Patent number: 11737743Abstract: A method of forming an access opening through a psoas muscle to a patient's spine includes laterally inserting a stimulating dilator into the psoas muscle. The stimulating dilator has a stimulation channel formed in an outer surface thereof. An electrical pulse is transmitted into the stimulating dilator to locate a position of a nerve in the patient's psoas muscle. The stimulating dilator is laterally inserted through the psoas muscle and toward the patient's spine in a way that avoids the nerve. A stimulating probe is inserted into the stimulation channel along the outer surface of the stimulating dilator while transmitting an electrical pulse into the stimulating probe to verify the position of the nerve.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Peter Fatone, Brandon Randall

Patent number: 9387009Abstract: Directional sequential and blunt stimulating dilation systems (10) and related methods for accessing a patient's spine (2) though the patient's psoas muscle (4) include sequential directional dilators (30, 40) or a blunt stimulating dilator (100, 100?) with at least one channel formed therein. Neural elements or nerves (9) of the psoas muscle are preferably mapped using a stimulating probe (20). The stimulating probe is inserted through the psoas muscle toward the patient's spine. The directional sequential dilators may be inserted to dilate the tissue on any side of the stimulating probe without significantly impacting tissue on the opposite side of the stimulating probe, which may be located, proximate the neural elements. The dilators are rendered directional by having bores (35, 45), by means of which they can be inserted over each other and over the probe, which are offset from their longitudinal axes (31, 41).Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Peter Fatone, Brandon Randall
