System And Methods For Inserting A Vertebral Spacer
US Patent:
2011007, Mar 24, 2011
Filed:
Jun 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/826776
Inventors:
Nabil L. Muhanna - Gainesville GA, US
David L. Schalliol - Oakwood GA, US
David L. Schalliol - Oakwood GA, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
The present invention provides vertebral spacers having a lower surface and an upper surface, an anterior face and a posterior face extending from the lower surface, and at least one guiding groove for engaging an insertion tool. A system for delivering a vertebral spacer to the spinal column of a patient, includes an insertion tool, an optional guiding tool, a pusher, a vertebral spacer, and a cutting tool. The insertion tool accepts any of a pusher, a vertebral spacer, or a cutting tool and has at least one spacer guide for engaging with a guiding groove of a vertebral spacer. The vertebral spacer is inserted into a patient by inserting the insertion tool into an intervertebral space, engaging the guiding groove of a vertebral spacer with a space guide of the insertion tool, advancing a pusher into the insertion tool, thereby pushing the vertebral spacer into the intervertebral space and thereafter removing the pusher and the insertion tool. The cutting tool is optionally used to chisel at least one vertebral space receiving slot in the vertebrae. A hardening biocompatible composition also maybe delivered, to bond the vertebral spacer to an adjacent vertebra or be an osteogenic composition to promote bone growth.

Vertebral Spacer And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2002002, Mar 7, 2002
Filed:
Aug 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/941040
Inventors:
Nabil Muhanna - Gainesville GA, US
International Classification:
A61F002/44
US Classification:
623/017110, 623/017160
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel vertebral spacer for supporting adjacent vertebrae. The vertebral spacer has a body having an anterior face and a posterior face extending between an upper surface and a lower surface. The heights of the anterior face and the posterior face may differ, the non-parallel upper and lower surfaces thereby maintaining the curvature of the spine when the vertebral spacer is inserted between two vertebrae. A stabilizing body may be connected to the body of the spacer by an attachment member that optionally allows the body and the stabilizing body to rotate relative to each other. The vertebral spacer may have a locking assembly whereby the body and the stabilizing body may be rigidly locked. The vertebral spacer may include optional channels extending through the body of the spacer that facilitate tissue ingrowth and bony fusion between the adjacent vertebrae. A stabilizing body connected to the body of the vertebral spacer may be formed by delivering a biocompatible liquid polymer material into a liquid receiving bore and a transverse bore. Excess polymer may seep into the intervertebral space where it hardens to form the stabilizing body extending from the body of the spacer. A method of inserting the vertebral spacer into an intervertebral space is also described. The body of the vertebral spacer is rotated so that the lower surface and the upper surface of the body contact the adjacent vertebrae, whereupon the body is secured by attaching (if necessary), and locking, the stabilizing body.
Method And Apparatus For Insertion Of A Flexible Implant Into The Human Body
US Patent:

Assignee:
INSERTION, LLC - GAINESVILLE GA
International Classification:
A61F 2/12
US Classification:
623 7
Abstract:
An insertion device for inserting an implant into a body through an incision is provided. The device includes a holder for receiving an implant and has an open downstream end that is dimensioned to be inserted into the incision and for passing the implant therethrough. The device also includes a flexible carrier that extends through the downstream end of the implant holder and is positioned along inner and outer wall surfaces of the holder. The carrier is dimensioned to frictionally engage the implant at least at a position on the inner wall surface proximate the downstream end of the holder. The carrier and the holder are configured such that when the carrier is caused to move through the open downstream end, the implant moves with the carrier, through the opening, and into the incision.

David L. Schalliol - Oakwood GA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606257, 606272
Abstract:
A pedicle screw assembly includes pedicle screw having a plurality of spaced-apart posts. A ball collet having a ball collet bore is seated on the pedicle screw between the posts and a rod is gripped by an inner surface of the ball collet bore. The assembly also includes a cap that is coupled to the posts, the cap applying a compressive force to the ball collet against a seat of said pedicle screw. A free end of the rod may be provided with various structures to enable such free end to be retained by another pedicle screw.
Vertebral Body Replacement
US Patent:
2010008, Apr 1, 2010
Filed:
Nov 6, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/613865
Inventors:
Nabil L. Muhanna - Gainesville GA, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711
Abstract:
This invention concerns a vertebral body replacement element to be inserted into an intervertebral space, thus supporting the spinal column of a patient. The vertebral body replacement element has a hollow upper member and a hollow lower member, with the upper member and lower member engaging in a telescopic manner and establishing a cavity between the two members when assembled. Spacers may be inserted in the cavity to lengthen the vertebral body replacement element. The present invention further concerns a system and method for expanding and distracting a vertebral body replacement element into and within the spinal column of a patient.
