20110046682 | EXPANDABLE FIXATION ASSEMBLIES - Expandable fixation assemblies, expandable cranial fixation assemblies, and expandable intervertebral implant assemblies are provided for securing structures to bone and for securing bones and/or bone segments with respect to each other. An expansion member can be moved through at least a portion of an expandable fixation body, thereby causing expansion of the expandable fixation body, such that bone engagement features of the expandable fixation body engage surrounding structure, such as bone. | 02-24-2011 |
20140277174 | MANDIBULAR BONE PLATE SYSTEMS - A mandibular bone plate can include a body that defines a bone facing surface, an outer surface that is opposite the bone facing surface, and a plurality of bone anchor holes that extend through the body from the bone facing surface to the outer surface. The body can include a chin portion and first and second extension portions that extend from the chin portion such that the bone facing surface of the chin portion faces the inferior surface of the mandible when the mandibular bone plate is attached to the mandible and the bone facing surfaces of the first and second extension portions at least partially face the lingual surface of the mandible when the mandibular bone plate is attached to the mandible. | 09-18-2014 |

20080249532 | Securing device to secure fixation devices to bone portions - The present invention discloses a securing device that is used to secure a fixation device to two bone portions to promote healing between the two bone portions. The bone portions commonly include a skull bone portion and a skull bone flap or implant, and the fixation device is commonly a cranial clamp. The securing device provides for securing the fixation device in a uniform, single movement as opposed to currently available products. The securing device has two handles pivotably connected, and a gripping means moveably associated with one handle. As the handles are activated, the gripping means travels proximally along the one handle and grips an elongated section of the fixation device and exerts a tensioning force along the shaft of the elongated section prior to the cutting means cutting the elongated shaft to secure the fixation device in place. | 10-09-2008 |

20130274750 | SURGICAL DRILL BITS - A surgical drill bit can include a body portion that defines a central axis that extends along a first direction. The body portion can be separated along the first direction into a distal cutting segment, and a guiding segment. The body portion can include a helical flute that winds about the central axis. The helical flute can define a first outer profile along the cutting segment and a second outer profile along the guiding segment, the first outer profile has a first leading edge and a first bearing surface and the second outer profile has a second leading edge and a second bearing surface. The first leading edge can be configured to cut into bone and can be spaced from the central axis by a first length. The second leading edge can be spaced from the central axis by a second length that is less than the first length. | 10-17-2013 |
