Method And Device For Placing Materials In The Spine

US Patent:
8292931, Oct 23, 2012
Filed:
Jan 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/006699
Inventors:
Leonard Edward Forrest - Mount Pleasant SC, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606279
Abstract:
A device and method for removing tissue, and if required, other undesired materials from an intervertebral disc or vertebral body. An elongated arcuate, and preferably S-shaped tool is used to progressively remove material from the interior of the mammalian intervertebral disc or vertebral body. A sheath introduces the elongated tool by a posterior, postero-lateral or lateral approach. The shape of the elongated tool is formed within a guide or lumen of the sheath for transportation through the sheath. The elongated tool assumes its predetermined arcuate shape when no pressure or force is applied to the tool by the sheath as the elongated tool exits the sheath. The device and method allow positioning of new material in the intervertebral disc and/or vertebral body. The new material may be tissue, therapeutic agents, mechanical devices such as spacers, or agents that will fuse vertebral bodies.

Method And Device For Treatment Of The Spine

US Patent:
8257311, Sep 4, 2012
Filed:
Nov 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/949997
Inventors:
Leonard Edward Forrest - Mount Pleasant SC, US
International Classification:
A61M 5/178
US Classification:
60416401, 60416411, 60416412
Abstract:
A device and method of positioning materials in a spine using an arcuate tool and introducer. Materials may be positioned as desired, such as against an inner annular wall of an intervertebral disc or vertebral body. The arcuate tool retains its predetermined arcuate shape when no pressure or force is applied to the tool, and is positioned by manipulating the tool relative to an introducer and the spine, with the introducer manipulated relative to the spine.

Method For Treatment Or Evacuation Of Intervertebral Disc

US Patent:
8523820, Sep 3, 2013
Filed:
Sep 7, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/606559
Inventors:
Leonard Edward Forrest - Mount Pleasant SC, US
International Classification:
A61M 5/178
US Classification:
60416411
Abstract:
A method of positioning an S-shaped tool against inner annular walls of the disc that particularly facilitates reaching posterior and postero-lateral portions of the inner annulus of the disc by arthroscopy. An elongated, arcuate and S-shaped tool such as a catheter is positioned against the inner annular wall of the disc, and particularly on the posterior and postero-lateral portions of the inner annulus of the disc, which are portions of the disc to be treated. The deformable, arcuate and S-shaped tool retains its predetermined arcuate, S-shape when no pressure or force is applied to the tool.
