Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A surgical implant includes a body portion, a first tier, and a second tier. The first tier is attached to an upper surface of the body portion, and the second tier is attached to a lower surface of the body portion. Each of the upper surface and the lower surface of the body portion includes channels formed therein. The first tier includes a first layer including a plurality of first slats and a second layer including a plurality of second slats, where the plurality of first slats and the plurality of second slats intersect one another to form openings therebetween. The second tier includes a third layer including a plurality of third slats and a fourth layer including a plurality of fourth slats, where the plurality of third slats and the plurality of fourth slats intersect one another to form openings therebetween.

Abstract: An interspinous implant comprises a first member and a second member. The members define a pathway. A third member is movable along the pathway relative to the first member and the second member. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A spinal implant comprises a body including an inner surface that defines a cavity. The inner surface includes a baffle. The body is disposable between a contracted configuration and an in vivo expandable configuration. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A surgical injection device comprises a longitudinal element. A first member is disposed with the longitudinal element and includes a mating surface. A second member is disposed with the longitudinal element and includes a mating surface engageable with the mating surface of the first member. A valve is disposed with the members and axially translatable relative to the members between a vent position and a seal position. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a body having an actuator and being connectable with a pressurized fluid source. A first member is connected with the body and the fluid source. The first member is configured for connection with an implant disposable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. A second member defines a cavity configured for disposal of the first member and the expandable implant. The second member is connected with the actuator for selective translation relative to the first member to position the implant in the contracted configuration. Systems, implants and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A spinal implant comprises a first member. A fastener is connected with the first member. A second member includes a deformable element engageable with the fastener such that the second member is translatable relative to the fastener in a first axial direction and translation of the second member relative to the fastener in a second axial direction is resisted and/or prevented. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A spinal implant includes a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes an inner surface defining a tapered passageway. A tapered collet is configured for disposal in the tapered passageway. The tapered collet has an inner surface defining a passageway configured for disposal of a longitudinal member. The tapered collet is configured to translate within the tapered passageway between a non-locking orientation in which the longitudinal member is moveable relative to the tapered collet and a locking orientation in which the longitudinal member is fixed relative to the tapered collet.

Abstract: A spinal fixation system includes a first plate, a post fixedly attached to the first plate and extending transverse therefrom. A second plate receives the distal end of the post. A locking mechanism is configured to restrict at least one of axial translation and/or orbital rotation of the second plate with respect to the post. The locking mechanism can include a locking nut having two non-concentric cylinders which enable an interference fit between the nut and the post, thus restricting axial translation of the second plate.
