects include the use of a suture anchor, a drill guide, a needle driver, and a ruler. Using the drill guide, the surgeon extends the suture attached to an implanted anchor between the first and second ends of the defect. The surgeon then attaches a needle driver to the suture extending from the proximal end of the drill guide. Finally, the surgeon retracts the suture back through the drill guide and measures the distance between the needle driver and the proximal end of the drill guide to determine a length of a graft needed to repair the defect.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: J.W.
