8409283, Apr 2, 2013
Filed:
Jul 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/845891
Inventors:
Thomas E. Drochner - Memphis TN, US

Assignee:
Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
B23P 11/00
US Classification:
623 1711, 29428
Abstract:
An implant and method for insertion between adjacent vertebral members. The implant comprising an implant body with a base section having a plurality of base extensions, and an end cap adapted for selective axial positioning at a selected point on the base section and subsequent rotational adjustment about an implant axis. The end cap also comprising a fixed aperture and a variable aperture, both configured to receive and lockingly engage corresponding base extensions to securely maintain the end cap positioned on the base section. The fixed and variable passages are configured and located to permit rotational end cap adjustment. The implant imparts end cap height and angulation to an adjacent vertebral body at the selected or desired point when the implant is positioned and lockingly engaged in the intervertebral space.

Devices And Methods For Spacing Of Vertebral Members Over Multiple Levels

US Patent:
20070173855, Jul 26, 2007
Filed:
Jan 17, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/333720
Inventors:
Brad Winn - Southaven MS, US
Craig Squires - Cordova TN, US
Mark Dace - Collierville TN, US
Bret Wilfong - Southaven MS, US
Jared Shoup - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/58
US Classification:
606090000
Abstract:
The present application is directed to devices and methods to space apart vertebral members over two or more spinal levels. Embodiments of the devices may include a power source, supply line, and adjustable members. The adjustable members may be positioned along two or more spinal levels. The supply line may extend between each of the members and the power source. Activation of the power source may feed power through the supply line and to each of the adjustable members. Members may move from a closed orientation towards an open orientation to space the vertebral members.

US Patent:
20070191856, Aug 16, 2007
Filed:
Jan 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/343687
Inventors:
Carlos Gil - Collierville TN, US
Bret Wilfong - Southaven MS, US
Assignee:
SDGI Holdings, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
A61B 17/58
US Classification:
606090000
Abstract:
A distractor assembly for preparing an intervertebral disc space between a first vertebra and a second vertebra is described. The distractor assembly comprises a cross bar and first and second distracting arms connected to the cross bar. Each of the distracting arms includes a base portion and a moveable portion connected to the base portion via a length adjustment assembly operable to cause translation of the moveable portion relative to the base portion, thereby to adjust a length of the distracting arm

US Patent:
20070227023, Oct 4, 2007
Filed:
Apr 4, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/397465
Inventors:
Mark Dace - Collierville TN, US
Bret Wilfong - Southaven MS, US
Assignee:
SDGI Holdings, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
A61B 5/103
US Classification:
033512000
Abstract:
A measurement device to determining a length of an anatomical feature is provided. In one embodiment, the measurement device is a depth gauge adapted to measure the depth of a vertebral endplate. The depth gauge may includes a probe that travels into the disc space. The depth gauge also includes a cam dial for indicating measurements.

End Cap For A Vertebral Implant

View page
US Patent:
20110190890, Aug 4, 2011
Filed:
Feb 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/698692
Inventors:
Jonathan E. Blackwell - Arlington TN, US
Cristian A. Capote - Memphis TN, US
Thomas E. Drochner - Memphis TN, US
Michael J. Merves - Memphis TN, US
Bret M. Wilfong - Hernando MS, US
Assignee:
WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
An implant for insertion between adjacent vertebral members, comprising an implant body with a base section having positioning teeth, and an end cap for positioning at a selected point on the base section via adjustment of an approach direction. The end cap comprises a seating surface which contacts the base section when positioned on the implant body, an end cap angulation, and positioning passages for receiving positioning teeth. The implant may comprise a locking mechanism for lockingly engaging the end cap and base section and preventing end cap axial movement. The positioning passages and positioning teeth configured to facilitate end cap slideable positioning on the base section. And, a positioning passage comprising a locking tenon for lockingly engaging a positioning tooth in the positioning passage. The implant body and end cap combination imparting angulation to an adjacent vertebral body at the selected point when positioned in the intervertebral space.

Intervertebral Implant With A Hinge End Cap

US Patent:
20120016476, Jan 19, 2012
Filed:
Jul 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/836704

Assignee:
Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711
Abstract:
Devices and methods for spacing apart vertebral members. The implant may include a body and an end cap. Connectors may extend outward from the body to attach with the end cap. The end cap may include a hinged design to securely attach to the body. The hinged design may include first and second sections that are connected at a hinge. The implant may also include a second end cap positioned at the opposite end of the body. The second end cap may be the same or different than the first end cap.

Intervertebral Implant With Multi-Piece End Cap

View page
US Patent:
20120016478, Jan 19, 2012
Filed:
Jul 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/837003
Inventors:
Bret M. Wilfong - Hernando MS, US
Michael J. Merves - Memphis TN, US
Assignee:
Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
Implants sized to be inserted into an intervertebral space between first and second vertebral members, and related methods. The spinal implant may have a body extending along a longitudinal axis with opposing first and second longitudinal ends. An end cap is mounted to the body at one of the ends and disposed longitudinally outboard of the corresponding end. The end cap comprises a first portion, a second portion, and an annular elastic element, such as an O-ring. The first and second portions are disposed circumferentially around the longitudinal axis. The annular elastic member circumferentially surrounds the first portion, the second portion, and the longitudinal axis. The annular elastic member applies a compressive force that urges the first and second portions together in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. The end cap may be flat or angled. Other implants and related methods are disclosed.
