  • Patent number: 12035953
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for bony fusion are disclosed. A threaded cannulated implant may be inserted into a target space, such as in the sacroiliac joint. The implant may have a distal section, a proximal section, and a central section between the distal section and the proximal section. The distal section may comprise cutting threads and flutes for self-drilling the implant into bone. The proximal section may be configured to couple to an insertion instrument for the implant. The central section may have a lattice structure through which bone graft may flow to promote bone ingrowth. A solid core region may be located inwards from the lattice structure. The central section may also have openings through the core region to connect the lattice structure to the cannula.

  • Publication number: 20240189108
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion are described. At least one posterior SI implant and at least one lateral SI implant may be implanted. The posterior SI implant may be placed in the intra-articular region, and the lateral SI implant may transfix the SI joint such that the lateral SI implant passes through the ilium, across the SI joint, and into the sacrum. The lateral SI implant may compress the SI joint. The lateral SI implant may be inserted through a window in the posterior SI implant to interlock the two implants.

  • Publication number: 20240156611
    Abstract: An intradiscal shield and an exterior shield configured to prevent re-herniation and to provide structural integrity to a spinal defect within or on a spinal disc. An insertion instrument to insert the intradiscal shield within the spinal defect and attach the intradiscal shield or exterior shield to the spinal disc. The insertion instrument having a distal tip for spraying a protein crosslinking reagent within the spinal defect. The exterior shield configured for attaching to the exterior wall of the spinal disc and blocking an exterior opening of the spinal defect.

  • Publication number: 20230329761
    Abstract: An insertion instrument for inserting an implant includes an elongated main body having a proximal handle and a distal portion that selectively couples to the implant. A wing actuation tool is slidably engaged in a central passage of the elongated main body to fix the implant to the elongated main body. The wing actuation tool temporarily attaches to the implant allowing for deployment and retraction of wings of the implant during surgery. Longitudinal translation of the wing actuation tool deploys an actuation plunger of the implant.

  • Publication number: 20230320865
    Abstract: An interbody spacer for a spine includes a housing having a plurality of clearance holes configured to engage bone of the spine. A contact plate including a plurality of apertures is positioned a distance away from the housing configured to engage bone of the spine. A plurality of rivets adjoin the housing and the contact plate. A plurality of springs are included with each spring configured to encircle a respective rivet and translate the distance between the housing and contact plate from a minimum distance to a maximum distance.

  • Publication number: 20230320764
    Abstract: A disposable insertion instrument for inserting an implant includes a handle assembly, a drive assembly, and a plunger assembly. The drive assembly comprises an inner shaft and a spring received within an outer sleeve. A locking pin and drive lobes on the inner shaft cooperate to reversibly lock the drive assembly in a retracted position. A medical implant may be attached to the instrument via an adapter located at a distal end of the drive assembly. Following use for insertion of the medical implant into a patient, the disposable insertion instrument may be discarded.
