Abstract: An expandable implant device (100, 300, 600) for insertion between two vertebrae (400) is disclosed. The device (100, 300, 600) has a center body (10) one or more lift bodies (20, 40) and an external retaining band (60). The external retaining band (60) holds the sides (22, 42) of the one or more lift bodies (20, 40). The center body (10) has ramp surfaces (11) having a plurality or sets of ramps (11) sloped for allowing upward movement of the one or more lift bodies (20, 40). The sides (22, 42) have complimentary ramp surfaces that fit onto the ramps (11) of the center body (10). The height of the device (100, 300, 600) is increased by upward movement or downward movement or both of the one or more lift bodies (20, 40) driven by the lengthwise movement of the center body (10).

Abstract: An improved spinal fusion system (10) for positioning between a first and second vertebral body, the system (10) has a body (100), a pair of polyaxial fasteners (220) and a locking bridge (102). The distal end has a slotted opening (120) extending through the body (100) and forming a gap extending between the two or more bore holes (110) to form a deflectable bridge (102) spanning the bore holes (110). The bridge (102) has a center opening (50) for receiving a set screw (20) passing through the bridge (102) into a threaded opening (52) in the body. When the set screw (20) is tightened, it deflects the bridge (102) closing the gap as the bridge (102) contacts an exterior surface of each head (210) of the polyaxial fasteners (200). The angulation of each polyaxial screw (200) is adjustable, controlled by the tightening of the set screw. Initial contact of the bridge (102) with the head (210) of the fastener (200) reduces angulation movement of the shank (220) requiring manual manipulation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unique way to provide a self-locking screw opening that has no separate parts. The self-locking feature (20) is formed in the wall (11) of the screw receiver opening (12) and automatically locks a screw (100) from backing out. During insertion of the screw (100) into bone, the screw head (110) passes one or more, preferably two nubs (20) or one or more projections (20) formed into the surface wall (11) of the receiver opening (12), and as the screw (100) is threaded into the bone, the screw head (110) contacts the nubs (20) or projection (20) and the screw (100) is deflected slightly in a direction opposite the nubs (20) or projection (20) allowing the screw head (110) to pass by the nubs (20) or projection (20) locking the screw (100) from backing out.
