Patent number: 9717586Abstract: The present invention has multiple aspects relating to a bone-tendon-bone graft and components thereof. Embodiments of the present invention comprise an intermediate bone block that is used to adjustably secure soft tissue (e.g., tendon) in a patient. The present invention further relates to an assembled bone-tendon-bone graft suitable for implantation in humans comprising the intermediate bone block and a length of soft tissue. In a preferred embodiment, a bone-tendon-bone graft comprises a length of soft tissue (e.g., tendon) extending from a first assembled bone block to a second bone block and then doubles back to said first assembled bone block. Depending upon the embodiment, the second bone block fixedly or slideably attaches to the length of soft tissue and facilitates it doubling back to the first assembled bone block.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: RTI Surgical, Inc.Inventors: John R. Bianchi, Arunas A. Zhukauskas, Todd E. Goede, Lauren M. Brown, Guy B. Grover, Wesley I. Lewis, Joe Kutsavage

Publication number: 20130345811Abstract: The present invention has multiple aspects relating to a bone-tendon-bone graft and components thereof. Embodiments of the present invention comprise an intermediate bone block that is used to adjustably secure soft tissue (e.g., tendon) in a patient. Preferred intermediate bone blocks comprise at least one machined segment of cortical bone, cancellous bone or both. Embodiments of intermediate bone blocks of the present invention are used singly or in combination with one or more bone blocks to form a bone block assembly for securing soft tissue. The present invention further relates to an assembled bone-tendon-bone graft suitable for implantation in humans comprising the intermediate bone block and a length of soft tissue. In a preferred embodiment, a bone-tendon-bone graft comprises a length of soft tissue (e.g., tendon) extending from a first assembled bone block to a second bone block and then doubles back to said first assembled bone block.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2013Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventors: John R.

Patent number: 8211141Abstract: A vasoocclusive embolic delivery system for use in placement of an embolic coil at a treatment site within a vessel. The embolic coil includes an elongated stretch resistant fiber having its distal end bonded to the distal end of the embolic coil. The stretch resistant fiber extends through a central lumen of the coil and extends beyond the proximal end of the coil. Also included is a generally cylindrical stabilization bead, having a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the central lumen of the coil, mounted on the stretch resistant fiber within the lumen of the embolic coil. The stabilization bead serves to keep the stretch resistant fiber centered within the lumen of the embolic coil. Additionally, a headpiece is mounted on the proximal end of the stretch resistant fiber and serves to couple the embolic coil to the delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2009Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Codman & Shurtleff, Inc.Inventors: Richard Champion Davis, III, Todd E. Goede, David A. Kilmer

Patent number: 8007533Abstract: The present technology is related to the field of bone-tendon-bone implants, grafts, and components thereof, for implantation in mammals, particularly for implantation in humans. More particularly, the present technology relates to assembled implants that comprise a length of tendon and at least two bone components or intermediate bone blocks that are assembled to form a bone-tendon-bone implant, and methods of making such implants. In some embodiments, implants of the present technology provide a first grip on the tendon prior to implantation and a second grip during or after implantation. In some embodiments, bone block assemblies or intermediate bone blocks of the present technology have a first geometric configuration prior to implantation and a second geometric configuration during or after implantation.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: RTI Biologics, Inc.Inventors: Arunas A. Zhukauskas, Todd E. Goede, Eric J. Schmitt, Lauren M. Brown, Guy B. Grover, Predrag Bursac, Ben R. Sanders
