Multiplanar Bone Anchor System
US Patent:
8449578, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Nov 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/614734
Inventors:

Assignee:
EBI, LLC - Parsippany NJ
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606264, 606267, 606269, 606270, 606305
Abstract:
The present teachings provide one or more surgical implements for repairing damaged tissue, such as in the case of a spinal fixation procedure. A multiplanar bone anchor system for a fixation procedure is provided. The system can include a bone fastener. The bone fastener can include a head and a second end adapted to engage an anatomy. The bone fastener can extend along a longitudinal axis. The system can also include a coupling arrangement coupled to the head of the bone fastener so that the bone fastener is rotatable about the longitudinal axis to define a first plane of motion. The system can further include a saddle, which can be coupled to the coupling arrangement. The saddle can be movable relative to at least one of the bone fastener and the coupling arrangement to define a second plane of motion.

International Classification:
A61B 17/58
US Classification:
606061000
Abstract:
An instrument is provided for reduction of a rod or other elongated member into an implant, such as a bone screw. In one embodiment, such an instrument includes a rod adjusting assembly pivotably attached to an implant holding assembly. The implant holding assembly can be pivotably connected to an implant, and the rod adjusting assembly is operable to move a rod toward or away from the implant holding assembly. In that embodiment, several motions are possible by the instrument so that relatively small or large movements of a rod with respect to an implant may be made.

Dynamic Multi-Axial Anchor
US Patent:
2013021, Aug 22, 2013
Filed:
Feb 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/398550
Inventors:

Assignee:
WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61B 17/70, A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606278, 606279
Abstract:
A device for dynamically attaching an elongated member to a vertebral member. The device may include a receiver with a channel configured to receive an elongated member. A fastener may secure the elongated member to the receiver. The receiver may further include a reservoir sized to receive a head of an anchor. The reservoir may be shaped for movement of the receiver relative to the anchor within one plane. This movement may accommodate spinal motion during flexion and extension of the patient. One or more dampeners may be positioned in the reservoir and contact against the anchor during the movement. The dampeners may provide resistance to the movement of the patient.

International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711, 606 90, 606 99
Abstract:
An expandable medical implant for supporting skeletal structures. The medical implant having a length along its expandable dimension. The implant having a first tubular member with a connection end, an opposite skeletal interface end, and a central expansion instrument opening. Also, the implant has a second tubular member with a connection end configured to engage with the connection end of the first tubular member. The second tubular member having an opposite skeletal interface end. Additionally, an expansion instrument is insertable through the central expansion instrument opening and expandable against the first tubular member and the connection end of the second tubular member to expand the medical implant. The combined first and second tubular members are of a greater dimension along the length of the implant than the combined first and second tubular members are in any dimension perpendicular to their length.
