Disclosed is a device for implantation into a bone void while minimising the potential for an increase in pressure within the bone void.

Device to fill a bone void whilst minimising pressurisation

Disclosed is an invention that provides a method of treating a bone void of a patient through the use of an implantable device whilst minimising the potential for an increase in pressure within the bone void thus avoiding embolization of the void contents into the patient's bloodstream.

Method to introduce an implantable device to fill a bone void whilst minimising pressurisation

A means to prepare bone cement pellets comprising bone cement paste which hardens through hydration a flexible mold mat having pellet cavities on both sides and a scraper for pasting the bone cement paste in to the pellet cavities where the paste is allowed to harden.

Mould mat for producing bone cement pellets

A biodegradable material for use in making items usable in surgery and related fields of medicine. The material comprising a bioabsorbable thermoplastic polymer component and a bioactive filler material. In components made of the material particles of the filler material occur embedded within the surface of the components.

Biodegradable material components

A suture anchor assembly with an anchor and a driver locatable in an axial longitudinal opening in the anchor. A suture is provided extending through the opening and outside of the anchor at its distal end, and passing proximally along longitudinal grooves on the outside of the anchor. A recess is provided in the longitudinal opening of the suture body and a groove formation is provided in the drive part of the driver to locate the suture therein.
