International Classification:
A61B 17/58, A61B 17/60, A61F 2/00
US Classification:
606 99, 606 86 A
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system are provided to place an insert in a space between boney structures. The insert may be rotatably coupled to the delivery instrument. The delivery instrument may comprise a body and an articulating member. The articulating member may slidably interact with the insert to rotate the insert about a pivot point. A first actuator is operatively coupled to the articulating member such that actuating the first actuator translates the articulating member relative to the body. An engagement member may be coupled to the body and adapted to releasably and rotatably secure the insert to the delivery instrument. The articulating member and the engagement member may be offset from each other in such a manner that when the articulating member engages the insert, the insert rotates relative to the delivery instrument. Alternatively, the insert may be coupled to the delivery instrument via rotatable attachment members.

Noelle Dye - Charlestown MA, US
International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600213, 600215, 600232
Abstract:
A surgical retractor may be provided for a surgical procedure such as spinal surgery. The surgical retractor may include a separator, a first and second blade holder coupled to the separator, and blade assemblies coupled to the blade holders. The separator may move the blade holders to change the position of the first blade holder relative to the second blade holder. The blade assemblies may retract tissue of a patient. An activator of a blade holder may be used to rotate a first blade of the blade assembly. Rotating the first blade tilts the blade assembly to create a larger opening at a distal end of the retractor. In some embodiments, side blades may be placed in the retractor.
