Assignee:

Zimmer Spine, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61F 2/44

US Classification:

623 1711

Abstract:

A spinal implant may be used to stabilize a portion of a spine. The implant may promote bone growth between adjacent vertebrae that fuses the vertebrae together. An implant may include an opening through a height of a body of the implant. The body of the implant may include curved sides. A top and/or a bottom of the implant may include protrusions that contact and/or engage vertebral surfaces to prevent backout of the implant from the disc space. A variety of instruments may be used to prepare a disc space and insert an implant. The instruments may include, but are not limited to, a distractor, a rasp, and one or more guides. The implant and instruments may be supplied in an instrument kit.

Appl. No.:

11/257745

Inventors:

Margaret Hunt - Cedar Park TX, US
Anthony Moreno - Tampa FL, US
Scott Webb - Largo FL, US

International Classification:

A61F 5/00

US Classification:

606086000

Abstract:

An instrument for use in a procedure for inserting a spinal implant between human vertebrae may include a shaft and an end member. The end member may rotate with respect to the shaft. An angle of the end member with respect to the shaft may be varied when the end member is in a disc space between the human vertebrae. The instrument may include a slide for securing the end member at selected angles relative to the shaft. The end member may be separable from the shaft when the end member is in a selected orientation with the shaft. An instrument kit may include a shaft assembly and modular end members for various steps in a surgical procedure, such as disc space preparation, disc space evaluation, and spinal implant insertion.

International Classification:

A61B 17/08
A61B 17/56

US Classification:

606151, 606301

Abstract:

A surgical implant device that controls the relative movement between a first bone or tissue portion and a second bone or tissue portion. The device has a first connector member connected for movement with the first bone or tissue portion and a second connector member connected for movement with the second bone or tissue portion. A biasing member pivotally connects the first connector member to the second connector member and resists the relative rotation between the first connector member and the second connector member.

International Classification:

A61F 2/44

US Classification:

623 1715

Abstract:

A surgical implant device for controlling the movement between a first bone or tissue portion and a second bone or tissue portion includes a first elongated member connectable for movement with the first bone or tissue portion and a second elongated member connectable for movement with the first bone or tissue portion. The first elongated member and the second elongated member are connected by a flexible joint configured to allow the first elongated member to pivot, move axially, and/or rotate relative to the second elongated member. At least one resilient member is associated with the flexible joint to resist relative movement of the first elongated member relative to the second elongated member.

Appl. No.:

14/812160

Inventors:

Scott A. WEBB - Clearwater FL, US

Assignee:

TRANSCENDENTAL SPINE, LLC - Mars PA

International Classification:

A61B 17/70

Abstract:

A modular polyaxial bone screw that incorporates a threaded screw including a head portion and a tulip assembly that selectively “snaps” and locks onto the head portion of the threaded screw in a desired orientation. Thus, the threaded screw may be placed in bone before the tulip assembly is engaged onto the head portion of the threaded screw and a rod is disposed and secured there through using a locking cap, thereby locking the tulip assembly onto the head portion of the threaded screw in the desired orientation.
