  • Patent number: 12318312
    Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a chassis, a first driving shaft, a first measuring mechanism, a second measuring mechanism, and a first handle. The chassis defines a first channel and a second channel each extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The first measuring mechanism corresponds to rotation in the first channel. The second measuring mechanism corresponds to rotation in the second channel. The first driving shaft is operable to be inserted into the first channel, engaging with the first measuring mechanism. The first driving shaft has an end portion configured to engage and drive a first adjustable feature and/or a second adjustable feature on a work-piece. The handle is operable to be releasably attached to the first driving shaft for applying torque or operable to remove the first driving shaft from the first channel.

  • Publication number: 20230363926
    Abstract: An apparatus or a system employs a fixation assembly to stabilize and prevent migration of an interbody fusion device placed between adjacent vertebral bodies, and/or provide supplemental fixation of adjacent vertebral bodies. The fixation assembly may include modular fixation plates insertable and attachable to the interbody fusion device in situ. In certain embodiments, the fixation assembly may include a single fixation plate insertable and/or attachable to the interbody fusion device in situ. In certain embodiments, fixation plates are integrally formed with the interbody fusion device.

  • Publication number: 20200005386
    Abstract: Systems and methods for virtually measuring one or more aspects of a subject, e.g., human subject are provided. Based on a plurality of images, e.g., two images, body measurements of a subject may be derived and used to generate a virtual model. The virtual model can be used as a mechanism for modeling virtual clothing for presentation to a user. Characteristics of the clothing, e.g., sizing, colors, etc., can be rendered on the virtual model providing the user with an accurate virtual reality fitting room experience.
