DEVICE AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION OF BIOINDUCTIVE IMPLANT PATCH IN ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY

Abstract: a novel device for bioinductive implant placement in an in vivo surgical site, and method of use thereof, is disclosed. sequential actuation of a series of levers (or other actuation means) operates to allow for expansion or splaying of a bioinductive implant patch, such as a patch comprised of collagen fibers, over an in vivo surgical site such as a torn tendon in a shoulder rotator cuff. with the patch expanded, it may be surgically fixed in place and provide for more efficient and thorough healing and repair of the tendon.
