Publication number: 20220370209Abstract: An intervertebral implant for insertion into an intervertebral disc space between two adjacent vertebral bodies of a human or animal spine. The intervertebral implant has an implant top side, which defines a first vertebral body abutment face for abutting against a first vertebral body, and an implant bottom side, which defines a second vertebral body abutment face for abutting against a second vertebral body. The intervertebral implant comprises a frame structure with at least two support elements. The at least two support elements extend from the implant top side to the implant bottom side. The at least two support elements define support element longitudinal axes, which run transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the first and/or second vertebral body abutment face.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Susanne Klingseis, Irene Marx, Patricia Graf, Julian Reck, Marie Salome Knubben-Belik, Mandy Kleinwechter

Patent number: 11154287Abstract: A stent retractor has a radially flexibly expandable tubular sheath divided in the peripheral direction into at least two sections, specifically a reinforcing section and an expanding section, with radial flexibilities that differ from one another, these sections being interconnected integrally. The stent retractor includes axial segments that are connected by a puzzle-type connection allowing simple separation or length adjustment in the axial direction (including when in situ) while also being made integrally, for example by a laser or water jet cutting method, preferably from a tubular blank.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: AESCULAP AGInventors: Jens Beger, Susanne Klingseis, Christian Grimm, Mario Serpa

Patent number: 9498346Abstract: An implant is provided which allows for widening of the vertebral canal of vertebrae with less stress on the patient than in heretofore customary surgical procedures, wherein the vertebral arch of a vertebra is cut through, forming an incision gap, or is partially removed and the implant is inserted in the incision gap, wherein the incision gap is bounded by incision faces opposed to each other and the implant comprises an implant body having two contact faces which in the inserted state in the incision gap contact the incision faces of the vertebral arch.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2013Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Jens Beger, Ralph Linke, Petr Suchomel, Susanne Klingseis

Patent number: 9421040Abstract: A system for anchoring a pedicle screw in a patient's vertebra uses a pedicle screw having a threaded portion sinkable in the vertebral arch. The space between the threaded portion and cortical edge layer of the pedicle is at least partially filled by a spacer that enables an all-round support of the threaded portion at the cortical edge layer. A kit includes a pedicle screw and a spacer which at least partially fills the space between the threaded portion and cortical edge layer of the pedicle. A spacer has an essentially oval cross-section for form-locking fit in a corresponding axial recess sunk in the pedicle and having an axial through-hole to accommodate the threaded portion of a pedicle screw, as well as a spacer in the form of an essentially cylindrical pedicle augmentation in the form of a bone screw or a bone bracket.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Jens Beger, Susanne Klingseis

Patent number: 9351781Abstract: To provide a method with which expansion of the vertebral canal of vertebrae is possible with less stress for the patient than with the surgical methods used to date, it is proposed that herein the vertebral arch be split and an incision gap thereby be formed, and the incision gap bounded by opposed incision surfaces be expanded to a prescribed gap width and the bone substance of the resulting vertebral arch sections thereby be elastically/plastically deformed.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2012Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Jens Beger, Ralph Linke, Petr Suchomel, Susanne Klingseis

Publication number: 20130253585Abstract: A surgical fixation system for stabilizing spinous processes of adjacent vertebral bodies relative to one another comprising at least one first fixing element and at least one second fixing element, which can be transferred relative to one another from an insertion position into an implantation position, wherein the fixing elements in the implantation position have a smaller spacing from one another than in the insertion position and in which implantation position the fixing elements are engageable laterally from different sides with at least one of the spinous processes in each case, and comprising a securing device for securing the fixing elements relative to one another in the implantation position and comprising at least one spacer element, which can be fixed by the fixing elements in the implantation position thereof in the intervertebral space between the spinous processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: Aesculap AGInventors: Rolando GARCIA, Alexander Hass, Jens Beger, Susanne Klingseis, Robert Schultz, Claudia Vollmer, Wolfgang Daiber, Roland Hoegerle, Christian Praedel, Johannes Wimber

Patent number: 8328814Abstract: A surgical guiding instrument for a surgical machining tool has a substantially elongated instrument body having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinal axis. The instrument body carries a guiding device for the machining tool that can be used in minimally invasive surgery. The guiding device is arranged and constructed so as to enable the machining tool to be positively guided by it along a path of movement defined by the guiding device. The path of movement corresponds to a superimposed translational-pivotal movement.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Susanne Klingseis, Kay Fischer, Uwe Mattes

Patent number: 8313513Abstract: In order to improve an implant for the dorsal stabilization of a human or animal spinal column, comprising an attachment device for placing in position against and/or fixing to spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae of the spinal column, such that it can be used for the dynamic dorsal stabilization of the spinal column, it is suggested that the implant comprise at least one spacer element which is associated with the attachment device and designed in such a manner that it alters its external shape and/or its elastic properties as a result of a change in ambient conditions and/or forces acting on it. Furthermore, an improved implant system for the dorsal stabilization of a human or animal spinal column is suggested.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Jens Beger, Susanne Klingseis
