  • Publication number: 20240065854
    Abstract: An example expandable interbody device can include a structural body having an upper endplate and a lower endplate, where the endplates are shaped to nest tightly in a closed position. The device can include at least one wedge block and at least one linkage block arranged between the upper and lower endplates of the structural body. The device can include a drive screw threaded through the at least one wedge block and the at least one linkage block. The drive screw can be configured to rotate and drive the at least one wedge block to expand the upper and lower endplates of the structural body from the closed position to an intermediate position. Additionally, the drive screw can be further configured to rotate and drive the at least one linkage block to expand the upper and lower endplates of the structural body from the intermediate position to an open position.

  • Publication number: 20220233329
    Abstract: An example expandable interbody device can include a structural body having an upper endplate and a lower endplate. The device can include at least one wedge block and at least one linkage block arranged between the upper and lower endplates. The linkage block can include a plurality of linkages and a shear pin disposed at a respective proximal end of each of the linkages. The device can include a drive screw extending through the wedge and linkage blocks. The drive screw can be configured to rotate and drive the wedge block to expand the upper and lower endplates of the structural body from the closed position to an intermediate position. Additionally, the drive screw can be further configured to rotate and drive the linkage block to expand the upper and lower endplates of the structural body from the intermediate position to an open position.

  • Patent number: 10869680
    Abstract: A medical positioning bracket is described that provides users with the ability to attach and secure multiple bone tunnel drill guides into a single working unit. Users can manipulate each drill guide independently and lock the drill guides at desired locations relative to one another to achieve precise bone tunnel angles and locations.
