  • Orthopedic implant insertion instrument
    Patent number: 10959858
    Abstract: An insertion instrument for inserting an implant in an intervertebral space is provided. The instrument includes a housing with an inner shaft with a device holder on the distal end and a locking lever on a shaft pin on the proximate end. The device holder has a gripping surface that engages the implant through an actuating mechanism through the locking lever. The instrument is operable to insert the implant into a vertebral space through impaction and is extracted without disturbing the placement of the implant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 30, 2021
    Assignee: NOVUM MEDICAL, INC.

  • Resorbable interbody device
    Patent number: 9775721
    Abstract: A spinal interbody device fabricated of fully resorbable bioactive glass materials is used to maintain the intervertebral spacing in a fusion of adjacent vertebrae. The spinal interbody device can include regions of porous material having various levels of bioactivity so that fusion through ingrowth of bone tissue can be provided while regions of the spinal interbody device can continue to maintain the intervertebral space.

  • Devices and method for tissue engineering
    Patent number: 9066998
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a bioactive porous tissue scaffold is herein provided. Bioactive materials having a composition of biologically active materials that define a group of surface reactive glass, glass-ceramic, and ceramic materials that most commonly include a range of silicate, borate, and phosphate-based glass systems. These materials typically exhibit a narrow working range that require heating methods that use pore former combustion to control thermal variations during processing.
