  • Publication number: 20120048092
    Abstract: The present application is directed to devices and methods for cutting a spinal implant. In one embodiment, the device includes a handle and a head. The handle is sized to receive a predetermined length of the implant. A head is rotatably attached to the handle and includes a blade. After the implant is inserted into the handle, the head is rotated causing the blade to move around the implant and cut an excessive length from the predetermined length.

  • Patent number: 7674294
    Abstract: An end device attached to an implant and methods of use. The end device comprises a base having a receiving area, an opening, and at least one gate that is selectively positionable between open and closed orientations. The implant is sized to fit through the opening and into the receiving area when the gate is in the open orientation. Once inserted, the gate is sized to extend across at least a section of the opening and prevent the implant from escaping.

  • Patent number: 7621953
    Abstract: The present application is directed to spacing devices that attach directly or indirectly to vertebral implants. The spacing device may include a first side that faces the implant, and an angled second side that faces towards a vertebral member. The angled second side matches the shape of the vertebral member. The devices may further include apertures that receive spikes that extend outward from the implant. The second side may also include spikes that bite into and maintain the position of the device against the vertebral member. In one method of use, the spacing device may be rotated relative to the implant for the angled second side to match the vertebral member. The apertures are then placed over the spikes that extend outward from the implant to connect the spacing device to the implant.
