INTERBODY FUSION DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
Interbody fusion devices and related methods of manufacture are described herein. An example interbody fusion device can include a plurality of vertebral endplates, and a body extending between the vertebral endplates. The body and the vertebral endplates can define an internal cavity. Additionally, each of the vertebral endplates can include a lattice structure and a frame surrounding the lattice structure, where the lattice structure being configured to distribute load. Each of the vertebral endplates can also include a plurality of micro-apertures having an average size between about 2 to about IO micrometers (μm), and a plurality of macro-apertures having an average size between about 300 to about 800 micrometers (μm).
ARTIFICIAL VERTEBRAL ENDPLATES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
In a general aspect, an apparatus can include a plate configured for implantation in a body of a patient. The plate can include a plurality of pores and be configured for placement between a cancellous bone of a spinal vertebra and a corresponding cartilaginous endplate as a replacement for a bony endplate of the spinal vertebra.

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAT”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.
Spinal interbody cage comprising a bulk interbody cage, a top face, a bottom face, pillars, and slots
Spinal interbody cages are provided that include a bulk interbody cage, a top face, a bottom face, pillars, and slots. The pillars are for contacting vertebral bodies. The slots are to be occupied by bone of the vertebral bodies and/or by bone of a bone graft. The spinal interbody cage has a Young's modulus of elasticity of at least 3 GPa, and has a ratio of the sum of (i) the volumes of the slots to (ii) the sum of the volumes of the pillars and the volumes of the slots of 0.40:1 to 0.90:1.
MEDICAL DEVICES WITH INTEGRATED SENSORS AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION
Medical devices used for the treatment of disease, monitoring of physiological properties and the correction of deformities and/or degenerative conditions including integrated sensors providing physiological parameters to assist in assessing healing and the clinical management of patients. Including methods of production of said medical devices.
Intervertebral spinal implant
An intervertebral implant for implantation in an intervertebral space between vertebrae. The implant includes a body extending from an upper surface to a lower surface. The body has a front end, a rear end and a pair of spaced apart first and second side walls extending between the front and rear walls such that an internal chamber is defined within the front and rear ends and the first and second walls. The body defines an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter extending about the internal chamber. At least one of the side walls is defined by an integral porous structure.
POROUS SPINAL FUSION IMPLANT
The present disclosure in one aspect provides a surgical implant comprising an upper bone contacting surface comprising a plurality of irregularly shaped pores having an average pore size, where the pores are formed by a plurality of struts, a lower bone contacting surface comprising a plurality of irregularly shaped pores having an average pore size, wherein the pores are formed by a plurality of struts; and a central body comprising a plurality of irregularly shaped pores having an average pore size, wherein the pores are formed by a plurality of struts, wherein the average pore size on the upper and lower bone contacting surfaces is different than the average pore size on the central body.
Titanium implant surfaces free from alpha case and with enhanced osteoinduction
An orthopedic implant having a titanium or titanium alloy body with a plurality of surfaces. The orthopedic implant is produced according to a process comprising the steps of: (a) additively building the orthopedic implant; and then (b) mechanically, chemically, or mechanically and chemically eroding one or more surfaces of the orthopedic implant to (i) remove alpha case from, and (ii) impart an osteoinducting roughness including micro-scale structures and nano-scale structures into, the one or more surfaces.
TITANIUM IMPLANT SURFACES FREE FROM ALPHA CASE AND WITH ENHANCED OSTEOINDUCTION
An orthopedic implant having a titanium or titanium alloy body with a plurality of surfaces. The orthopedic implant is produced according to a process comprising the steps of: (a) additively building the orthopedic implant; and then (b) mechanically, chemically, or mechanically and chemically eroding one or more surfaces of the orthopedic implant to (i) remove alpha case from, and (ii) impart an osteoinducting roughness including micro-scale structures and nano-scale structures into, the one or more surfaces.
SURFACE TREATED MEDICAL IMPLANT DEVICES
A surgical implant having a surface treatment which contains primary cavities and secondary cavities. The primary cavities are larger than the secondary cavities and the primary cavities have an average length ranging from 20-500 micrometers. The surface treatment includes recasted material adjacent to a plurality of the primary cavities.
