Method For Forming An Intervertebral Implant

View page
US Patent:
6383221, May 7, 2002
Filed:
Aug 8, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/924499
Inventors:
Nelson L. Scarborough - Ocean NJ
John W. Boyle - Upper Montclair NJ
Assignee:
Osteotech, Inc. - Eatontown NJ
International Classification:
A61F 244
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 2363, 623901
Abstract:
An intervertebral implant having a composite wedge/dowel configuration is provided. The intervertebral implant includes a central body portion and a pair of radially extending wings. The radially extending wings can be tapered from a first end of the implant to the second end of the implant along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the central body portion. Alternately, the radially extending wings can be tapered along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body portion or along any other axis between parallel and transverse to the longitudinal axis. A throughbore or plurality of throughbores extend from a top surface of the implant through the implant to a bottom surface of the implant. The implant may be formed from a cortical ring cut from the diaphysis of a long bone by milling the top and bottom surfaces of the cortical ring to form the substantially central body portion and the tapered radially extending wings. The cortical ring is milled such that the intramedullary canal of the cortical ring defines a throughbore in the central body portion of the implant.

Process For Producing Flexible Sheets From Demineralized, Elongate, Bone Particles

View page
US Patent:
6436138, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Sep 18, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/155064
Inventors:
Michael Dowd - Eastampton NJ
Nelson L. Scarborough - Wayside NJ
Mark Daugherty - Allenwood NJ
Jack McMickle - Nazareth PA
Assignee:
Osteotech, Inc. - Eatontown NJ
International Classification:
A61F 228
US Classification:
623 1611, 623901, 623 2361, 623919
Abstract:
A process for fabricating shaped material from demineralized bone particles includes the steps of applying a liquid slurry of demineralized bone particles to a support, removing excess liquid form the demineralized bone particles to provide a cohering shaped mass of demineralized bone particles, and warming the shaped mass of demineralized bone particles at a predetermined temperature and for a predetermined time period. The resultant bone mass exhibits enhanced tensile strength and minimal bone particle disassociation upon rehydration thereby improving product handling and application at the operative site.

Intervertebral Implant

US Patent:
6547823, Apr 15, 2003
Filed:
Jun 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/328283
Inventors:
Nelson L. Scarborough - Ocean NJ
John W. Boyle - Upper Montclair NJ
Assignee:
Osteotech, Inc. - Eatontown NJ
International Classification:
A61F 244
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
An intervertebral implant having a composite wedge/dowel configuration is provided. The intervertebral implant includes a central body portion and a pair of radially extending wings. The radially extending wings can be tapered from a first end of the implant to the second end of the implant along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the central body portion. Alternately, the radially extending wings can be tapered along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body portion or along any other axis between parallel and transverse to the longitudinal axis.

Method Of Inducing New Bone Growth In Porous Bone Sites

View page
US Patent:
6599520, Jul 29, 2003
Filed:
Mar 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/100475
Inventors:
Nelson L. Scarborough - Andover MA
James Russell - Little Silver NJ
Assignee:
Osteotech, Inc. - Eatontown NJ
International Classification:
A61F 200
US Classification:
424426
Abstract:
A method of treating a condition in a vertebrate animal characterized by bone having increased porosity and/or decreased bone mineral density. The porous bone is injected with an effective amount of a flowable bone composition. Also provided is a kit for the treatment of porous bone wherein a flowable bone composition is contained within an injectable delivery system.

Bone Graft And Guided Bone Regeneration Method

View page
US Patent:
6616698, Sep 9, 2003
Filed:
Mar 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/810107
Inventors:
Nelson L. Scarborough - Ocean NJ
Assignee:
Osteotech, Inc. - Eatontown NJ
International Classification:
A61F 228
US Classification:
623 2351, 623 2361, 623 2363
Abstract:
An implantable, biocompatible, osteogenic bone graft comprises at least one zone of impermeability to soft tissue ingrowth which is integral with the bone graft. Application of the bone graft to a bone repair site leads to selective rapid new bone ingrowth and inhibits or prevents soft tissue, e. g. , gingival, epithelial, connective and/or muscle tissue, ingrowth in those areas adjacent to the zone(s) of impermeability to soft tissue ingrowth. The bone graft can be employed in a wide variety of bone repair procedures.

Intervertebral Spacer And Implant Insertion Instrumentation

View page
US Patent:
6638310, Oct 28, 2003
Filed:
Dec 12, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/734860
Inventors:
Jo-Wen Lin - Tinton Falls NJ
Nelson L. Scarborough - Ocean NJ
Lawrence Shimp - Morganville NJ
David Kaes - Toms River NJ
Assignee:
Osteotech, Inc. - Eatontown NJ
International Classification:
A61F 244
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 1716
Abstract:
An intervertebral spacer formed of dense cancellous human or animal bone is provided. In one preferred embodiment, the intervertebral spacer includes at least one bore which is dimensioned to receive a plug formed from cortical bone tissue. The cortical bone plug provides increased mechanical strength to the intervertebral spacer. Instrumentation for gauging the size of an intervertebral receiving bed and for grasping and inserting an intervertebral spacer or implant into an intervertebral receiving bed are also provided. These instruments include a spacer trial or set of spacer trials for determining the appropriate size spacer required for a particular surgical procedure, a spacer introducer for grasping and positioning a spacer at least partially within a receiving bed formed in the intervertebral space, and a bone tamp for driving a spacer into the receiving bed. Any one or all of these instruments may be provided in a kit for inserting an implant into the intervertebral space. The kit may also include one or more intervertebral spacers or implants.
