  • CLOT RETRIEVER CLEANING FOR REINSERTION
    Publication number: 20220280184
    Abstract: A clot retrieval cleaning instrument can have bristles, fluid sprays, or other techniques to liberate captured clot material from a clot retrieval device so that it can be reinserted into a patient's vasculature for successive capture attempts. The cleaning instrument can be conveniently integrated or connected to a hemo stasis valve assembly so that the cleaning function can be performed without completely removing the clot retrieval device from the delivery system. Aspiration can be applied to remove the freed thrombus material. The cleaning instrument can be removable from the delivery system to facilitate the instrument's washing or disposal.

  • Intervertebral implant
    Patent number: 11432942
    Abstract: An adjustable spinal fusion intervertebral implant is provided that can comprise upper and lower body portions that can each have proximal and distal wedge surfaces disposed at proximal and distal ends thereof. An actuator shaft disposed intermediate the upper and lower body portions can be actuated to cause proximal and distal protrusions to converge towards each other and contact the respective ones of the proximal and distal wedge surfaces. Such contact can thereby transfer the longitudinal movement of the proximal and distal protrusions against the proximal and distal wedge surfaces to cause the separation of the upper and lower body portions, thereby expanding the intervertebral implant. The upper and lower body portions can have side portions that help facilitate linear translational movement of the upper body portion relative to the lower body portion.

  • Intravascular implant deployment system
    Patent number: 11432822
    Abstract: An example system for deploying an intrasaccular implant to occlude an aneurysm can include the intrasaccular implant with a securing ring thereon, a pusher, a securing wire with an extended securing feature thereon, and a pull wire. The system can be sized to be delivered intravascularly within a microcatheter. During delivery and manipulation of the implant, the securing ring can be held between the pusher and the securing feature of the securing wire with the securing wire and pull wire extended through securing ring. To deploy the implant, the pull wire can be retracted proximally to thereby allow the securing feature to pass through the securing ring and release the implant. The pusher can include a hypotube and/or an extended pushing feature on the securing wire.

  • In-situ intervertebral fusion device and method
    Patent number: 11432938
    Abstract: An orthopedic device for implanting between adjacent vertebrae comprising: an arcuate balloon and a hardenable material within said balloon. In some embodiments, the balloon has a footprint that substantially corresponds to a perimeter of a vertebral endplate. An inflatable device is inserted through a cannula into an intervertebral space and oriented so that, upon expansion, a natural angle between vertebrae will be at least partially restored. At least one component selected from the group consisting of a load-bearing component and an osteobiologic component is directed into the inflatable device through a fluid communication means.

  • Methods and devices for minimally invasive spinal fixation element placement
    Patent number: 11426216
    Abstract: Minimally invasive methods and devices for introducing a spinal fixation element into a surgical site in a patient's spinal column are provided. In general, the method involves advancing a spinal fixation element in a first, lengthwise orientation along a pathway extending from a minimally invasive percutaneous incision to a spinal anchor site. As the spinal fixation element approaches the spinal anchor site, the fixation element can be manipulated to extend in a second orientation, which is preferably substantially transverse to the first orientation, to position the fixation element in relation to one or more spinal anchors.
