International Classification:
A61B 17/88, A61B 17/56, A61B 17/80
US Classification:
606281, 606283, 606 86 B
Abstract:
Surgical instruments and methods aimed at the proper placement and installation of textile-based orthopedic implants. More specifically, the surgical instruments include a flexible template, insertion instrument and multi-pronged awl. The flexible template may be formed of a combination of rigid and flexible materials and is deformable to match the contour of the target anatomy for subsequent placement of a textile-based orthopedic implant. The insertion instrument has a handle and a template end used for holding the flexible template and textile-based implant. The template end has one or apertures with hollow cylindrical extensions for holding the flexible template or textile-based implant and one or more cutout regions for better visualization and affixation of fixation screws. An awl is also provided with one or more prongs to initiate channels for the fixation screws. A method of implanting a textile-based orthopedic implant is also disclosed.

International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1715, 623 1711, 623 1716
Abstract:
An expandable spinal implant comprising a cage body including at least two movable branches having first end portions that are interconnected to one another and second end portions that are movable relative to one another. The movable branches include a first shell portion having a first pair of longitudinal edges and defining a first hollow region therebetween, and a second shell portion having a second pair of longitudinal edges and defining a second hollow region therebetween, with the first and second hollow regions cooperating to define at least a portion of a hollow interior of the cage body. An expansion member co-acts with the first and second shell portions to transition the cage body to an expanded configuration as the expansion member is axially displaced along said first and second pairs of longitudinal edges. In one embodiment, at least one of the shell portions defines a plurality of retention elements positioned at select axial locations along a corresponding one of the longitudinal edges, with the expansion member engaged with one or more of the retention elements to retain the expansion member at a select axial position to maintain the implant in the expanded configuration.

WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61B 17/70, A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606249, 606279
Abstract:
Spinous process implants that may include a first plate sized to extend along a first lateral side of the spinous processes and a second plate sized to extend along a second lateral side of the spinous processes. The second plate may include a bore that extends through the second plate. An elongated post may extend through the bore with a first end attached to the first plate and a second end positioned outward beyond the outer surface of the second plate away from the first plate. A joint may be positioned along the post that attaches a first section of the post to a second section of the post. The joint may be constructed to align the first and second sections in a collinear orientation and to remove the second section from the first section. Additional joints may also be positioned along the post. The bore may be sized relative to the post for the second plate to be movable along a length of the post.

Assignee:
Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
The present application is directed to implants for positioned between vertebral members. The implant may include a superior surface to contact against a first vertebral member, and an inferior surface to contact against a second vertebral member. The implant may include a central web that extends between first and second flanges. The flanges may be shaped to form gaps that extend the height of the implant. Spaces in communication with the gaps may be formed in an interior of the implant to hold bone growth material.
Spinous Process Implant With A Post And An Enlarged Boss

International Classification:
A61B 17/70, A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606248, 606279
Abstract:
A spinous process implant with two plates that are connected together with a post. The implant is configured for each plate to be positioned on outer lateral sides of spinous processes with the post extending through the interspinous space. One or both plates may be movable along the length of the post to accommodate different anatomies such as for relatively wide or thin spinous processes. The post includes an enlarged head at a first end to prevent the first plate from disassociating from the post in a first direction. The post also includes a boss at a second end to prevent the second plate from disassociating from the post in a second direction. Methods of attaching the implants to the spinous processes are also disclosed.
