Publication number: 20220079495Abstract: A pedicle access system including a cannula, a stylet, and a removable T-handle. The pedicle access system may be used to percutaneously approach the pedicle, initiate pilot hole formation, and conduct a stimulation signal to the target site for the purposes of performing a pedicle integrity assessment during the pilot hole formation. To do this, the cannula and stylet are locked in combination and inserted through an operating corridor to the pedicle target site, using the T-handle to facilitate easy movement and positioning of the cannula/stylet combination. A stimulation signal may be applied during pilot hole formation to conduct the pedicle integrity assessment. In a significant aspect, the T-handle may be detached from the cannula/stylet combination to facilitate the use of various surgical tools as necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Thomas Scholl, Albert Kim, Eric Finley, Albert Pothier, Scot Martinelli, Jared Arambula

Publication number: 20210030558Abstract: An implant is provided for performing spinal fusion. The implant includes an implant body having a leading side and a trailing side at opposing ends along a longitudinal axis. Between the leading side and trailing side are an upper surface, a lower surface, an anterior side, and a posterior side. At least one keel structure is provided extending from the implant body for penetration into an adjacent vertebral body. A trial sizer and keel cutter may be utilized to form keel channels within the vertebral body to receive the keel structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2020Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Kamshad Raiszadeh, Benjamin VerHage, Michael Mindoro, Jared Arambula, Dan K.
