METHOD OF MAKING A BONE-REPAIR ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009373 titled 'METHOD OF MAKING A BONE-REPAIR ELEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a filter assembly for a surgical suction system. The assembly includes a containment that defines a filter chamber, an intake fitting at the upstream end of the chamber, an output fitting at the downstream end of the chamber, and a filter element made of a bioresorbable bone substitute material. The purpose of the filter element is to trap autologous tissue components carried in a fluid flowing through the filter chamber.
- The filter assembly is designed for use in a surgical suction system.
- It includes a containment that defines a filter chamber.
- An intake fitting is located at the upstream end of the chamber.
- An output fitting is located at the downstream end of the chamber.
- The filter element, made of a bioresorbable bone substitute material, is placed in the filter chamber.
- The filter element traps autologous tissue components carried in the fluid flowing through the filter chamber.
Potential Applications:
- The filter assembly can be used in surgical procedures where the removal of autologous tissue components from fluids is necessary.
- It can be used in various surgical suction systems, such as those used in orthopedic surgeries or plastic surgeries.
Problems Solved:
- The filter assembly solves the problem of effectively trapping autologous tissue components carried in fluids during surgical procedures.
- It prevents these tissue components from being lost or contaminating the surgical environment.
Benefits:
- The use of a bioresorbable bone substitute material in the filter element eliminates the need for additional removal procedures or devices.
- The filter assembly provides a convenient and efficient way to remove autologous tissue components from fluids during surgical procedures.
- It helps maintain a clean and sterile surgical environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
a filter assembly for a surgical suction system. the filter assembly has a containment defining a filter chamber an intake fitting on an upstream end of the chamber, an output fitting on an opposite downstream end of the chamber, and a filter element in the filter chamber and made at least partially of a bioresorbable bone substitute so that autologous tissue components carried in a fluid flowing from the fitting through the filter element in the filter chamber are trapped by the filter element.
