Anterior Spinal Fusion And Fixation Cage With Integrated Plate And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2008031, Dec 18, 2008
Filed:
Jun 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/762046
Inventors:
Dennis Lee Abernathie - Columbia MO, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44, A61B 17/58, A61B 17/04
US Classification:
623 1716, 623 1711, 606301
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fixation and fusion cage with interlocking plate comprising a central cage portion and interlocking plate that rigidly attaches to the front of the cage. The cage can be varied in shape to account for various clinical necessities such as lordosis. The invention may be installed in an offset configuration so as to avoid damage to blood vessels. The device may be constructed from radiolucent material to allow for visualization of bone fusion within the cage.
Spinal Fusion Cage, Method Of Design, And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2012005, Mar 8, 2012

Ferris Michael Pfeiffer - Boonville MO, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
A fusion cage of the present invention includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and an insert portion adapted to be received therebetween, wherein the geometry of the fusion cage corresponds substantially to the geometry of a void into which the fusion cage is to be inserted. Also described is a novel tool for insertion of a fusion cage and a novel method for designing a fusion cage or other surgical implant for filling a void identified within a patient.
Spinal Fusion Cage And Method Of Use
US Patent:
7780732, Aug 24, 2010
Filed:
Mar 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/081162
Inventors:
Dennis Lee Abernathie - Columbia MO, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fusion cage comprising a first housing, a second housing, and an alignment portion adapted to be received between the first and second housings such that the first and second housings are held in place by said alignment portion. The alignment portion can be varied in shape such that the fusion cage is wedge-like in shaped, or slanted to one side. Further, the alignment portion is constructed of a radiolucent material to allow for visualization of a bone fusion within the fusion cage.
Elongateable Surgical Port And Dilator
US Patent:
7909843, Mar 22, 2011
Filed:

Assignee:
Thompson Surgical Instruments, Inc. - Traverse City MI
International Classification:
A61M 29/00, A61B 1/32, A61B 17/34
US Classification:
606191, 606198, 600233
Abstract:
A surgical port and dilator are useful for creating access to surgical sites having tortuous geometries and/or requiring relatively long and narrow access to the surgical site. The surgical port or dilator can be provided with an oblique distal end to facilitate placement and the displace tissue near angled surfaces. The surgical port can be inserted into the operative site following dilation in the same fashion as a conventional port. Once inserted, however, the surgical port may then be elongated to provide relatively long and narrow, elliptically- shaped access to the surgical site. The elongation of the port allows the surgeon access to long and narrow surgical sites, such as the spine, without having to expand radially. This reduces trauma to the patient. A locking means is also provided to hold the surgical port in the open position until a release mechanism is activated.
