Insertion and extraction devices for use with the bone markers are also provided herein.
Vertebral Template Systems And Methods Of Use
US Patent:
8114138, Feb 14, 2012
Filed:
Dec 11, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/333260
Inventors:
Daniel Nehls - Tacoma WA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606281, 606102, 606280, 606914, 606915
Abstract:
Template systems and methods of use are disclosed herein for use in conjunction with corresponding spinal fusion plates.

Additionally preferred templates include windows to allow the operating surgeon to have more visibility of the intervertebral area, including the graft. After the appropriate sized template has been placed against the targeted vertebrae, holding pins can be placed into the vertebral bodies to help guide the fusion plate and to compress the intervertebral space.
Low-Profile Anterior Vertebral Plate Assemblies And Methods Of Use
US Patent:
2012006, Mar 15, 2012
Filed:
Sep 13, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/881158
Inventors:
Daniel Nehls - Tacoma WA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/88, A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606279, 606246
Abstract:
Low-profile anterior vertebral plate assemblies and methods of use are disclosed herein. The plate assemblies herein are useful for coupling adjacent vertebral bodies together. Preferred vertebral plates assemblies herein are low-profile, meaning that the assemblies herein are positioned partially within and partially outside of the intervertebral space. Additional teachings are directed to hinged low-profile anterior vertebral plate assemblies that allow slight flexion towards the vertebral bodies in a sufficient amount to prevent kyphosis, and encourage a desired amount of lordosis.
