Publication number: 20230293314Abstract: An interbody system including an implant and a tool for inserting and expanding the medical implant and locking the implant in place is disclosed. The medical implant may include an expandable body defined by a superior endplate and an inferior endplate that are hingedly coupled and may be expanded and lordosed. The superior and inferior endplate may include gripping protrusions that mate and/or directly engage with recessed jaws of disclosed surgical tool. The surgical tool may include a vertically movable jaw to expand and contract the implant when engaged with the gripping protrusions of the implant. The surgical tool may also include a drive portion that engages the drive feature of the lock screw with the drive end of the surgical tool lock the implant while in an expanded position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Darren L.

Publication number: 20230240693Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a first member defining an axis and having a scraping surface configured to scrape tissue. A second member includes a cutting surface that is rotatable relative to the first member. The second member has a maximum length defined by opposite end surfaces of the second member. The end surfaces are each disposed within the first member. A third member includes an outer surface defining at least a portion of a passageway configured for disposal of the scraped tissue. The third member is fixed with the first member. The cutting surface is rotatable relative to the third member to transfer the scraped tissue along the axis. Systems and methods are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC INC.Inventors: Darren L. Davis, Eric C. Lange

Patent number: 11666453Abstract: A surgical implant and a method for the making the surgical implant is provided. The surgical implant includes various granules incorporated into an upper surface and a lower surface of a body portion thereof. The granules can be pressed into the upper surface and the lower surface via physical force using at least one mold portion. The physical force applied by the at least one mold portion can deform and/or extrude the upper surface and the lower surface to impregnate these surfaces with the granules. The granules can provide the implant with bioresorbable and/or mechanically-reinforced properties.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Darren L. Davis, Eric C. Lange, Anthony J. Melkent
