Implant delivery system for securing implant to anchor
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998453B2) discloses a novel system designed for implantation in patients, particularly for replacing a portion of the articular surface. The system includes an anchor to be secured in the bone beneath the articular surface, an implant to replace the surface, and a suture for securing the anchor and implant together. An implant delivery system is also part of the invention, comprising a driver and a biasing body to facilitate the implantation process. The system aims to generate a biasing force to urge the implant into engagement with the anchor without transmitting the force to the bone, ensuring a secure and effective implantation process.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail additional features of the system, such as the inclusion of a cradle in the suture to engage the anchor, a biasing body to maintain a separation angle of the cradle, and suture alignment guides for this purpose. The driver and anchor are designed to be coupled to transmit torque, while the biasing body self-aligns with the implant during the application of the biasing force. The suture's path through the system is carefully outlined, passing through the biasing body and driver for optimal functionality. Overall, the system's design and components aim to provide a reliable and efficient method for implanting and securing implants in patients, particularly in the context of articular surface replacement surgeries.
