Abstract: A graft suspension device for suspending a ligament in a bone hole having a first loop and a second loop suspending from an 8-hole anchor, and a cradle at the opposite end of the loops to the anchor. The loose ends of the suture are routed through holes in the anchor separate from the loops and are joined together to form a single tail. A finger loop allows a surgeon to adjust the distance of the cradle from the anchor with the cradle staying centered with respect to the anchor as the distance is adjusted.

Abstract: A deformable or flexible suture anchor having apertures secures a suture to a skeletal structure via holes drilled through the skeletal structure, and passing the suture therethrough. A deformable structure permits the anchor to resiliently deform or bend for passing through an aperture, and resume a size larger than the passed aperture for securement on an opposed side of the aperture.

Abstract: A tissue repair device including a handle, an elongated needle body defining an axial bore extending from the handle, first and second implants connected by a suture and disposed at least partially within the axial bore of the needle. A ratchet assembly includes a pusher member that incrementally advances through the needle body to urge the first and second implants therefrom in a predefined sequence, a proximally-biased rotatable ratchet coupled to the pusher member, and an axially translatable drive mechanism configured to provide axial and rotational driving forces causing the ratchet to alternately engage and disengage from successively more distal teeth of a toothed surface within the handle. One or more implant retention features impeded undesired expulsion of implants from the needle.

Abstract: Surgical drill guides have modular configurations and are adapted to accommodate a wide range of anatomy. The surgical drill guides are adapted to be removed while leaving a guide wire in its intended location in human bone. The distal end of the drill guide acts as a safety stop for the guide wire by preventing the guide wire from penetrating too far past the far side of the bone.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include implants, instruments, and methods for attaching or reattaching soft tissue (200, 2200) to a bone (100), that enable independent tensioning of multiple connectors such as sutures (60, 160, 2060, 2160) and enable redundant fixation between bone (100) and soft tissue (200, 2200). Some embodiments provide for improved accuracy of the placement of substantially parallel tunnels through which soft tissue (200, 2200) to bone (100) connectors such as sutures (60, 160, 2060, 2160) are passed.

Abstract: A drill guide system provides a means of improved tunnel placement accuracy by allowing the drill guide to articulate to seat against the bone being drilled. The drill guide includes an articulating drill guide adapter constructed in four parts: a top cap, a thumbscrew, a lock tab, and a spring mechanism. The drill guide adapter is part of an aimer arm which mates with a handle on the proximal end and an aimer guide on the distal end. The drill guide adaptor allows the aimer guide to articulate relative to an irregular mating surface, allowing for increased area contact between the aimer guide template and bone. Examples of the drill guide adaptor also include a means for locking the aimer guide into place relative to the aimer arm.

Abstract: Apparatus for tissue graft fixation. A tissue graft fixation device includes a main body part (15) provided with a pair of suture through holes (20, 25) positioned on opposite sides of a spherically radiused screw through hole (30), the pair of suture through holes sized to receive sutures, the spherically radiused screw through hole sized to receive a radiused head of a securing screw, and two spike parts (35, 40) extending substantially parallel to each other from an underside of the main body, the spike parts spaced apart at a predetermined distance slightly shorter than a diameter of a formed bone tunnel and adapted be stricken into a bone.
