SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORT AND TISSUE DISTRACTION

Abstract: a transport device for increasing biological activity within a patient includes a base including a first end, a second end, an upper surface located between the first end and the second end, and a lower surface located between the first end and the second end, a base anchor configured to statically couple the base to a first portion of a bone of a subject, a translatable anchor configured to engage a growth stimulator, a leadscrew dynamically coupling the base to the translatable anchor, wherein the leadscrew is configured to rotate about a leadscrew axis while substantially maintaining its longitudinal position along the leadscrew axis in relation to the base, such that the growth stimulator, when engaged with the translatable anchor, is capable of independent movement in relation to the base along a stimulation axis that includes at least some transverse displacement with respect to the bone when the base is coupled to the bone via the base anchor, and a screw drive rotatably coupled to the leadscrew and configured to couple to a rotatable mating tool that is configured to rotate the leadscrew via the screw drive.
