  • Publication number: 20170172586
    Abstract: Devices and methods of modifying tissue for low profile and ultra profile rongeur devices to treat spinal tissue. These devices may include a curved or curveable distal region; the cutting member may be configured to operate in the curved region. Also described herein are tissue modification devices that may be flexible or bendable for positioning in the tissue (including the spinal region) but can be made rigid once in position, or otherwise fixed in place to allow leverage when modifying the tissue.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20110106167
    Abstract: An adjustable spinal stabilization system having a flexible connection unit for non-rigid stabilization of the spinal column. In one embodiment, the spinal stabilization system includes a flexible connection unit having a tether running through a hollow portion of the flexible connection unit, wherein the tether limits bending of the flexible connection unit. In a further embodiment the tether is pre-tensioned. In a further embodiment, the tension upon or compression of the tether is adjustable.
