View pageUS Patent:
7645293, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Apr 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/108269
Inventors:
Jonathan Martinek - Hamden CT, US
Stephen Zlock - Redding CT, US
Hanspeter R. Bayer - Meriden CT, US

Assignee:
United States Surgical Corporation - North Haven CT
International Classification:
A61B 17/04
US Classification:
606232
Abstract:
An apparatus for placement of a suture anchor having a suture connected thereto includes a handle dimensioned for engagement by the user and an elongated member connected to the handle and extending therefrom. The elongated member has an anchor mount for mounting a suture anchor. The handle includes a frame having a suture retainer adapted for retaining a suture, at least one cover releasably mounted to the frame to at least partially enclose the suture retainer and a release button mounted to the frame and movable to release the at least one cover from the frame to expose the suture portion.

Appl. No.:
11/031562
Inventors:
Richard Manzi - Yorktown NY, US

Assignee:
Spine Wave, Inc. - Shelton CT
International Classification:
A61B 17/58
US Classification:
623 1711, 606 90, 606 92, 606 94, 606105
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for distracting opposite surfaces from the interior of a bone, such as a vertebral body. A working channel cannula provides a working channel through which an inserter and an injection cannula can simultaneously pass. The inserter transports a plurality of wafers into the interior of the bone to form a load-bearing stack bearing against the opposite surfaces. The injection cannula is used to inject a fluent material into and/or around the stack. In certain embodiments, the fluent material is a load-bearing or hardenable material, such as bone cement. In other embodiments, the fluent material can be a BMP, HAP, or other osteo-inductive, osteo-conductive, or pharmaceutical compositions. A syringe containing the fluent material is engaged to the injection cannula and is operable to inject the fluent material into the vertebral body under controlled pressure.
Expandable Interbody Fusion Device

7967867, Jun 28, 2011
Filed:
May 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/756050
Inventors:
Peter Barreiro - West Haven CT, US
Dennis Ty - Milford CT, US

Michael E. Landry - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Spine Wave, Inc. - Shelton CT
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716, 623 1715
Abstract:
An expandable interbody fusion device includes superior and inferior endplates that are configured to receive a sequentially inserted stack of interlocking expansion members or wafers. The like-configured wafers include features on their top and bottom surfaces that interlock the wafers in multiple degrees of freedom so that the wafer stack is not disrupted when the fusion device is fully expanded. One of the interlocking features includes a plurality of prongs projecting from an upper surface of the wafers and into a recess defined in the lower surface of an adjacent previously inserted like-configured wafer. The prongs and recesses are configured to prevent retrograde movement of each new wafer in a direction opposite the direction of insertion. Other interlocking features prevent movement in the direction of insertion, transverse to the insertion direction and vertically within the stack.
