Implant and Filament Management Device

摘要

A variety of configurations of implant management devices are provided. The configurations provide different combinations of features for maintaining a location of an implant with respect to the device and managing filaments of the implant. One exemplary embodiment of a device includes a generally rectangular-shaped body having an implantable body retainer, an opening disposed a distance apart from the retainer and configured to receive a ligament graft therein, and a fold extending across the body and intersecting the opening. Folding one end of the body towards a bottom surface of the body along the fold can form a filament loop engaging region to hold in tension a filament loop extending from the implant. Additional filament(s) associated with the implant can be managed by various filament retention features. Methods for preparing a ligament graft for implantation by relying upon indicia formed on a surface of the device body are also provided.

主权项

1. A surgical implant management device, comprising:
a body having opposed first and second surfaces and opposed first and second ends, the body further including:
an implantable body retainer positioned between the first and second ends;a first filament receiving region at a second end of the body, the first filament receiving region including at least one feature protruding from the second end in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body, the first filament receiving region being configured to receive one or more filament loops coupled to an implantable body held by the implantable body retainer; andan opening disposed between the implantable body retainer and the first filament receiving region and extending between the first and second surfaces of the body, the opening being configured to receive a ligament graft to be coupled to one or more of the one or more filament loops; and one or more indicia formed on the first surface of the body between the implantable body retainer and the first filament receiving region, the indicia being configured for use to mark an indicator on one or more of the one or more filament loops, the indicator being indicative of a relevant depth for a surgical procedure.
