Patent number: 11654028Abstract: A tissue fixation implant that includes leading fixation and trailing fixation members, each fixation member having a proximal head and an elongate shank with a distal tip, and each fixation member adapted to at least partially contact the other fixation member at one or more points along their respective lengths. The tissue fixation implant includes a proximal inter-engagement feature for fixedly engaging each of the two fixation members relative to one another when engaged within tissue, including bone tissue, soft tissue, and combinations of these, and has an interior chamber suitable for receiving osteogenic material to enhance new bone growth and fusion of the fixation implant within bone.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: CUTTING EDGE SPINE LLCInventors: John Souza, Kyle Kuntz

Patent number: 10842511Abstract: A surgical guide assembly for selecting a target site for insertion of a fixation implant, the surgical guide used in conjunction with fluoroscopy or other x-ray-based imaging for selecting a target site into bone based upon a rendered radiographic image of the bone. The guide includes a planar radiolucent guide tool with radiopaque markers and seats for accommodating securement components that can be engaged in apertures within securement seats of the radiolucent guide tool and contacted or positioned adjacent target bone for establishing a path to a bone target to guide the placement of an implant relative to a reference point, such as a first implant. In the guide tool may include visual indicia corresponding with one or more of the securement seats.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: CUTTING EDGE SPINE LLCInventors: Shyam Patel, Kyle Kuntz
