Publication number: 20240065854Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Josh Gunn, Jay Yadav, Wayne Gray, Noah Roth, Adam Marrocco

Publication number: 20220233329Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2021Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Adam Marrocco, Josh Gunn
