8177795, May 15, 2012

Filed:

Oct 21, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/603232

Inventors:

Brad A. Niese - Gilbert AZ, US
Nicanor A. Domingo - Santa Clara CA, US
Hoang P. Nguyen - Litchfield Park AZ, US
Kevin N. Baird - Phoenix AZ, US

Assignee:

Cayenne Medical, Inc. - Scottsdale AZ

International Classification:

A61B 17/04

US Classification:

606144

Abstract:

A device for repairing a tear in a portion of tissue comprises a proximal actuator portion, a transfer needle extending distally from the proximal actuator portion and a catch needle extending distally from the proximal actuator portion. A suture needle is disposed in the transfer needle, and is extendable from the transfer needle toward the catch needle and retractable from the catch needle toward the transfer needle. An extendable catch plunger is disposed in the catch needle for capturing suture therein when it is transferred from the transfer needle. A retractable insertion sheath is provided for covering the transfer needle and the catch needle when the device is inserted into a procedural site. A depth limiting apparatus limits the depth of insertion of the needle into the procedural site.

Inventors:

- Warsaw IN, US
Hoang Nguyen - Litchfield Park AZ, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/04
A61F 2/08
A61B 17/16

Abstract:

Disclosure herein are knotless suture anchor constructs and methods of use thereof. The suture anchor constructs can include a bone anchor and a suture. The bone anchor can include a suture anchoring member and can define a cavity and a longitudinal passage extending from a trailing end of the bone anchor at least partially therethrough to the cavity. The suture anchoring member can be located in the cavity. The suture can be coupled to the suture anchoring member and can include a tensioning portion, a repair portion, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion can form a suture loop extending along the longitudinal passage.

International Classification:

G07F 17/32
G06Q 50/34
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A casino management system is described herein. The system includes an API server computer coupled to a plurality of business service systems and a plurality of gaming machines. The API server computer receives an HTTP request from a gaming machine including a URL including a resource request including a business service identifier and a resource object. The API server computer identifies a business service system associated with the business service identifier and transmits an API call to the identified business service system. The API server computer receives resource object data from the identified business service system in response to the transmitted API call and generates and transmits a return response including the received resource object data to the gaming machine that causes the gaming machine to generate HTML code to a webpage including the resource object data.

International Classification:

A61B 17/04
A61B 17/17

Abstract:

A method of anchoring soft tissue to a suitable bone site, using a soft suture anchor, includes steps of disposing the soft suture anchor on a shaft of an inserter, and securing a proximal end of a tensioning suture limb, extending proximally from the soft suture anchor, to structure in a handle of the inserter, so that it is maintained in place at a first level of holding tension (T). The inserter shaft is inserted into a bone hole at a desired procedural site, so that the soft suture anchor is positioned at a location where it is to be anchored. A further step involves actuating a control mechanism in the inserter handle to move the structure proximally to apply a second level of deployment tension (T) to the tensioning suture limb.
