Adapter Couples Self-Retaining Surgical Retractor with Hand-Held Retractors
​An adapter that expedites bone surgery by making hand-held retractors self-retaining. Background: Orthopedic surgeons require unfettered access to exposed bone. That means keeping the skin, subcutaneous fat, tissues, and muscles out of the way with retractors. Currently, there are two common types of retractors for this purpose—self-retaining...

Regenerative Therapy for Cartilage Damage
The subject technology discloses a tissue engineering method for treating cartilage damage. Stem cells from bone marrow are attached to a novel scaffold, hyaluronic acid-coated fibrin microbeads, and transferred to a live host to form cartilage. The regenerated cartilage is stable and not hypertrophic, which has been problematic in the current regenerative...

Transgenic Mice with Conditionally-Enhanced Bone Morphogen Protein (BMP) Signaling: A Model for Human Bone Diseases
This technology relates to novel animal models of several human bone diseases that have been linked to enhanced BMP signaling. More specifically, this mouse model expresses a mutant receptor for BMP, known as Alk2 that is always actively signaling. This receptor is under the control of the Cre-loxP system, which allows control of expression of the...

A Wide-Open 3-Legged Parallel Robot to Improve Musculoskeletal Surgeries
BackgroundMusculoskeletal disorders are second most common cause of disability and globally afflict more than 100 million people per year. Current treatments, although effective, often result in unwanted side effects including X-ray exposure, nonunion of bone and poor healing. Robotic manipulation of bone to improve surgical accuracy is a newly emerging...

A Novel Process to Coat Implant Surfaces with Bi-Functional Bioactive Antibacterial Coatings
Project ID: D2017-07Background In the orthopedic field, there is a need for improved capabilities for creating strong osseointegration at bone-implant interfaces and treating bacterial infections. Implant-related infections occur in 0.75% in hip implants and 1.5% in knee implants resulting in reduced lifespan and increased failure rate of prosthesis,...
