| 20110190597 | INTERVERTEBRAL DISC ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention pertains to an analysis device for measuring physical, chemical and/or biological parameters in an intervertebral disc. It comprises a probe adapted to be inserted in the intervertebral disc; the probe including at its distal end at least three different sensors. The intervertebral disc analysis system and method is useful for measuring physical, chemical and/or biochemical parameters in the intervertebral disc, the data generated by these sensors providing an effigy of the physiological status of the intervertebral disc. The invention further pertains to a method for obtaining physical, chemical and/or biological data of the intervertebral disc, the data being useful for matters in relation to diseases of the intervertebral disc, in particularly for diagnostics and therapies of diseases of the intervertebral disc. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20100331988 | Instruments and Method For Inserting An Intervertebral Implant - Instruments and methods for inserting an intervertebral implant. Insertion of the implant is accomplished by grasping the implant between the arms of an insertion instrument having arms which separate from each other and close against each other onto the implant, such that the ends of the arms of the insertion instrument engage recesses of the implant. A spacer may be provided between the arms of the insertion instrument to help position the implant while held by the arms. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110282397 | Ankle Fusion Device, Instrumentation and Methods - An ankle fusion device has a proximal portion generally aligned with a first longitudinal axis. The proximal portion includes a proximal end and a first fastener hole. The proximal portion has an arcuate curve such that the proximal end is spaced a distance from the first longitudinal axis in a first direction. The first fastener hole is configured to receive a first fastener along a first fastener axis. A distal portion of the ankle fusion device extends to a distal end from the proximal portion along a second longitudinal axis. The second longitudinal axis is angled in second and third directions relative to the first longitudinal axis. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the third direction being opposite the first direction. The distal portion includes a second fastener hole configured to receive a second fastener along a second fastener axis. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20110166658 | SPINAL IMPLANT WITH ATTACHMENT SYSTEM - The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a spinal implant assembly having features to prevent or minimize fixation elements, such as screws, from being dislodged, or from backing out over time and with use. The spinal implant assembly may comprise an implantable body having first apertures for receiving fixation elements. A plate configured to nest against the posterior portion of the implantable body and comprising one or more second apertures can be provided. These second apertures permit access to the head portions of the fixation elements. One or more locking elements are then passed through the second apertures and engage the head portions of the fixation elements. In addition, the plate may comprise an adjustable arm to allow the plate to be used with implantable bodies of different size. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100094267 | Confined Beam Laser Liposuction Handpiece - A cannula for a liposuction device includes a laser energy source for liquefying, emulsifying or softening fatty tissue at the cutting windows inside the distal tip end of the cannula. The energy source provides laser energy through an optical fiber positioned within said interior region of the cannula and extending though the cannula and having an end located at the distal tip end of the cannula adjacent the cutting windows. Fat is emulsified, liquefied or softened by the energy emitted into tissue at the cutting windows of the cannula and is removed by aspiration. In a confined laser beam power assisted embodiment, the openings in the cannula shear or cut neighboring fat tissue and the radiant energy at the cutting windows softens and/or emulsifies the tissue. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110040287 | SURGICAL LIPOSUCTION INSTRUMENT WITH RADIANT ENERGY SOURCE - A cannula for a liposuction device includes an energy source for liquefying, emulsifying or softening fatty tissue near a tip end. The energy source can provide laser energy through a fiber optic cable, or can provide energy such as RF, ultrasound or IR/UV/Vis energy from a laser diode or the like. Fat is emulsified, liquefied or softened by the energy emitted from the cannula and is removed by aspiration through a series of holes disposed in the outside wall and at the distal end of the cannula. In a power assisted embodiment, the openings in the cannula shear or cut neighboring fat tissue. The tip of the cannula can be heated to promote skin tightening. | 02-17-2011 |
