  • Implant with nested members and methods of use
    Patent number: 8480738
    Abstract: Vertebral implants that may be movable between collapsed and expanded orientations to space apart first and second vertebral members. The implants may include first and second contact surfaces to contact against the vertebral members. The implants may include nested struts. The implants may have a first height measured between the contact surfaces in the collapsed orientation with a first amount of overlap in the struts. The implants may have a second height in the expanded orientation with a lesser amount of overlap in the struts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2013
    Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.
    Inventors: Jason A. Edie, Lloyd Guyton Bowers Cooper, Jerrod Bradley Windham, John Caleb Dawson, Don Byron Walker, II, Barry K. Patterson

  • Implant with nested members and methods of use
    Patent number: 7731752
    Abstract: The application is directed to implants that are adjustable between collapsed and expanded orientations. The collapsed orientation includes a smaller height to facilitate insertion into the patient. The expanded orientation includes a larger height for spacing and/or supporting the vertebral members. The implants generally include three or more separate sections that are nested together in the collapsed orientation. The sections move outward away from each other in the expanded orientation. An expansion means may be operatively connected to one or more of the sections to move the implants between the orientations. Methods of use are also included for moving the implants between the collapsed and expanded orientations.
