Fred Molz - Birmingham AL, US
Michael Sherman - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
606061000
Abstract:
A vertebral rod has an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis. The rod also includes a cavity extending the length of the body. Either the body or the cavity may have an asymmetrical shape about a centroid in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Alternatively, both may have the symmetrical shape about the centroid. The body of the rod may be bounded by an exterior surface and the cavity. The body has a first bending axis that is perpendicular to longitudinal axis. The body also has a second bending axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and to the first bending axis. The body of the rod may be distributed asymmetrically about the first and second bending axes. Also, the rod may have a different bending stiffness about the first and second bending axes.

Hai Trieu - Cordova TN, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
606061000
Abstract:
A spinal rod includes an elongated tubular member that is inflatable from a first insertion profile to a second enlarged profile. An expandable tubular reinforcement sleeve is concentrically positioned adjacent to the balloon. The balloon may be bonded to the sleeve. The spinal rod may also have longitudinal reinforcement members. A joining member may join two or more of the longitudinal reinforcing members at a discrete point along each. The spinal rod may further include end portions on either side of an inflatable portion.

Elongated Members With Expansion Chambers For Treating Bony Members
US Patent:
8211149, Jul 3, 2012
Filed:
May 12, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/119003
Inventors:
Jeff R. Justis - Memphis TN, US
Assignee:
Warsaw Orthopedic - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606258, 606 57, 606105, 623 1712
Abstract:
The present application is directed to devices with expandable lengths for treating bony members. The device may include an elongated member with two sections that are movable relative to each other. An expansion chamber may be positioned between the first and second sections. A pump may move fluid from a reservoir and through a conduit into the expansion chamber. The expansion chamber expands upon receiving the fluid to cause the first and second sections to move apart and increase the length of the elongated member. The device may include multiple expansion chambers along the length, and the elongated member may include multiple sections.
