Surgical devices permitting a surgeon to access repeatedly tissue at a particular surgical site in a patient to perform multiple surgeries over time. The devices have two substantially planar and parallel leaves that are sterile, nonresorbable, and biocompatible. Each leaf forms a continuous structure and defines the entire longitudinal length of the device to accommodate the size and location of the surgical site. A base member is located in situ and adjacent the surgical site. An anchoring surface secures the device to the tissue of the patient at the surgical site. The leaves have a conjoined portion such that a manual force is required to separate the leaves, thereby expeditiously creating a pathway through which access to the tissue at the surgical site is realized with minimal tissue dissection, and the proximal ends of the leaves are not conjoined to facilitate separation of the leaves and creation of the pathway.

Non-resorbable implantable guides

A method for reducing the occurrence of new post-operative fractures in vertebrae of a patient's spine after a vertebroplasty procedure performed to stabilize a fracture in a vertebra of a patient comprising the steps of performing a vertebroplasty procedure to stabilize a fracture in a vertebra of the patient, wherein the vertebroplasty procedure comprises the step of injecting a material into the fractured vertebra, wherein the material is formed by mixing together a first paste and a second paste, wherein the first paste comprises at least one of a polymerizable monomer and a filler, and wherein the second paste comprises at least one of a polymerizable monomer and a filler.

Method for stabilizing vertebral body architecture

The invention relates to devices and kits for the controlled delivery of viscous, multi component compositions.

Delivery of multicomponent compositions

Novel kits are provided for the delivery of restorative or injectable compositions into an intraosseous space or surgical defect comprising cannulae for accessing an intraosseous space, mandarins insertable into the cannulae and movable therein, one or more catheters and a system for the delivery of aliquots of restorative compositions into the space via the catheters.

System and kit for delivery of restorative materials

Novel kits are provided for the delivery of restorative compositions into an intraosseous space or surgical defect comprising cannulae for accessing an intraosseous space, mandarins insertable into the cannulae and movable therein, catheters and a system for the delivery of aliquots of restorative compositions into the space via the catheters.

Novel methods for the delivery of biocompatible material to intraosseous spaces are provided comprising accessing a space, placing a first aliquot of restorative material into the space, and after a period of time sufficient for first aliquot to set, placing a second aliquot into the space.
