SUTURE ANCHOR CONSTRUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023954 titled 'SUTURE ANCHOR CONSTRUCT

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application relates to knotless suture anchor constructs and their methods of use. These constructs consist of a bone anchor and a suture. The bone anchor includes a suture anchoring member, a cavity, and a longitudinal passage. The suture anchoring member is located within the cavity, and the longitudinal passage extends from the trailing end of the bone anchor to the cavity. The suture is coupled to the suture anchoring member and includes a tensioning portion, a repair portion, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion forms a suture loop that extends along the longitudinal passage.

  • The patent application describes knotless suture anchor constructs that simplify the process of suturing in medical procedures.
  • The constructs consist of a bone anchor and a suture, where the bone anchor has a suture anchoring member and a cavity.
  • The suture is coupled to the suture anchoring member and forms a loop along the longitudinal passage of the bone anchor.
  • This innovation eliminates the need for tying knots in sutures, making the procedure faster and more efficient.
  • The knotless suture anchor constructs can be used in various medical procedures, such as orthopedic surgeries and soft tissue repairs.

Potential Applications

  • Orthopedic surgeries
  • Soft tissue repairs
  • Sports medicine procedures
  • Arthroscopic surgeries

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the suturing process by eliminating the need for tying knots
  • Reduces the risk of knot slippage or failure
  • Saves time during surgical procedures
  • Provides a secure and reliable method of suturing

Benefits

  • Faster and more efficient suturing process
  • Improved reliability and security of sutures
  • Reduced risk of complications due to knot slippage
  • Enhanced patient outcomes and recovery time


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosure herein are knotless suture anchor constructs and methods of use thereof. the suture anchor constructs can include a bone anchor and a suture. the bone anchor can include a suture anchoring member and can define a cavity and a longitudinal passage extending from a trailing end of the bone anchor at least partially therethrough to the cavity. the suture anchoring member can be located in the cavity. the suture can be coupled to the suture anchoring member and can include a tensioning portion, a repair portion, and an intermediate portion. the intermediate portion can form a suture loop extending along the longitudinal passage.
