  • Publication number: 20240169731
    Abstract: Multiple image capture devices are located in an operating room to capture video of the entirety of the operating room. A surgical tracking server obtains video of an operating from the multiple image capture devices and identifies objects within frames of the video using one or more computer vision models. The surgical tracking server determines a state of each identified object by applying one or more models to characteristics of the video including the identified objects. The surgical tracking server determines a phase of the operating room from a set of predefined phases using one or more phase classification models and transmits a notification to a client device if the determined phase of the operating room matches the specific phase associated with the user.

  • Publication number: 20240169734
    Abstract: Multiple image capture devices are located in an operating room to capture video of the entirety of the operating room. A surgical tracking server applies one or more models to the captured video to determine states of objects in the operating room. From the determined states, the surgical tracking system determines a phase of the operating room. The determined phase may indicate an availability of the operating room to perform surgery or a status of a surgery being performed in the operating room. An interface identifying the operating and the determined phase of the operating room is generated and displayed to one or more users. The interface may identify a length of time the operating room is in a phase, allowing a user to monitor availability and use of the operating room. Additionally, notifications about a phase of the operating room may be transmitted to users.

  • Publication number: 20240170127
    Abstract: Multiple image capture devices are located in an operating room to capture video of the entirety of the operating room. A surgical tracking server applies one or more models to the captured video to determine states of objects in the operating room from which a phase of the operating room is determined. A surgical time-out where information about a surgical procedure is audibly provided by people in the operating room during the surgical procedure. From audio and video of the operating room, the surgical tracking server determines whether the time-out was performed and identifies audio and video corresponding to the surgical time-out. The identified audio and video are compared to criteria to evaluate completeness of the surgical time-out. A quality metric for the time out based on the captured video data based on characteristics of the video or audio of the operating room may also be generated.

  • Patent number: 11058553
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a spinal facet cage implant for implantation in a spinal facet joint. In one implementation, the implant includes a distal leading end, a proximal trailing end, a first face, and a second face. The distal leading end has a distal surface generally opposite a proximal surface of the proximal trailing end. The first face has a first surface that is generally parallel with a second surface of the second face. The first and second faces extend between the distal leading end and the proximal trailing end. The first and second surfaces having one or more textured features adapted to provide friction with the spinal facet joint. One or more windows are defined in the first and/or second surfaces, and one or more side windows are defined in the first and/or second side surfaces.

  • Patent number: 10653535
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a bone anchor deployment device. In one implementation, the bone anchor deployment device includes a flexible shaft adapted to bend along a deployment trajectory. A socket at the distal end of the flexible shaft is adapted to retain a bone anchor in a non-coaxial position. The bone anchor deployment device further includes a guide shaft having a lumen and a distal tip and an elongated tube extending through at least a portion of the guide shaft lumen and protruding from the distal tip of the guide shaft. A guide passage extends through a lumen of the elongated tube, and a channel is formed from a surface at a distal end of the guide passage. The channel is oriented at an angle relative to the guide passage and is adapted to cause the flexible shaft to bend.

  • Patent number: 10039649
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a distal leading portion of a composite spinal implant for implantation in a spinal facet joint. In one implementation, the distal leading portion includes a distal leading end, a proximal trailing end, a first face, and a second face. The distal leading end has a distal surface generally opposite a proximal surface of the proximal trailing end. The first face has a first surface that is generally parallel with a second surface of the second face. The first and second faces extend between the distal leading end and the proximal trailing end, such that the first and second surfaces slope upwardly from the distal lead end to the proximal trailing end along a length of extending proximally. The first and second surfaces having one or more textured features adapted to provide friction with the spinal facet joint.

  • Patent number: 9968464
    Abstract: A spinal fusion system may include an interbody fusion cage, a fixation plate, and an implanter. The interbody fusion cage may include a proximal region, a distal region opposite the proximal region, a superior region, an inferior region opposite the superior region, and an open volume between the proximal and distal regions. The superior and inferior regions are located between the proximal and distal regions and are configured such that, when the interbody fusion cage is implanted in the disc space, the superior region contacts the inferior end plate and the inferior region contacts the superior end plate. The fixation plate is receivable in the open volume of the interbody fusion cage and includes a superior blade and an inferior blade. At least one of the blades includes a first opening defined therein. The fixation plate is displaceable between a non-deployed state and a deployed state.
