Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for providing a novel delivery system for implantation in a patient. Further, this disclosure describes a delivery system including a carrier that is made of at least one monolithic bone tissue for retaining one or more substances.
Claims37
A delivery system comprising:
- a carrier, wherein the carrier is at least one sheet of monolithic bone tissue;
- and
- at least one substance retained within the carrier;
- wherein the carrier retains the at least one substance for implantation in a patient.
1 more element
A kit for the treatment of a bone fracture or defect, comprising:
- at least one sheet of monolithic bone tissue;
- at least one substance;
- and
- a seal mechanism,
- wherein the at least one sheet of monolithic bone tissue is configured to receive the at least one substance, and
- wherein the seal mechanism is designed to seal the at least one sheet of monolithic bone tissue to form a compartment for retaining the at least one substance.
3 more elements
A method for treating a bone fracture or defect, comprising:
- surgically placing a delivery system comprising a carrier and at least one substance retained in the carrier at the site of a bone fracture or defect;
- wherein the carrier is at least one sheet of monolithic bone tissue;
- and
- wherein the at least one substance is a bone grafting material.
1 more element
A method for forming a delivery system, comprising:
- forming a pocket in at least one sheet of monolithic bone tissue;
- inserting at least one substance in the pocket;
- sealing the pocket to form a carrier retaining the at least one substance.
A delivery system comprising:
- a carrier, the carrier including:
- a demineralized cancellous bone block with a created cavity having an opening, and
- an allograft derived plug, wherein the plug seals the opening of the cavity to form a compartment;
- and
- at least one substance for promoting bone growth retained within the compartment of the carrier,
- wherein the carrier retains the at least one substance for implantation in a patient.
3 more elements
A method for forming a delivery system, comprising:
- forming a cavity in a demineralized cancellous bone block, wherein the cavity has an opening;
- inserting at least one substance in the cavity through the opening;
- sealing the opening of the cavity with an allograft derived plug to form a carrier retaining the at least one substance.
A kit for forming a carrier, comprising:
- a demineralized cancellous bone block with a created cavity having an opening;
- and
- an allograft derived plug, wherein the plug is configured to be inserted into the opening of the cavity to seal the cavity to form a compartment.
