| 20110224740 | Implantation Tools for Interspinous Process Spacing Device - Various embodiments described herein provide devices and associated methods for treating spinal disease by implanting one or more interspinous process spacing devices. In one embodiment, an interspinous process spacing device includes a first attachment side and a second attachment side, whereby each attachment side includes one or more slots formed in the outer surface and oriented proximate one end for receiving fasteners extending inwardly from a second interspinous process spacing device. The device further includes a spacer tray positioned between the first attachment side and the second attachment side, the spacer tray extending from the first attachment side and slideably insertable through a tray slot formed in the second attachment side, wherein the spacer tray is adapted to retain adjacent spinous processes in a spaced apart orientation. The device further includes securing means for securing the second attachment side relative to the first attachment side, wherein, upon securing the second attachment side relative to the first attachment side, the interspinous process spacing device is engaged with the adjacent spinous processes. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20100049252 | Transverse Connector Device for Extending an Existing Spinal Fixation System - An extension rod device is provided for extending an existing spinal fixation system. The device can engage with implanted spinal fixation elements and house extension spinal rods that expand the fixation system to adjacent vertebrae. According to various embodiments, an extension rod device may include one or more extension spinal rods attachable to a transverse connector that is secured between an existing, implanted spinal fixation system. The extension rod device may attach to an existing transverse connector, already implanted with the existing spinal fixation system, or the extension rod device may include a new transverse connector, also for securing to the existing spinal fixation system. | 02-25-2010 |
