Abstract: A fixation device and method stabilizers at least one bone of a patient. The device includes a connector with one end defining a screw fixator configured to receive an anchoring screw and a securing cap configured to maintain the screw in the screw fixator.

Abstract: Novel devices and systems are provided to provide safe navigation through cancellous bone marrow spaces attendant to the harvesting of bone marrow. In accordance with a featured embodiment, these comprise a rigid, self re-directing stylet having a proximal, mating end for cooperating with a cannula handle together with a distal end having a convex geometry, such as a dome.

Abstract: This present invention relates to interbody spinal implants and methods of using such implants. Certain embodiments of the present invention are particularly suitable for placement using an anterior surgical approach. Certain embodiments of the present invention include a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing lateral sides, and opposing anterior and posterior portions. Interbody spinal implants, as now taught, further include roughened surface topography on at least a portion of its top surface and/or bottom surface. Preferred embodiments of the interbody spinal implant are substantially hollow and have a generally oval-shaped transverse cross-sectional area. Preferred embodiments of further include at least one aperture that extends the entire height of the implant body. This vertical aperture also defines a transverse rim having greater posterior thickness than anterior thickness.

Abstract: An apparatus for the delivery of a biological composite and a method, kit, and system for preparing a biological composite is described herein. The biological composite includes both inorganic and biological materials.

Abstract: Certain preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to surgical instruments particularly suitable for preparing vertebral endplates during spinal interbody surgical procedures. Methods of using such instruments are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the surgical instrument includes a first portion which serves as a rasp, and a second portion serving as a device guide for a reaming device.
