Publication number: 20240081876Abstract: Surgical instruments for interfacing with implants can include an inserter configured to dock to a unilateral portion of an implant. The inserter can include a control shaft that is configured to lock or unlock the inserter coupling with the implant. Actuation of the control shaft can occur by way of a knob that can control movement of the control shaft. The inserter can facilitate positioning of the implant relative to a surgical site and allow for application of counter-torque when imparting torque for tightening a set screw, etc. Additional instruments can also be used to manipulate the implant. For example, auxiliary instruments can be coupled to the inserter, such as a reducer instrument, to facilitate rod reduction, etc. Alternatively or in addition, a holder instrument can be used that has a threaded distal engagement feature for coupling to the implant to facilitate positioning thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joseph Peterson, Joseph M. DeLage, Ryan Thomas Andrade, Paul S. Maguire, Ellen Roberts, Michael Sorrenti, Roman Lomeli, Benjamin Robert Powers, Keanan Smith

Patent number: 11918338Abstract: A flexible catheter includes an elongated body, and a sensor. The elongated body has proximal and distal end portions and defines a working channel therethrough. The sensor is disposed in the distal end portion of the elongated body and is adapted for detecting the position of a distal end of the elongated body within the anatomy of a patient. The sensor is formed from a wire that forms a first layer of wraps about the distal end portion of the elongated body and that includes first and second leads that form a twisted pair proximal to the first layer of wraps. The twisted pair of the first and second leads extends to the proximal end portion of the elongated body.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Coviden LPInventors: David M. Costello, Alex A. Peterson, Benjamin Greenburg, Thomas D. Magnuson, Brian T. Stolz

Patent number: 11913642Abstract: The modular tubular exhaust system includes a first tubular body, a second tubular body and at least one third tubular body connecting to form, a fully assembled configuration, a vertically arranged exhaust pipe. The first, the second, and the third tubular bodies each have a tubular body first end and a tubular body second end where the first ends and second ends are configured to mate with each other to form the vertically arranged exhaust pipe. The system further includes tabs that extend radially outward on opposing sides of the tubular bodies to allow a plurality of fasteners to attach tubular bodies together when arranged in the vertical configuration. The assembled configuration may vary within the spirit and scope of the disclosure, for example, in some embodiments, the system may only have a first and a second tubular section or a first, second, and a plurality of third tubular sections.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Morton, Dave Peterson, Keith Gerks
