| 20120059421 | Polyaxial Vertebral Anchor Assembly with Vertical Adjustment and Split Lock - There is provided a polyaxial vertebral assembly. This assembly includes a polyaxial vertebral anchor and an articulating connector. The polyaxial vertebral anchor is configured to penetrate and secure to a vertebra. The articulating connector has a common trajectory split lock, which is configured to engage rigidly the polyaxial vertebral anchor in a selected pivotal configuration with respect to the polyaxial vertebral anchor and which is further configured to engage rigidly a stabilizing rod at selected configurable height and rotational configuration with respect to the polyaxial vertebral anchor. The pivotal configuration and the height and rotational configuration are independently adjustable through the common trajectory split lock. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110307062 | PRE-PACKED CORPECTOMY DEVICE TO IMPROVE FUSION - Corpectomy device comprising outer component, inner component and riser. The outer component includes a first endplate and first structure. The first structure includes a window and seat in communication with the window. The seat defines an opening to be pre-packed substantially with first grafting material. The inner component includes a second endplate and second structure at least partially disposed in the first structure in a first configuration. The second structure is to be pre-packed substantially with second grafting material. The riser has a third tubular structure to be received through the window into the seat to engage at least a portion of the second structure that extends the second structure into a second configuration with respect to the first structure. The third structure is to be pre-packed substantially with third grafting material such that first, second and third grafting material remain pre-packed substantially and in communication in the second configuration. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110282458 | IMPLANTABLE SPINAL DISK - Spinal disk including a shell, first endplate, second endplate and core. The shell includes sidewalls, back wall, front wall, top wall and bottom wall defining a compartment. The first endplate includes a first base, first top and first attachment. The first base is retained in the compartment. The first top is disposed in a first opening in the top wall forming a contact surface continuous with a surface of the top wall. The first attachment extends from the first top portion. The second endplate includes a second base, second top and second attachment. The second base is retained in the compartment. The second top is disposed in a second opening in the bottom wall forming a contact surface continuous with a surface of the bottom wall. The second attachment extends from the second top portion. The core is disposed in the compartment between the first endplate and the second endplate. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110093016 | SPINAL PLATE WITH COMPRESSION LOCKING - A spinal plate system includes a screw, spinal plate and cap. A head of the screw includes a portion of a first sphere that has a first center and a portion of a second sphere that has a second center approximately concentric with the first center. A body of the screw extends from the first sphere. The spinal plate includes an opening through the spinal plate and an associated recess in the spinal plate that is eccentric with the opening. The cap includes an alignment opening and is configured to be rotationally engaged in the recess between a first rotational configuration and a second rotational configuration. In the first rotational configuration, the body threads into a vertebra in a selected trajectory through the alignment opening and the opening in the spinal plate and the head engages at least a portion of the opening in the selected trajectory. In the second rotational configuration, the cap compresses the second sphere into the first sphere approximately through its center such that the head is compressed into the engaged portion of the opening. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20100240961 | MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL RETRACTOR WITH AN EXPANDED FIELD OF VISION - A surgical retractor includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes a ring structure and a conical outer wall. The ring structure has a first opening and defines a first plane. The outer wall forms a second opening in communication with the first opening and extends below the ring structure at an acute angle with respect to the first plane. The second component includes a top structure and conical inner wall. The top structure has a third opening and defines a second plane. The inner wall forms a fourth opening in communication with the third opening and extends below the top structure at an acute angle with respect to the second plane. The top structure of the second component is disposed at least partially inside the ring structure of the first component such that the second component is rotatably adjustable with respect to the first component. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100145458 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANTERIOR INTERVERTEBRAL SPINAL FIXATION AND FUSION - A fixation device, the device includes a housing with a leading deep surface, a trailing outer surface, weight bearing sides, and top and bottom surfaces, a shaft running from the leading deep surface to the trailing outer surface of the housing, and a plurality of blades preloaded onto the shaft in the housing, at least one first blade having at least one cutting extension in a first orientation about the axis of the shaft and at least one second blade having at least one cutting extension in a second orientation about the axis of the shaft that is opposite to the first orientation, each cutting extension having a sharp leading edge,-wherein upon clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of each blade of the plurality of blades about the axis of the shaft in a direction in which the at least one cutting extension of each blade is oriented, the at least one cutting extension of each blade will break an endplate of a vertebra, hook into the vertebra and rigidly secure the vertebra to the device to prevent separation of the vertebra from the device during spinal motion. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20090099601 | MINIMALLY INVASIVE LATERAL INTERVERTBRAL FIXATION SYSTEM, DEVICE AND METHOD - A system, device and method are disclosed for minimally invasive lateral intervertebral fixation. An intervertebral fixation device includes a weight-bearing shell configured to fit into a disk space between plural vertebrae, the weight-bearing shell including a keyway opening between and through plural sidewalls. A first plurality of anchors is rotatably disposed in a first orientation in relation to the weight-bearing shell. A second plurality of anchors is rotatably disposed in a second orientation in relation to the weight-bearing shell. A key is adapted to rotate the first plurality of anchors in divergent directions from the second plurality of anchors and to secure a first vertebra and a second vertebra, respectively. The key is further adapted to support the first plurality of anchors and the second plurality of anchors in divergent directions in relation to the weight-bearing shell, the first plurality of anchors and the second plurality of anchors secured to the first vertebra and the second vertebra. | 04-16-2009 |
