Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080243128 | Surgical Instruments And Method Of Using Same - The present invention relates to surgical instruments particularly suitable for preparing vertebral endplates during spinal interbody surgical procedures. Methods of using such instruments are also disclosed. | 10-02-2008 |
20080243130 | Device for the delivery of viscous compositions - Devices and kits, and methods of their use, for the delivery of viscous compositions are described. | 10-02-2008 |
20080262623 | Composite interbody spinal implant having openings of predetermined size and shape - An interbody spinal implant including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing lateral sides, opposing anterior and posterior portions, a substantially hollow center, and a single vertical aperture. The single vertical aperture extends from the top surface to the bottom surface, has a size and shape predetermined to maximize the surface area of the top surface and the bottom surface available proximate the anterior and posterior portions while maximizing both radiographic visualization and access to the substantially hollow center, and defines a transverse rim. The body may be non-metallic and may form one component of a composite implant; the other component is a metal plate disposed on at least one of the top and bottom surfaces of the body. | 10-23-2008 |
20090157182 | Bone Restorative Carrier Mediums - Biocompatible bone graft material having a biocompatible, resorbable polymer and a biocompatible, resorbable inorganic material exhibiting macro, meso, and microporosities. | 06-18-2009 |
20100076559 | Composite telescoping anterior interbody spinal implant - A composite telescoping interbody spinal implant and method of using the implant. The implant includes a cage formed of metal, a metal alloy, or both. The cage is able to change size following manufacture, and has a top plate with a plurality of posts and a bottom plate with a corresponding plurality of columns. The posts telescopically engage the columns upon assembly of the top plate with the bottom plate. The posts extend partially outside the columns when the top plate is in a raised first position with respect to the bottom plate; the posts and columns are fully engaged when the top plate is in a second position closest to the bottom plate. The implant also includes a non-metallic body inserted between the top plate and the bottom plate and defining the adjustable height of the implant. | 03-25-2010 |
20100234799 | DELIVERY OF MULTICOMPONENT COMPOSITIONS - The invention relates to devices and kits for the controlled delivery of viscous, multi component compositions. | 09-16-2010 |
20110224672 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND METHOD OF USING SAME - The present invention relates to surgical instruments particularly suitable for preparing vertebral endplates during spinal inter-body surgical procedures. Methods of using such instruments are also disclosed. | 09-15-2011 |
20120303129 | COMPOSITE INTERBODY SPINAL IMPLANT HAVING OPENINGS OF PREDETERMINED SIZE AND SHAPE - An interbody spinal implant including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing lateral sides, opposing anterior and posterior portions, a substantially hollow center, and a single vertical aperture. The single vertical aperture extends from the top surface to the bottom surface, has a size and shape predetermined to maximize the surface area of the top surface and the bottom surface available proximate the anterior and posterior portions while maximizing both radiographic visualization and access to the substantially hollow center, and defines a transverse rim. The body may be non-metallic and may form one component of a composite implant; the other component is a metal plate disposed on at least one of the top and bottom surfaces of the body. | 11-29-2012 |
20130338777 | INTERBODY SPINAL IMPLANT HAVNG A ROUGHENED SURFACE TOPOGRAPHY - An interbody spinal implant including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing lateral sides, opposing anterior and posterior portions, a substantially hollow center, and a single vertical aperture. The single vertical aperture extends from the top surface to the bottom surface, has a size and shape predetermined to maximize the surface area of the top surface and the bottom surface available proximate the anterior and posterior portions while maximizing both radiographic visualization and access to the substantially hollow center, and defines a transverse rim. The body may be non-metallic and may form one component of a composite implant; the other component is a metal plate disposed on at least one of the top and bottom surfaces of the body. | 12-19-2013 |
20140350682 | Interbody Spinal Implant Having a Roughened Surface Topography - An interbody spinal implant including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing lateral sides, opposing anterior and posterior portions, a substantially hollow center, and a single vertical aperture. The single vertical aperture extends from the top surface to the bottom surface, has a size and shape predetermined to maximize the surface area of the top surface and the bottom surface available proximate the anterior and posterior portions while maximizing both radiographic visualization and access to the substantially hollow center, and defines a transverse rim. The body may be non-metallic and may form one component of a composite implant; the other component is a metal plate disposed on at least one of the top and bottom surfaces of the body. | 11-27-2014 |
