Patent number: 11304732Abstract: A bone screw assembly includes a fastener including a shaft and a head disposed on the shaft. The fastener is configured to be anchored within a subject's bone. A receiving assembly is configured to be movably mounted on the head of the fastener. The receiving assembly includes a receiver disposable around at least a portion of the head of the fastener and defining a channel for receiving a rod member therein. A retaining ring is disposed within the receiver for holding the head of the fastener in the receiver. An insert is disposed in the receiver above the retaining ring. A saddle is disposed in the receiver above the insert. The saddle defines a cradle for seating the rod member in the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: CORELINK, LLCInventors: Mike Mueller, Adam MacMillan

Patent number: 9393057Abstract: In accordance with one aspect, an instrument is provided that permits the precise delivery of bone fusion material, such as autograft or allograft material, to one or more bones during surgical procedures. In another aspect, a system and a method are also provided for percutaneous delivery of bone fusion material, such as morselized autograft or bone graft, in a minimally invasive approach through one or more relatively small incisions in a patient. In yet another aspect, an expansion device is provided having an internal compartment and being shiftable between an insertion configuration and an expanded configuration. Bone fusion material may be injected into the internal compartment of the expansion device and travel therealong for bonding to one or more bones approximate the expansion device.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: PIONEER SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Adam MacMillan, Richard Nussbaum

Patent number: 9370608Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions useful in regeneration of connective tissue, particularly bone. The compositions comprise a continuous matrix formed of a polypeptide crosslinked with a second polymer and further comprise particles of a porous, osteoconductive material dispersed in the continuous matrix. The composition can be provided in a dehydrated form. The disclosure further provides methods of preparing the composition in a clinically useful form, methods of using the composition in regenerating bone, and kits including the composition.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: RTI Surgical Inc.Inventors: Francis Vincent Lamberti, Ronald Stewart Hill, Adam MacMillan, Edward Ahn, Brian Schlossberg, Stephen Capistron, William H.
