Abstract

Bone anchor implantation devices (110, 210, 310, 410, 610) and methods for their use are disclosed. The bone anchor implantation devices (110, 210, 310, 410, 610) have an ergonometric and/or rotatable handle (112, 212, 316, 416, 616). The bone anchor implantation devices (110, 210, 310, 410, 610) and methods find particular application for implanting a bone anchor for maintaining or improving urinary continence by suspending or stabilizing the bladder neck.

Claims (23)

-16- We claim:
1. A device for manually implanting a bone anchor into a bone, comprising:
a handle including a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end comprising at least one finger indentation;
a shaft including a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to said distal end of said handle; and a bone anchor-mount for releasably engaging said bone anchor, said bone anchor-mount being connected to said second end of said shaft and oriented toward said handle so that said bone anchor may be implanted into the bone by manually applying a retrograde force to said handle.
2. A device for manually implanting a bone anchor into a bone, comprising:
a handle including a proximal end and a distal end;
a shaft including a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to said distal end of said handle; and a bone anchor-mount for releasably engaging said bone anchor, said bone anchor-mount connected to said second end of said shaft and oriented toward said handle so that said bone anchor coupled to a suture may be implanted into the bone by manually applying a retrograde force to said handle, wherein the handle is rotatable relative to the shaft.
3. The device of claim 1, wherein the handle comprises at least two finger indentation at its distal end.
4. The device of claim 2, wherein the handle comprises at least one finger indentation at its distal end.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein the handle is rotatable between a first and a second angular position, and further comprising a stop assembly for locking the handle in the first or the second position.
6. The device of claim 2, wherein the handle is rotatable between a first and a second angular position, and further comprising a stop assembly for locking the handle in the first or the second position.
7. The device of claim 5 or 6, wherein the stop assembly comprises:

an outer cylinder fixedly associated with the handle and aligned with the shaft, the outer cylinder comprising a circumferential slit having at least two angularly displaced detents;
a plug rotatably disposed within the outer cylinder, the plug being fixedly associated with the shaft and comprising a drive pin extending radially therefrom, the drive pin having at least one end received within the outer-cylinder slit and seatable within any of the detents, seating of the drive pin within a detent preventing rotation of the outer cylinder with respect to the inner cylinder; and a spring disposed within the outer cylinder and urging the plug toward the bone anchor-mount, compression of the spring releasing at least one drive-pin end from the detent and permitting rotation of the handle.
8. The device of claim 7, wherein the detents are diametrically opposed and, after 180° of rotation following release of at least one drive-pin end from one of the detents, at least one drive-pin end is once again seatable within a detent.
9. The device of claim 8, wherein one drive-pin end is seatable within a detent.
10. The device of claim 8, wherein two drive-pin ends are seatable within two detents.
11. The device of claim 1, wherein the shaft is bent.
12. The device of claim 2, wherein the shaft is bent.
13. A method for manually implanting a bone anchor into a bone, comprising the steps of:
inserting into a body cavity a device comprising a handle including a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end comprising at least two finger indentations; a shaft including a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to said distal end of said handle; and a bone anchor-mount for releasably engaging said bone anchor, locating an implantation site for the bone anchor; and applying a retrograde force to said handle, thereby implanting the bone anchor and releasing the bone anchor from the device.
14. A method for manually implanting a bone anchor into a bone, comprising the steps of inserting into a body cavity a device comprising a handle including a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end comprising at least two finger indentations; a shaft including a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to said distal end of said handle; and a bone anchor-mount for releasably engaging said bone anchor, locating an implantation site for the bone anchor;
rotating the handle relative to the shaft; and applying a retrograde force to said handle, thereby implanting the bone anchor.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the handle is rotated to a second position.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the second position is 180° from the first position.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein the second position is less than 180° from the first position.
18. The method of claim 15, wherein the second position is more than 180° from the first position.
19. The method of claim 14, wherein the handle is in a first position for insertion of the device into a body cavity and is rotated to a second position for implanting the bone anchor. 20.
A method for manually implanting a bone anchor into a bone, comprising the steps of:

inserting into a body cavity a device comprising a handle including a proximal end and a distal end; a shaft including a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to said distal end of said handle; and a bone anchor-mount for releasably engaging said bone anchor, locating an implantation site for the bone anchor;
rotating the handle relative to the shaft; and applying a retrograde force to said handle, thereby implanting the bone anchor.
21. The method of claim 20, wherein the handle is rotated to a second position.
22. The method of claim 21, wherein the second position is 180° from the first position.
23. The method of claim 20, wherein the handle is in a first position for insertion of the device into a body cavity and is rotated to a second position for implanting the bone anchor.
