Vertebral implants and methods for installation thereof

Embodiments herein are generally directed to vertebral implants and implant trials for use with vertebral implant assemblies. In some embodiments, these implants and implant trials may be used in conjunction with corpectomy procedures.

MESH FOR ENCLOSING BONE MATERIAL AND METHODS OF USE

A bone implant for enclosing bone material is provided. The bone implant comprises a mesh having one or more pores, an inner surface and an outer surface opposing the inner surface, the inner surface configured to receive a bone material when the inner surface of the mesh is in an open configuration; and a plurality of projections disposed on or in at least a portion of the inner surface of the mesh, the outer surface of the mesh or both the inner surface and outer surface of the mesh. Each of the plurality of projections have a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end contacting the inner surface of the mesh, the outer surface of the mesh or both the inner surface and outer surface of the mesh, the first end having a first surface area larger than a second surface area of the second end and larger than a surface area of the one or more pores of the mesh, the second end extending from at least the portion of the inner surface, the outer surface of the mesh or both the inner surface and outer surface of the mesh and configured to engage a section of the inner surface of the mesh or a section of the outer surface of the mesh or both sections of the inner and outer surfaces of the mesh in a closed configuration so as to enclose the bone material.

EXPANDABLE IMPLANT
20170042694 · 2017-02-16 ·

An expandable implant for inserting within a skeletal space is provided, and a method for using the implant to expand the skeletal space. The implant is preferably designed to be inserted into an intervertebral space to replace at least part of an intervertebral disc between adjacent vertebral bodies. The expandable implant contains at least one first expansion compartment and at least one second expansion compartments, which compartments can be inflatable balloons that are inflated by a catheter. Inflating the first expansion compartment expands the implant in a first direction and inflating the second expansion compartment expands the implant in a second direction.

Vertebral implants and methods for installation thereof

The present application is generally directed to vertebral implants and implant trials for use with vertebral implant assemblies. The vertebral implants and implant trials may be used in conjunction with corpectomy procedures. One type of vertebral implant is a corpectomy device having a polyaxial endplate assembly. The polyaxial endplate assembly includes an articulatable plate member that is capable of angulation. The articulatable plate member can be fixed in place by, for example, using a clamping assembly to fix the articulatable plate member.
