Publication number: 20230157732Abstract: Spinal implants and methods of extending pre-existing spinal implant constructs. An extension clamp may be connected to an original spinal implant including an elongated rod attached to a portion of the spine without removal of the original spinal implant. The extension clamp may include a yoke and an extension rod extending from the yoke. The yoke may include a first end and a second end, the first end having first and second rod engaging portions and a channel between the first and second rod engaging portions for encompassing a fastener, and the second end being spaced apart from the first end. The first and second rod engaging portions may be configured and dimensioned to secure the extension clamp to the elongated rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Andrew Iott, Adam Friedrich, Douglas Cahill, Brad Juchno, Mark Salzberger

Publication number: 20220062007Abstract: A soft tissue repair system is provided for covering or filling openings in the annulus of an intervertebral disc. The soft tissue repair system uses a single plug or a combination of a first plug and a second plug. The second plug is a flowable plug such as an adhesive material or a material that hardens to a flexible plug material. Each plug is configured to close the opening in the annulus and can be positioned within the opening, over the opening at the exterior surface or over the opening at the interior surface. The plug can also be combined with a clamping mechanism that engages the annulus to secure the plug in the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Jody L. Seifert, David C. Paul, Sean Suh, Colm McLaughlin, Marcin Niemiec, Aditya Ingalhalikar, Daniel Davenport, Jamie Carroll, Chad ` Glerum, Edward Dwyer, Noah Hansell, Mark Weiman, Douglas Cahill, Adam Friedrich, Michelle Kofron, Vipin Kunjachan, Ed Reilley, Damien O'Halloran, William S.

Publication number: 20210378842Abstract: An intervertebral spacer inserter includes a sleeve having a longitudinal axis, a hollow sleeve bore extending through the sleeve along the longitudinal axis, a sleeve tip end and an opening of a passage disposed in the sleeve tip end. The passage extends into the sleeve to the sleeve shaft along a passage axis that intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle less than about 90°. A sliding tip with an elongated slot is in contact with the sleeve tip end and is moveable with respect to the sleeve tip end between a first position with the opening accessible through the elongated slot and disposed adjacent a first end of the elongated slot and a second position with the opening accessible through the elongated slot and disposed adjacent a second end of the elongated slot opposite the first end.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Iden Kurtaliaj, Kevin Gahman, Chad Glerum, John Matthews, Douglas Cahill, Ross Morris, Scott Myers, Michael Zweizig, Patrick J.
