Abstract:
A surgical gouge for clearing bone and soft tissue from around a previously implanted rod during a surgical operation. The gouge includes an elongate handle with a distally positioned cutting member at one end. The cutting member has a rod capture arm with an arcuate surface generally conforming to the cylindrical shape of the rod. The cutting member further having a curved leading cutting blade extending over and about the rod capture arm. The curved leading cutting blade configured so as to create a trough between the inside surface of the curved leading cutting blade and the rod capture arm to capture any cut bone and/or soft tissue from around the rod as the gouge is rotated about the rod. The curved cutting blade having a distal end sharpened at its distal edge to enable the user to cut away bone and soft tissue from around the rod. It may also be desirable for the distal end to have sharpened side edges to assist in cutting away the bone and soft tissue that have built up about the rod.

US Classification:
623 1716, 606 90, 606 99
Abstract:
Methods and devices for spacing vertebral members using modular intervertebral devices and insertion tools. The devices may include opposing first and second endplates, and an intermediate member configured to fit between and support the endplates. The insertion tool may include an elongated handle and a distracter. A method of inserting the device using the tool may include inserting the endplates positioned on opposing sides of the handle into the intervertebral space and positioning the endplates in the intervertebral space relative to first and second vertebral members. The method may include deploying the distracter and increasing a distance between the endplates. Another step may include inserting the intermediate member into the intervertebral space and between the endplates and supporting the endplates with the intermediate member. The insertion tool may then be removed from the intervertebral space.
