Vertebrae Linking System
US Patent:
6312431, Nov 6, 2001
Filed:
Apr 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/556641
Inventors:
Wilson T. Asfora - Sioux Falls SD
International Classification:
A61B 1756
US Classification:
606 69
Abstract:
A vertebrae linking system for restricting relative movement between adjacent vertebrae and promoting fusion of the adjacent vertebrae. The invention comprises a system for linking spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae of a vertebral column of a patient, including an elongate linking plate apparatus for extending between the spinous processes of the adjacent vertebrae. The plate has opposite ends, and a pair of securing apertures formed in the linking plate, each of the securing apertures being located toward one of the ends of the linking plate. Preferably, a pair of sets of securing apertures are located at each end of the linking plate, each set of securing apertures comprising at least two apertures. The system includes a method for restricting movement of adjacent vertebrae with respect each other in the vertebral column of a patient, which comprises forming passages through the spinous processes, aligning securing apertures with the passages, and passing a connecting member through the apertures and passages. The system also includes a method for facilitating fusion between spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae, including forming an interstice between opposing faces of first and second plates and the spinous processes of first and second vertebrae, and placing a bone material in the interstice.

A61H 1/00, A61F 2/44
US Classification:
601 46, 601 79, 623 1711, 606248
Abstract:
An implant system for imparting vibratory massage to tissue of a patient from within the body of the patient is disclosed. The system comprises an implant device configured to produce and communicate a vibration to body tissue located adjacent to the implant device. The device may include a case forming at least a portion of an exterior of the device, and a vibration generator configured to vibrate the portion of the exterior. The device may include a power supply to supply power to the vibration generator and a switch to selectively permit power from the power supply to be supplied to the vibration generator. The device may include a power receiver to receive electrical energy from a location external to the body of the patient and a signal receiver to receive signals from a location external to the body of the patient when the receiver is located in the body of the patient.
