Abstract

Internal bone fixation devices and methods for using the devices for repairing a weakened or fractured bone are disclosed herein. A device for use in repairing a fractured bone includes a delivery catheter having an elongated shaft with a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis therebetween, wherein the delivery catheter has an inner void for passage of at least one reinforcing material and an inner lumen for passage of a light source; a conformable member releasably engaging the distal end of the delivery catheter, wherein the conformable member moves from a deflated state to an inflated state when the at least one reinforcing material is delivered to the conformable member; and an adapter releasably engaging the proximal end of the delivery catheter for receiving the light source and the at least one reinforcing material.

Claims (29)

1. A device for repairing a bone, comprising:

a conformable member configured for placement in a bone;

a delivery catheter configured to deliver a curable material to the conformable member such that an amount of inflation of the conformable member can be adjusted by altering an amount of the curable material in the conformable member;

one or more radiopaque inks on an outer surface of the conformable member, the one or more radiopaque inks being configured to provide visibility of the conformable member using fluoroscopy during inflation and adjustment of the conformable member to determine positioning of the conformable member during placement of conformable member in the bone and during the altering of the amount of curable material in the conformable member;

an optical fiber configured to deliver light into the conformable member to cure the curable material after adjustment of the conformable member, and

a water soluble glue applied to an outer surface of the conformable member, the water soluble glue being configured to act as a gripping member to grip the bone and increase a conformal bond between the conformable member and the bone.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conformable member is releasably engaged to a distal end of the delivery catheter and an inner lumen of the delivery catheter is configured to engage the conformable member to minimize thermal egress of light energy from the optical fiber to surrounding tissue from the conformable member.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the delivery catheter is configured to deliver the conformable member into a cavity of a bone.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the bone is selected from a group consisting of one of a metacarpal bone, femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, radius, metatarsals, phalanx, phalanges, ribs, spine, vertebrae or clavicle.

5. The device of claim 1 , where an inflated state of the conformable member is adjusted to orient the bone to a desired position.

6. A device for repairing a bone, comprising:

a conformable member configured for placement in a bone;

a delivery catheter configured to deliver a curable material to the conformable member such that an amount of inflation of the conformable member can be adjusted by altering an amount of the curable material in the conformable member due to a viscosity of the curable material, the viscosity of the curable material being 1000 cP or less;

one or more radiopaque inks on an outer surface of the conformable member, the one or more radiopaque inks being configured to provide visibility of the conformable member using fluoroscopy during inflation and adjustment of the conformable member to determine positioning of the conformable member during placement of conformable member in the bone and during the altering of the amount of curable material in the conformable member;

an optical fiber configured to deliver light into the conformable member to cure the curable material after adjustment of the conformable member; and

a water soluble glue applied to an outer surface of the conformable member, the water soluble glue being configured to act as a gripping member to grip the bone and increase a conformal bond between the conformable member and the bone.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the conformable member is releasably engaged to a distal end of the delivery catheter and an inner lumen of the delivery catheter is configured to engage the conformable member to minimize thermal egress of light energy from the optical fiber to surrounding tissue from the conformable member.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the delivery catheter is configured to deliver the conformable member into a cavity of a bone.

9. The device of claim 6 , wherein the bone is selected from a group consisting of one of a metacarpal bone, femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, radius, metatarsals, phalanx, phalanges, ribs, spine, vertebrae or clavicle.

10. The device of claim 6 , where an inflated state of the conformable member is adjusted to orient the bone to a desired position.

11. A kit for repairing a weakened or fractured bone, the kit comprising:

a conformable member configured for placement into a cavity of a bone;

a curable material;

a delivery catheter configured to deliver the curable material to the conformable member such that an amount of inflation of the conformable member can be adjusted by altering an amount of the curable material delivered through the delivery catheter in the conformable member;

an optical fiber configured to deliver light into the conformable member to cure the curable material after adjustment of the conformable member; and

a water soluble glue applied to an outer surface of the conformable member, the water soluble glue being configured to act as a gripping member to grip the bone and increase a conformal bond between the conformable member and the bone,

wherein the conformable member includes one or more radiopaque inks on an outer surface thereof, the one or more radiopaque inks being configured to provide visibility of the conformable member using fluoroscopy during inflation and adjustment of the conformable member to determine positioning of the conformable member in the cavity of the bone.

12. The kit of claim 11 , wherein the conformable member is releasably engaged to a distal end of the delivery catheter and an inner lumen of the delivery catheter is configured to engage the conformable member to minimize thermal egress of light energy from the optical fiber to surrounding tissue from the conformable member.

13. The kit of claim 11 , wherein the delivery catheter is configured to deliver the conformable member into a cavity of a bone.
