Abstract
The devices, systems, and methods herein described provide uniform biomaterial delivery to produce robust adhesion between an implant (e.g., an implantable screw) and a bone tissue. Furthermore, the devices, systems, and methods of the disclosure overcome challenges associated with the repair of weak or deficient bone and augmentation using injected biomaterials.
Claims47
A device comprising a unitary body comprising from a proximal end to a distal end:
- a proximal region, a central region, and a distal region, wherein the central region joins the proximal region to the distal region, and wherein:
- a) the device comprises an internal channel extending longitudinally through the proximal, central, and distal regions;
- b) the proximal region comprises an opening to the internal channel and a plurality of circumferentially disposed and compressible wings;
- c) the central region comprises an internal or external thread and a compressible body configured to radially compress during insertion and to return to an uncompressed state upon removal of the radial pressure;
- and
- d) the distal region comprises an opening to the internal channel and internal threads.
