Internal Fixation System For Spine Surgery
US Patent:
2006008, Apr 27, 2006
Filed:
Oct 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/258778
Inventors:
Walter Eckman - Tupelo MS, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
606061000
Abstract:
An internal fixation rod for spine surgery includes an elongate body, a first rod end, a second rod end, a first mounting member and a second mounting member. The first mounting member is disposed proximate the first rod end, and the second mounting member is disposed proximate the second rod end. The first mounting member and the second mounting member are smaller in cross-section than the elongate body.
Internal Fixation System For Spine Surgery
US Patent:
2010006, Mar 18, 2010
Filed:
Oct 15, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/580007
Inventors:
Walter W. Eckman - Tupelo MS, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70, A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606255, 606264, 606279
Abstract:
Provided is a spinal fixation system that includes a pedicle screw having a bone engagement thread at a first end of the pedicle screw and an intermediate shaft portion located between the bone engagement thread and a second end of the pedicle screw and having a substantially conical shaped flange. The system also includes a clamp that fits over the second end of the pedicle screw, a fixation rod that can be secured between the clamp and an external side of the pedicle screw, and a fastener that can be coupled to the second end of the pedicle screw. Coupling of the fastener to the second end of the pedicle screw provides a clamping force that presses the fixation rod against the intermediate shaft portion of the pedicle screw.

Intervertebral Disk Prosthesis Methods Of Use
US Patent:
7740658, Jun 22, 2010
Filed:
Sep 27, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/951317
Inventors:
Walter W. Eckman - Tupelo MS, US
Assignee:
Concept Matrix, LLC - Orlando FL
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 1716, 623 1715
Abstract:
A method of using an intervertebral disk prosthesis includes the step of ensuring that the intervertebral space between first and second vertebrae of a patient is substantially free of nuclear matter. The method also includes the step of inserting a distal end of the disk prosthesis into a gap between the first and second vertebrae. The disk prosthesis includes a first part with a convexly-shaped and rounded outer surface and an inner surface having a concavely-shaped socket. The disk prosthesis also includes a second part that has a convexly-shaped and rounded outer surface and an inner surface that has a convexly-shaped portion that at least partially engages with the socket thereby allowing at least two-degrees of freedom of movement of the first part with respect to the second part. The method further includes the step of permitting the top of the first part to contact the first vertebra and the bottom of the second part to contact the second vertebra.
Vertebral Defect Device
US Patent:
7674295, Mar 9, 2010
Filed:
Aug 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/463056
Inventors:
Walter W. Eckman - Tupelo MS, US
Assignee:
Concept Matrix, LLC - Orlando FL
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 1716, 606246
Abstract:
A vertebral defect device includes a housing having a convexly tapered distal end, a convexly tapered proximal end, a top, a bottom, an anterior side, a posterior side and an outer surface having generally rounded edges thereby facilitating insertion into an intervertebral space between a pair of adjacent vertebrae. The length of the housing as measured from the distal end to the proximal end is greater than the width of the housing as measured between the anterior and posterior sides and is greater than the height of the housing as measured between the top and bottom.
Intervertebral Disk Prosthesis
US Patent:
7011684, Mar 14, 2006
Filed:
Jan 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/345634
Inventors:
Walter W. Eckman - Tupelo MS, US
Assignee:
Concept Matrix, LLC - Orlando FL
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716, 623 1711
Abstract:
An intervertebral disk prosthesis includes a first part, and the first part has a top, a bottom having an opening, an outer surface, an inner surface and a socket extending into an interior of the first part from the opening and defined by the inner surface. The outer surface proximate the top contacts a concave portion of a first vertebra. The disk prosthesis further includes a second part including a top, a bottom, and an outer surface. The outer surface proximate the bottom contacts a concave portion of a second vertebra, and the outer surface of the second part proximate the top of the second part cooperatively engages the inner surface of the first part thereby allowing at least two-degrees of freedom of movement.
Diskectomy Instrument With Disposable Blade Head
US Patent:
7699849, Apr 20, 2010
Filed:
May 23, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/135219
Inventors:
Walter W. Eckman - Tupelo MS, US
Assignee:
Concept Matrix, LLC - Orlando FL
International Classification:
A61B 17/32
US Classification:
606 79
Abstract:
A diskectomy instrument includes a blade housing assembly having a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The second portion is fixedly attached to a probe body, and the first portion is releasably connectable to the second portion. At least one blade opening is provided, and at least one blade is movably mounted at least partially within the blade housing for movement through the at least one blade opening between an extended position and a retracted position. A drive stem is movably mounted for linear movement within the probe body and is operatively connected to an actuator. The drive stem engages the at least one blade to move the blade between the extended position and the retracted position. A removal tool is provided to permit the first housing portion to be removed from the second housing portion.

Back Injury Recovery Method
US Patent:
5954056, Sep 21, 1999
Filed:
Jun 16, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/876975
Inventors:
Walter W. Eckman - Tupelo MS
International Classification:
A61B 1900
US Classification:
128898
Abstract:
The early care of low-back pain using a series of stretching exercises that include knee to chest stretching, straight leg rising stretching, sitting toe touches and lumbar flexion stretching aid the gradual healing of low-back pain without the need for medical treatment. With such stretching, sufficient ability to bend the body in flexion is achieved. Further, the strengthening of the lumbar muscles with graded weight lifting continues a path to recovery and control over what would otherwise be immobilizing low-back pain.
