Polyaxial cannulated screw
10610370 · 2020-04-07 · ·

A polyaxial cannulated screw having a resilient expandable body capable of supporting compressive and cyclic loads. The expandable body provides an artificial disc prosthesis by use of the expandable body that mimics the properties of the natural disc by maintaining the intervertebral disc space through a full range of natural motion, absorbing shocks and permitting a natural range of motion. A U-shaped saddle attached to a spherical ball permits optimum positioning of a rod member by polyaxial placement.

VERTEBRAL JOINT IMPLANTS AND DELIVERY TOOLS

A spinal joint distraction system for treating a facet joint including articular surfaces having a contour is disclosed and may include a delivery device including a generally tubular structure adapted to engage a facet joint, an implant adapted to be delivered through the delivery device and into the facet joint, the implant comprising two members arranged in opposed position, and an implant distractor comprising a generally elongate member adapted to advance between the two members of the implant causing separation of the members and distraction of the facet joint, wherein the implant is adapted to conform to the shape of the implant distractor and/or the articular surfaces of the facet upon being delivered to the facet joint. Several embodiments of a system, several embodiments of an implant, and several methods are disclosed including a method for interbody fusion.

BIOINJECTION DEVICE HAVING A TIP WITH A PLURALITY OF DIRECTIONAL DISPERSION APERTURES
20240024581 · 2024-01-25 ·

The bioinjection device has a housing including a pistol grip and an elongated barrel. A trigger is pivotally mounted to the housing. An inner shaft having a distal end is slidable between a first position in which the distal end of the inner shaft is disposed in the barrel and a second position in which the distal end of the inner shaft extends past an opening in the end of the barrel. A tip containing a medicament is disposed about the opening of the elongated barrel. The tip includes at least one aperture for dispensing the medicament. One can inject the medicament from the tip into a bone fracture or degenerative bone tissue during surgery by actuating the trigger of the bioinjection device. A configurable tip may be employed to control the amount and direction of dispersion of such medicament.

DEVICE FOR PERFORMING A SURGICAL PROCEDURE AND METHOD

A medical balloon device includes an outer member extending along an axis. An inflatable member has a proximal end extending from a first end of the outer member and a distal end. An inner member is positioned within the outer member and the inflatable member such that a first end of the inner member is coupled to the distal end of the inflatable member. A support member is movably disposed within the inner member and includes a first end configured to removably engage the first end of the inner member. Translation of the support member along the axis causes the inflatable member to move between a first position in which the inflatable member has a first length and a first profile and a second position in which the inflatable member has a second reduced length and a second reduced profile. Methods of use are disclosed.

ARTICULATING OSTEOTOME WITH CEMENT DELIVERY CHANNEL AND METHOD OF USE
20200078066 · 2020-03-12 ·

The present disclosure illustrates an osteotome for treating hard tissue and methods of use. The osteotome embodiments described herein include a shaft with a working end configured to displace hard tissue and a lumen to deliver material through the shaft. The working end may create pathways by selectively transitioning from a linear to a non-linear configuration. The lumen may deliver material through the shaft while the working end is in a linear or a non-linear configuration allowing precise filling of the pathways.
