A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is rotating mounted in the void space. A shaving tube, also able to rotate, is coaxially disposed about the cutter. The cutter and shaving tube have complementary edges. A drive assembly rotates the cutter and shaving tube at different speeds, at different times or in different directions relative to the cutter. As a result of the rotation of the cutter and shaving tube soft tissue adhering to the bone stock is cut away from the bone stock by the relative rotating of the cutting edges of the cutter and shaving tube.

Bone cleaning assembly

A bone cleaning assembly () with cleaning elements () that remove soft tissue from bone stock. The module also includes a clearing element () that is periodically urged against the cleaning elements to remove bone stock trapped by the cleaning elements from the cleaning elements.

A bone cleaning assembly () with cleaning elements () that remove soft tissue bone stock. The module also includes a clearing element () that is periodically urged against the cleaning elements to remove bone stock trapped by the cleaning elements from the cleaning elements.

An intramedullary autograft harvesting instrument () includes a cutting rod () having a body () and a cutting head (), a harvesting member () configured to be disposed about the body () of the cutting rod (), and an outer tube () configured to be disposed about the harvesting member (). A method of using the instrument () transports harvested tissue from an intramedullary canal.

Bone cleaning assembly with a rotating cutter that is disposed in a rotating shaving tube that rotates independently of the rotating cutter

A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is located within the void space. A shaving tube is coaxially disposed about the cutter to move at different speeds and/or directions relative to the cutter. When actuated, the cutter rotates to clean the bone stock by cutting soft tissue from the bone stock. A tumble plate reorients the bone stock, while an arm moves across the tumble plate from a disengaged position to an engaged position to press the bone stock into the cutter through a window in the shaving tube. A drive assembly actuates the cutter, shaving tube, arm and tumble plate.

Textured surface having micro recesses such that the outer surface overhangs the micro recesses. Embodiments of the textured surface include sharp edges for promoting bone deposition and growth within the micro recesses, protrusions of varying depth from the surface that include overhangs, and micro recesses that are at least partially defined by complex ellipsoids.

The present invention is directed to a boot hanger which includes a hook and at least two spaced apart support arms. Each support arm includes a first section having a first end rigidly attached to a base of the hook and a second end disposed distal from the hook. The first section extends at a downward slope from the base of the hook, so that when the hook is disposed to be a high point of the hanger, the second end is disposed lower than the first end. Further, the support arms include a second section having a first end connected to the second end of the first section, and a second end disposed in a region approximately under the hook. The first sections of the support arms angle away from each other to collectively form an acute angle, with the vertex of the acute angle being at a base of the hook. The second sections of the support arms are spaced apart from each other at a generally constant distance, and are generally parallel to each other.

Boot hanger

A porous structure having a plurality of bonded sheets each sheet having at least one aperture that partially overlaps an aperture of at least one other sheet. A method of producing a porous structure including stacking a plurality of sheets each sheet having a multiplicity of apertures, and bonding each sheet to its adjoining sheet. An open-pore network structure having a multiplicity of sheets each having a repeatable pattern. At least a portion of each sheet is bonded to the web of an adjacent sheet. The porous area of at least one of the sheets is askew to the porous area of at least another of the sheets. An open-pore structure having a multiplicity of bonded sheets, each sheet having a repeatable pattern defining a multiplicity of perforations, and a plurality of apertures defined by the repeatable pattern, the apertures extending through the perforations of at least two adjacent plates.

Assembled non-random foams

A surgical implant having a datum surface for engaging tissue. Embodiments of the surgical implant include a recess in an original datum surface having a sharp undercut ovoid configuration and a multiplicity of recesses that are interconnected.
