  • Patent number: 12251325
    Abstract: An adjustable trial spacer system used in spinal surgeries. This system addresses the inefficiencies of traditional trial sizers by introducing a trial base that can be combined with disposable trial caps of varying sizes. The trial base is designed to securely attach to a trial inserter, while the trial caps temporarily enclose the trial base to simulate the final implant. The system's modularity reduces the need for multiple spacer bodies, lowers costs, and improves logistical management in the operating room. Various attachment mechanisms ensure secure fitting during surgical procedures, enhancing precision in determining the appropriate implant size.
