Publication number: 20250120824Abstract: A system for inserting an implant into an intervertebral space may include an implant inserter having first and second arms, and a first retention member. The first and second arms may be moveable between a locked configuration, in which the first and second arms are spaced apart such that the arms are locked in place relative to the implant, and a compressed configuration, in which the first and second arms are less spaced apart such that the arms are withdrawable from the implant. The retention member may be moveable between a locked position, in which the first retention member blocks relative motion of the first and second arms from the locked configuration to the compressed configuration, and an unlocked position, in which the first retention member does not block relative motion of the first and second arms from the locked configuration to the compressed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Applicant: Elevation Spine, Inc.Inventor: Erik EMSTAD

Patent number: 12121455Abstract: An implant and method for fusing adjacent spinal vertebrae is disclosed. In an embodiment for a spinal implant of the present invention, the implant includes a spacer body assembly and two retention members. The two retention members each include split fork tangs wherein the tangs of each retention member are simultaneously extendable from the spacer body assembly into the adjacent vertebra. A method of fusing adjacent vertebrae includes the step of inserting an implant between adjacent vertebrae with retention members. The method also includes the step of configuring the retention members wherein a portion of each tang of a retention member simultaneously extends from the implant into one of the adjacent vertebra.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2022Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Elevation Spine, Inc.Inventors: Charles Gilbride, Trevor Lewis, Andrew Fauth
