ORTHOPEDIC TETHERED IMPLANTS AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023996 titled 'ORTHOPEDIC TETHERED IMPLANTS AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a clamp assembly for orthopedic use, which includes a housing with a top surface, a recess, a distal base, and a bottom surface. The recess extends through the housing from the top surface to the distal base and has a longitudinal axis. The housing also has at least two through slots on the bottom or side surfaces. The assembly includes a securement assembly that can be positioned within the recess in a co-axial relationship to a mating surface on the recess. Additionally, there is a band that can travel along a predetermined path defined by the through slots in the housing, with at least one of the through slots serving as a starting point for the band's travel along the path.

  • The clamp assembly is designed for orthopedic use.
  • It includes a housing with a recess and through slots.
  • The recess extends through the housing from the top surface to the distal base.
  • The assembly includes a securement assembly that can be positioned within the recess.
  • The securement assembly is co-axially related to a mating surface on the recess.
  • The assembly also includes a band that can travel along a predetermined path defined by the through slots.
  • At least one of the through slots serves as a starting point for the band's travel along the path.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Orthopedic surgeries and procedures where clamping is required.
  • Use in medical devices and instruments for securing and stabilizing bone fragments or implants.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a secure and adjustable clamping mechanism for orthopedic use.
  • Allows for precise positioning and alignment of bone fragments or implants.
  • Facilitates the stabilization and fixation of bones during surgical procedures.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and control during orthopedic surgeries.
  • Enhanced stability and support for bone fragments or implants.
  • Simplified and efficient clamping process.
  • Adjustable and customizable clamping mechanism.


Original Abstract Submitted

a clamp assembly for orthopedic use having a housing that includes a top surface, a recess, a distal base and a bottom surface, the recess defining a longitudinal axis and extending through the housing from the top surface through the distal base and toward the bottom surface, and at least two through slots, each one of being disposed at a bottom or a side a surface of the housing. the assembly including a securement assembly positionable within the recess in a co-axial relationship to a mating surface on the recess, and a band sized for travel along a predetermined path defined in part by the through slots in the housing, wherein at least one of the through slots is a starting point for travel of the band along the predetermined path.
