  • Patent number: 9017383
    Abstract: An unloading dynamic intervertebral device comprising a first bar and a second bar configured for providing an even, steady and adjustable decompression of the intervertebral interspinous space and for maintaining the distance between at least two vertebrae. The first bar may comprise a guideline with an elongated gap formed therein. The second bar may comprise a guide having at least one tang interposed within the elongated gap of the first bar, such that the first bar and the second bar are rotationally and slidably connected with each other about the tang. An end of the first bar and an opposing end of the second bar may comprise shaped bearings configured for bony elements of the spine. The first and second bar may be movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position.

  • Patent number: 8753400
    Abstract: A prosthesis of an anterior spinal column, comprising a perforated sleeve body (1) with at least one anchoring element, teeth and overgrowth holes and a positioner (2) situated within the body (1). The body (1) has in its wall at least one manipulative hole (6) and at least one positioning hole (7), whose longitudinal axes are parallel with each other. The positioner (2) comprises at least one situating element (8) cooperating with at least one positioning hole (7) of the body (1) and at least one hole (12) formed therethrough, which may be situated radially inward relative to the manipulative hole (6). At least one end face (3) of the body (1) or/and body's wall are provided with at least one pair of opposite guidelines (14,20). For introducing the prosthesis into the intervertebral space, a guiding instrument is used in the form of a rod with a shaped working element (24) at one end. The prosthesis may be implanted with the use of the prosthesis guiding instrument.

  • Patent number: 8556975
    Abstract: A device for use as an implant for surgical displacement of vertebrae, and that is comprised of two parts co-working in a sliding way: a sliding part with an internal thread and a carrier part, and also a driving element with an external thread which is located between the parts, is described. The driving element includes a head and the sliding part of the device includes a threaded guideline cooperating with the driving element and a seat of a diameter corresponding with the head's diameter and length greater than the head's length, and the carrier part has a seat of a diameter and length corresponding with the head's diameter and length.
