| 20120095517 | DOUBLE THREADED GUIDANCE OR STIFFENING WIRE FOR MULTIPLE USE VERTEBRAL AUGMENTATION (VA) BALLOON - A catheter device that includes a double-threaded guidance wire that allows multiple use of a compliant cavity creation device (i.e., treatment of more than one level). The double-threaded guidance wire may be connected with the luer part of the device and a distal part of the balloon using a threaded engagement to avoid lengthening of the inner tube, avoid lengthening of the balloon, and to limit the plastic deformation of the system in axial direction. In other implementations, the double-threaded guidance wire may be reconnected to the distal part of the balloon with a distal thread of the double-threaded guidance wire in order to restore the nominal length. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20110202092 | Variable Angle Fixation Element System - A device for stabilizing portions of bone, comprises a plate to be coupled to a target portion of bone including a first hole extending therethrough from a proximal surface to a distal, bone-facing, surface thereof and a first rigid member received within the first hole, the rigid member sized relative to the first hole to be rotatable therewithin about an axis substantially perpendicular to a proximal-distal axis of the first hole, the first rigid member including a first bore extending therethrough from a proximal opening to a distal opening, the first bore being sized and shaped to receive a first bone fixation element to be inserted through the plate into the target portion of bone in combination with a first deformable member coupling the first rigid member to the plate. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110045087 | POROUS BIOCOMPATIBLE POLYMER MATERIAL AND METHODS - Embodiments described include devices and methods for forming a porous polymer material. Devices disclosed and formed using the methods described include a spacer for spinal fusion, craniomaxillofacial (CMF) structures, and other structures for tissue implants. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110034391 | SHAPED ARTICLE - The shaped article is obtained via a cementitious reaction of a particulate composition reactive with water, whereby said reaction is obtained between said composition and an aqueous, liquid or gaseous phase. The particles of the shaped article are present in the form of interlocked particles, whereby the interlocking of said particles is obtained in a 100% water-saturated atmosphere. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20100305704 | INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT WITH FIXATION GEOMETRY - An intervertebral spacer implant ( | 12-02-2010 |
| 20090220475 | BONE REPAIR MATERIAL - The bone repair material comprises the following components: | 09-03-2009 |
| 20080226691 | BONE CEMENT COMPOSITIONS HAVING FIBER-REINFORCEMENT AND/OR INCREASED FLOWABILITY - The present invention relates in general to implantable compositions, and method for preparing same, containing a calcium salt-containing component, optionally demineralized bone, a plurality of discrete fibers, optionally a flow additive, and optionally continuous reinforcing fibers or an array of organized fibers in the form of mesh. Advantageously, the discrete fibers have a specific aspect ratio (length/diameter) from about 50:1 to about 1000:1. The addition of a small amount of discrete fibers and/or the continuous reinforcing fibers or fiber mesh can cause drastic increases in certain mechanical properties including flexural strength, flexural toughness, and/or screw pullout strength. | 09-18-2008 |
