International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for use in spinal fusion procedures. An interbody fusion device has a first piece that is a load bearing device designed to bear the axial loading from the end plates of adjacent vertebrae. A second piece of the interbody fusion device is a retention device whose function is to prevent migration of the load bearing device. One or more fasteners secure the retention device to the vertebrae above and below the load bearing device. The fasteners cause the end plates of the vertebrae to compress the end plates to the load bearing device to facilitate proper fusion.

623 1711, 606246
Abstract:
A medical device comprising a non-enclosed housing configured to fit between two adjacent vertebrae; one or more housing fasteners extending at least partially through the housing, one or more driving mechanisms operationally positioned in relationship to at least one housing fastener, such that activation of at least one driving mechanism engages and drives at least one housing fastener to compress into at least one adjacent vertebrae and one or more plates removably coupled to the housing.

International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for use in spinal fusion procedures. An exemplary interbody fusion device includes a synthetic non-metallic radiolucent interbody spacer having an opening formed between its top and bottom surfaces. A cancellous allograft plug is configured to be disposed within the opening formed in the spacer. The cancellous allograft plug can be reconstituted with a material that will help to facilitate fusion of the vertebrae.

International Classification:
C12M 1/00 C12N 5/0775 C12M 1/12
US Classification:
435379, 4352831
Abstract:
A lipoaspirate collection device to aid in the collection and processing of human tissue and fluid obtained during liposuction for use in point-of-care cell therapy. The collection device includes a collection body and a collection cap. The collection cap may have a fluid port, a lipoaspirate port, a vacuum port, and a relief valve. Within the central cavity of the collection device, a cone shaped may be positioned such that the apex of the cone is positioned underneath the lipoaspirate inlet through which the lipoaspirate fluid and tissue are introduced.

Interbody Fusion Device With Separable Retention Component For Lateral Approach And Associated Methods
Kevin Dunworth - Austin TX, US Ryan Medema - Pflugerville TX, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
The claimed invention is directed to a spinal fusion device comprising a load-bearing interbody component configured to fit between two adjacent vertebrae, wherein the interbody component comprises one or more openings to allow access to the vertebrae, a retention component that is configured to at least partially close the one or more openings of the interbody component and one or more fasteners that are coupled to the retention component to compress the two adjacent vertebrae to the interbody component, and methods of using a spinal fusion device.
The invention is directed to an interbody fusion device comprises a fusion bearing device and a retention device and further comprises two bone screws that pass through the retention device and into the vertebral bodies. When implanted, the construct is flush with the anterior face of the vertebras and provides support and temporary fixation for the ultimate fusion of the vertebral bodies.
The stem cells very quickly affect the inflammation and then theyre like a factory where they will regenerate right at the site, said Kevin Dunworth, founder and CEO of SpineSmith in Austin, Texas.
