    摘要: The present invention provides a composition and method for augmenting soft tissue, which composition includes a continuous phase that is a solid at temperatures less than about 10° C. or greater than about 30° C. and is a fluid at temperatures between about 10° C. and about 30° C., and which contains an aqueous solvent having dissolved therein a hydrogel and a dehydrating agent, and a discontinuous phase containing a plurality of hydrophilic hydrogel particles that are swellable in the aqueous solvent, that are not biodegradable for periods of time in excess of one year, and that have a hydrated diameter of greater than about 25 microns upon hydration by physiologic fluid; wherein the final volume of the hydrophilic hydrogel particles upon hydration by physiologic fluid is substantially the same as the initial volume of the composition used to augment the soft tissue.

    摘要: The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for delivering an article formed of a shape memory alloy to a surgical implantation site. The apparatus may include a body having a passage for receiving the proximal portion of the shape memory article, the passage being shaped to substantially prevent the shape memory article from deforming in accordance with its shape memory properties when the proximal portion of the shape memory article is positioned in the passage. An exemplary involves placing the distal portions of legs of a staple in at least one passage in a constraining device that substantially constrains the legs from deforming; and placing the proximal portions of the legs of the staple in at least one passage in an apparatus that, independently of the constraining device, substantially prevents the legs from deforming.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reattaching the opposed ends of a member, such as a tendon, ligament or bone, during preparing and healing of the member using a surgical repair device that can be securely attached to the member and then safely guided through tortuous anatomy for reattachment and repair. The repair device further includes structural means so as to secure opposed ends of the member against separation during healing. Devices for aiding in the positioning of the surgical repair device are provided.
