Abstract: Disclosed is a device for tightly gripping on the spinous process, installed between two spinous processes, with a horizontal hole through the main body, and two arc-shaped side plates connecting onto two ends of the main body, each plate having a through hole, and fastening on the spinous process, and a centrally placed item passing through a horizontal hole of the main body thereby connecting the main body and the two plates, and firmly fastened by a single or plurality of fastening items on one or two sides of the centrally placed item. Furthermore, the centrally placed item having at least one fixed hole section, and when the fastening items move toward the main body and tighten, the two plates change shape, putting pressure on the upper and lower gripping section of the two plates, this upper and lower gripping section therefore more firmly gripping on the spinous process.

Abstract: A method of connecting a transverse beam at a triangular position of a vertebral lamina applied to a position below a spinous process of a vertebral body and above a lamina of vertebral arch comprises the steps of passing a marked position of a lamina of vertebral arch into a transverse hole; passing a transverse rod into the transverse hole and connecting a connecting element at both ends of the transverse rod separately; connecting a vertical rod to a vertical connecting hole of each connecting element; and connecting and fixing another end of the vertical rod to another vertebral body or between vertebral bodies by a fixing element.

Abstract: An interspinous process distraction device includes a male distraction element and a female distraction element, which both have a clamping portion for fixedly pushing and rejecting the interspinous processes and also respectively have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion connected at the other end of the clamping portion. Here, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are paired for blocking with each other so as to form the interspinous process distraction device capable of having an opposite rotation. Besides, through clamping two interspinous processes which stress the nerve by the male distraction element and the female distraction element and rotating them to oppositely rotate, the two interspinous processes can therefore be moved to be in alignment as the normal condition.

Abstract: An intervertebral filling for cervical vertebrae end-plates includes a supporting body, and a buffer layer surrounding the supporting body. The supporting body has a Shore A hardness of 50-80 and the buffer layer has a Shore A hardness of 20-45. The supporting body has a height greater than that of the buffer layer, so that the supporting body protrudes about 1 mm to 3 mm from the buffer layer at two opposite ends thereof.

Abstract: A spinal fixation device is disclosed, which includes a flexible cable; a plurality of components disposed on the flexible cable; and a plurality of fixing nails, wherein the flexible cable may be movingly received by the fixing nails after it has been fitted with the components, and a screw may be used to secure the flexible cable along with the components onto the fixing nails; wherein two neighboring components disposed on the flexible cable are connected with an adjustable angle.

Abstract: An intervertebral filling includes a supporting body, a buffer layer covering the supporting body and at least two positioning pins, each positioning pin has a sharp end exposed out of the buffering layer, and the intervertebral filling uses this sharp ends of the positioning pins to stay in two adjacent spinal vertebrae end-plates. The supporting body is a little harder than the buffer layer and is used for sharing stress in the spine, providing a strong support. Consequently, the intervertebral filling of the present invention remains stably positioned between the two adjacent spinal vertebrae end-plates without undergoing displacement.
