Patent number: 9050138Abstract: A vertebral rod connector includes a first portion configured to engage a fastener construct and define a first longitudinal axis. A second portion is configured to engage a vertebral rod and define a second longitudinal axis disposed transverse to the first longitudinal axis. A flexible linking portion is disposed for connecting the first portion with the second portion. The linking portion has a bifurcated configuration oriented transverse to the first longitudinal axis. Methods of use are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Carlos E. Gil, Jason Michael May, Aleksandr G. Zolotov, Joshua W. Simpson

Patent number: 8231659Abstract: A system for anchoring at least a portion of material to a vertebral body is disclosed. The anchoring system comprises a base configured to affix to the vertebral body and configured to receive the at least a portion of material, and an anchoring mechanism configured to engage with the base and configured to anchor the at least a portion of material, wherein the mechanism comprises at least one elastic element configured to apply pressure to the at least a portion of material so as to anchor the at least a portion of material to the base. Also, a method for attaching at least a portion of material to bone is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Warsaw OrthopedicInventor: Aleksandr G. Zolotov

Patent number: 8216245Abstract: Apparatus for applying sustained tension on tether in treatment site includes a positioning mechanism, gripping mechanism and pressurized fluid actuated mechanism. The positioning mechanism is operable to position the pressurized fluid actuated mechanism at a fixed distance relative to treatment site, and to engage a target at treatment site and secure the tether proximate to the target. The gripping mechanism is operable to selectively grip the tether and maintain tether when tether is held in tension. The pressurized fluid actuated mechanism is selectively operable to apply desired pulling force on gripping mechanism directed away from treatment site so as to transmit and apply in a sustained manner the desired pulling force on the tether independently from the tether displacement and place it under desired level of tension while the tether is being secured.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Warsaw OrthopedicInventors: Carlos E. Gil, Aleksandr G. Zolotov, Jason M. May

Patent number: 8211151Abstract: An apparatus for attachment to a vertebral body for correcting spinal deformities. The apparatus has a plate member having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface having at least one receiving member defining a channel for receiving a flexible connection member. The at least one receiving member having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal and distal portions interfacing along a frangible connection such that the at least one receiving member extends axially from the upper surface a first distance when the frangible connection is unbroken and the at least one receiving member extends axially from the upper surface a second distance when the frangible connection is broken. The second distance is less than the first distance.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Warsaw OrthopedicInventors: Frank J. Schwab, Carlos E. Gil, Jason Michael May, Aleksandr G. Zolotov
