Compressor For Use In Minimally Invasive Surgery
US Patent:
7189244, Mar 13, 2007
Filed:
Sep 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/256635
Inventors:
Peter Newton - San Diego CA, US
Mark Gracia - Rochester MA, US
Michael S. Varieur - Portsmouth RI, US
Carrie A. Breech - Wrentham MA, US
Mark Gracia - Rochester MA, US
Michael S. Varieur - Portsmouth RI, US

Assignee:
DePuy Spine, Inc. - Raynham MA
International Classification:
A61B 17/58, A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606105, 606205
Abstract:
A compressor tool for use in minimally invasive surgery is provided having first and second elongate elements where each elongate element is connected to the other at a pivot point within a pivot region of each element for rotating articulation in an articulation plane with respect to each other. The first and second elongate elements are configured to provide a tool pivot region including the pivot point, a tool handle proximal to the tool pivot region, and a tool working portion distal to the too pivot region so that pressure applied to the tool handle portion results in a compressive force being applied by the tool working portion. The tool has a first closed position for insertion of the tool through an incision or portal so that the pivot region is located within the incision or portal, and a second working position where the tool working portion is arranged to provide a compressive force to spaced apart elements within a patient's body. Articulation of the tool between the first closed position and the second working position results in no increase in dimension of the tool in the pivot region.

Mark Gracia - Rochester MA, US
Michael Varieur - Portsmouth RI, US
Carrie Breech - Wrentham MA, US
International Classification:
A61F002/38
US Classification:
606/104000
Abstract:
A screw placement guide tool for use in minimally invasive surgery has a proximal handle portion, an extension member extending distally from the handle portion, and an alignment element connected transversely to a distal portion of the extension member and having a screw placement guide located thereon. In this aspect of the invention, the tool is configured so that a surgeon may operate the tool using the handle portion external to a patient's body to align the alignment element with implanted screws so that the screw placement guide indicates a desired position for implantation of an additional screw. Systems and methods for placing a rod receiving screw are also provided.

Assignee:
DEPUY SPINE, INC. - Raynham MA
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
606 61
Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided for connecting a spinal fixation construct to the spine, and preferably to the ilium and/or sacrum. In one exemplary embodiment, a spinal connector is provided having an elongate configuration with opposed thru-bores formed therein. Each thru-bore can be configured to receive a bone screw for attaching the spinal connector to bone. The spinal connector can also include a receiving portion formed thereon or removably mated thereto for mating a spinal fixation element, such as a spinal rod, to the spinal connector. In certain exemplary embodiments, the receiving portion can be positioned between the opposed thru-bores. In use, the spinal connector can be implanted in the sacrum and/or ilium and it can receive a laterally or horizontally extending spinal fixation element therethrough. The lateral spinal fixation element can mate to a longitudinal spinal fixation element which is mated to one or more vertebrae in a patient's spine, thereby anchoring a construct to the sacrum and/or ilium.

International Classification:
A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606279
Abstract:
Methods and devices for treating spinal deformities are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a low-profile spinal anchoring device is provided for receiving a spinal fixation element, such as a tether, therethrough. The device generally includes a staple body that is adapted to seat a spinal fixation element, a fastening element for fixing the staple body to bone, and a locking assembly for coupling a spinal fixation element to the staple body. In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a washer that is adapted to couple to the staple body such that the spinal fixation is disposed therebetween, and a locking nut that is adapted to engage the staple body to mate the washer to the staple body.

US Classification:
606246, 606 86 A, 606 60
Abstract:
A pelvic obliquity correction instrument and methods of use are provided. The pelvic obliquity correction instrument includes a first engagement arm for engaging a portion of a spinal fixation system where the first engagement arm is adjustably coupled to a handle assembly. The pelvic obliquity correction instrument also includes a second engagement arm for engaging a second portion of the spinal fixation system. A surgeon exerts force on a first grip at a first end of the handle assembly and a second grip at a second end of the handle assembly to reposition a patient's pelvic bone. The pelvic obliquity correction instrument may provide a surgeon with greater precision, control and torque when rotating a patient's pelvic bone with respect to a superior portion of the patient's spine.

International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606264, 606266
Abstract:
Spinal anchoring methods and devices are provided that are effective to correct spinal deformities while allowing some flexibility to the spine. In particular, the methods and devices allow a spinal fixation element to mate to several adjacent vertebrae to maintain the vertebrae at a fixed distance relative to one another, yet to allow the orientation of each vertebrae relative to the fixation element to adjust as the orientation of the patient's spine changes.
