Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An implant delivery system for delivering a sheet-like implant is disclosed. The implant delivery system includes a distal guidewire port for receiving the proximal end of guidewire after the guidewire distal end has been affixed to a first point on bone or other tissue. The implant delivery system is tracked over the guidewire to a selected position defined by the guidewire attachment. The device includes an implant spreader assembly disposed proximate the distal end of a delivery shaft. The implant spreader assembly includes a first arm and a second arm. The arms are coupled to the delivery shaft such that the first arm and second arm are moveable between a closed position and an open position. When pivoting to the open position the distal end of each arm travels in a generally transverse direction to spread a sheet-like implant.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of accurately positioning a sheet-like implant over a treatment site during arthroscopic surgery comprising the steps of: observing and measuring the treatment site to determine a preferred location for the sheet-like implant to be delivered; identifying a guidewire attachment point proximate the treatment site that is a known lateral and longitudinal distance from the preferred location for the sheet-like implant to be delivered; fixing a distal end…
