Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of vendor management platform architectures are disclosed. A compliance component may be utilized to receive user input data indicating supply contracts between a client and a vendor. The user input data may be utilized to determine insurable obligations associated with the supply contract and provide indications as to whether or not the vendor is compliant with the insurable obligation required by the supply contract. An exposure assessment component may be utilized to determine an exposure score associated with a client account and/or a vendor account based on various compliance factors, spending amounts, and/or properties associated with at least one of goods and/or services that a vendor will supply to a client.

Abstract: Enhanced biologic grafts with packaging apparatuses, and methods of use are disclosed herein. An example apparatus can include a vessel comprising a port that is configured to allow a fluid to be introduced into the vessel and a membrane placed within the vessel. The membrane is lyophilized prior to placement into the vessel. The membrane is sealed within the vessel and the port can be used to introduce a fluid into the vessel to reconstitute the membrane while sealed inside the vessel.

Abstract: A spine stabilization rod assembly comprises a rod and a sleeve member. The rod has a substantially round cross-sectional profile, a one-piece construction, and a substantially straight longitudinal axis. The rod has a reduced diameter segment between two opposing end segments thereof such that a shoulder is defined between the reduced diameter segment and each one of the end segments. The sleeve member is positioned over the reduced diameter segment of the rod. The sleeve member and the rod are coupled to each other such that translation of the sleeve along the rod causes an end portion of the sleeve to engage a corresponding one of the shoulders for limiting such translation.

Abstract: An intervertebral body fusion implant device configured for being engaged between two adjacent vertebrae comprises an implant device body having an upper bone engaging portion and a lower bone engaging portion, a plurality of protrusions extending from each one of the upper and lower bone engaging portions, and a guide rail extending from each one of the bone engaging portions. A passage extends between the upper bone engaging portion and the lower bone engaging portion. The guide rail of each one of the bone engaging portions extends beyond a tip portion of each one of the protrusions thereof. Each one of the guide rails extends substantially parallel with each other one of the guide rails.

Abstract: A clamping body for a pedicle screw assembly has an axial passage extending axially between first and second end portions thereof. The spine rod-receiving channel extends through the first end portion in a traverse direction with respect to the axial passage thereby forming upstanding leg portions of the clamping body and closed end portion of the spine rod-receiving channel. A material thickness reducing relief is provided in an outer surface of each one of the upstanding leg portions at a location between the closed end portion of the spine rod receiving channel and the first end portion of the clamping body whereby the a partial segment of the upstanding leg portions are frangibly detachable. A bridge member is frangibly connected between the upstanding leg portions at the first end portion of the clamping body. The bridge member spans across the spine rod-receiving channel.

Abstract: A bone fixation plate assembly includes an elongated plate having two or more sets of two adjacent screw holes extending between its top and bottom surfaces. A landing extends through the top surface of between the adjacent screw holes of a set. An interior sidewall of each one of the screw holes is spherically shaped. Each one of the screw holes has a minimum diameter at its bottom edge that is less than a minimum diameter at its top edge. An anti-back-out device is fixedly attached to the elongated plate on each one of the landings. Opposing end portions of each anti-back-out device has one or more screw engaging structures integral therewith overhanging an adjacent one of the screw holes at the top edge thereof. The one or more screw engaging structures is deflectable with respect to a mounting portion of a respective one of the anti-back-out devices.
