Delivery System for Articular Surface Implant

摘要

A implant delivery system for securing an implant to an anchor. The implant delivery system includes a driver including a shaft, a biasing body having a first end region configured to engage said driver and a second end region configured to engage a portion of an implant, and a suture extending between the anchor and the shaft of the driver. The driver may be rotated to reduce the length of the suture between the driver and the anchor and generate a biasing force urging the implant into engagement with the anchor. The biasing force is substantially not transmitted to the bone.

1. A delivery system for securing an implant with an anchor, the delivery system comprising:
a driver including a shaft, said driver configured to wind a portion of a suture, said suture configured to extend around a contact portion of said anchor disposed within a bone; and a biasing body having a first end region including a driver cradle configured to generally retain a portion of said shaft as said driver is rotated relative to said biasing body, and a second end region configured to engage a portion of said implant; wherein rotation of said driver applies a biasing force against said implant and said anchor to secure said implant with said anchor, and wherein said biasing force is substantially not transmitted to said bone.
