Patent number: 11357495Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods to improve both the reliability of soft tissue repair procedures and the speed at which the procedures are completed are provided. The devices and systems include one or more tissue augmentation constructs, which include constructs that are configured to increase a footprint across which suture applied force to tissue when the suture is tied down onto the tissue. The tissue augmentation constructs can be quickly and easily associated with the repair suture, and can be useful in many different tissue repair procedures that are disclosed in the application. In one exemplary embodiment, one or more constructs are disposed on a suture threader, which can be used to associate the construct(s) with a repair suture(s) being used to repair the soft tissue. Tissue augmentation constructs can include various blocks and patches, among other formations. Exemplary methods for manufacturing the tissue augmentation constructs are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Medos International SarlInventors: Mehmet Ziya Sengun, Gregory R. Whittaker, Benjamin Cleveland, Stefano Berti, Tamim Diab, William R. Parrish, Reagan A. Theis

Patent number: 11026729Abstract: Various exemplary methods, systems, and devices for blood flow are provided. In general, an implant can be configured to be implanted in bone and to delay clotting of blood flowing from the bone. The implant can include an anti-coagulation agent to delay the clotting of the blood. The anti-coagulation agent can be a coating on the implant, can be natural to a material forming the implant, or can be impregnated into a material forming the implant. In an exemplary embodiment, the implant is implanted in a bone in a surgical procedure for securing a soft tissue to bone, such as a rotator cuff repair procedure or an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair procedure.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: MEDOS INTERNATIONAL SARLInventors: Gregory R. Whittaker, Benjamin Cleveland, Julia Hwang, David B. Spenciner, William R. Parrish, Mehmet Z. Sengun, Reagan A. Theis
