Abstract
A bone implant for enclosing bone material is provided. The bone implant comprises a covering, which can be a biodegradable mesh. The covering is configured to be rolled into a diameter to at least partially enclose the bone material within the covering. In some embodiments, the covering also includes a closure member, the closure member configured to hold the covering in a rolled configuration to a predetermined diameter to at least partially enclose the bone material. A kit and a method of using the bone implant are also provided.
Claims17
A bone implant for enclosing a bone material, the bone implant comprising a covering, the covering comprising an interior surface opposing an exterior surface, the interior surface having a first portion enclosing bone material in a first configuration, wherein in the first configuration the covering is rolled to have a first diameter such that the covering can be rolled further to have a second diameter in the second configuration such that the first diameter is greater than the second diameter and the first portion still encloses the bone material in the second configuration, wherein the covering further comprises a first edge, the first edge having a closure member and the closure member comprises a plurality of strands configured to secure the bone material inside the covering after the covering is rolled, and the covering is configured to be adjusted to varying diameters using a sizing ring or cylinder.
A kit for making a bone implant, the kit comprising a covering, the covering comprising an interior surface opposing an exterior surface, the interior surface having a first portion enclosing bone material in a first configuration, wherein in the first configuration the covering is rolled to have a first diameter such that the covering can be rolled further to have a second diameter in the second configuration such that the first diameter is greater than the second diameter and the first portion still encloses the bone material in the second configuration;
- and at least one of (i) a plurality of sizing rings or cylinders, the sizing rings or cylinders configured to engage the bone implant to orientate the implant into the first diameter;
- or (ii) a funnel having a varied diameter, the funnel configured to load the covering with an amount of the bone material, wherein the covering further comprises a first edge, the first edge having a closure member, the closure member comprising a plurality of strands configured to secure the bone material by tying the covering, and the covering is configured to be adjusted to varying diameters using a sizing ring or cylinder.
