  • Corpectomy implants with roughened bioactive lateral surfaces
    Patent number: 11510786
    Abstract: Implants for vertebral body or functional spinal unit replacement comprise a bioactive surface roughening on one or more of the anterior, posterior, and lateral surfaces of the implant. The bioactive surface includes macro-, micro-, and nano-scale structural features that contact vertebral bone that lines a specialized channel in a vertebrae, and thereby facilitate bone growth and osteointegration of the implant with the vertebral bone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2022
    Assignee: TITAN SPINE, INC.
    Inventors: Peter F. Ullrich, Jr., Chad J. Patterson, Eric Kennedy, Carmie A. Thompson, III

  • Implant fixation assemblies having a screw and C-shaped fixation collar
    Patent number: 9421053
    Abstract: A system for anchoring implants to bones comprises a screw and fixation collar that when connected together inhibit axial movement of the screw and that when connected to an implant with a compatibly shaped aperture inhibit the screw's ability to back out from the bone and back out from the implant. The fixation collar includes a substantially C-shaped configuration partially surrounding a void, with first and second ends defining a gap that is slightly narrower in width than the diameter of the screw and being partially flexible to allow compression and expansion of the fixation collar to snap fit the collar around the screw.
