Patent number: 9968386Abstract: An instrument for compression and distraction of a vertebral segment and reducing a surgical rod includes a first arm, a second arm, a coupler, and a reducer. The first arm includes a first aperture for receiving a first screw extender that attaches to a first vertebra. The second arm pivotably couples to the first arm and includes a second aperture for receiving a second screw extender that attaches to a second vertebra. The coupler links the first arm to the second arm to position the first arm relative to the second arm for compression and distraction of the first vertebra relative to the second vertebra. The reducer is received within the second aperture for reducing a surgical rod within the second screw extender.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Alphatec Spine, Inc.Inventors: Jon Wing, Clark Hutton, Garrett Gleeson, Per Freitag

Patent number: 9468474Abstract: An instrument for correction of spinal deformities includes an inner member with a proximal portion configured to receive a corrective force and a distal coupling portion configured to transfer the corrective force to a spinal implant in a vertebra. A slot extends transversely through the coupling portion and is configured to guide a fixation rod into the spinal implant. A threaded sleeve includes an external thread and a thru-bore that slides relative to the proximal portion. An outer member couples with the proximal portion and threadably engages the external thread to apply a reduction force as the outer member rotates relative to the inner member. A reduction blade includes a proximal interlocking portion that removably couples with the threaded sleeve and a distal rod engagement feature configured to engage the fixation rod and transfer the reduction force to reduce the fixation rod into the spinal implant.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Alphatec Spine, Inc.Inventors: Anand Parikh, Garrett Gleeson, Carmen Walters, Jens Peter Timm, Jonathan Costabile, Wally Gillespie, Clark Hutton

Patent number: 8906034Abstract: An orthopedic instrument for compression and distraction of bone segments includes a first receiver, a second receiver, a positioner member, and a guide member. The first receiver includes a first receiver aperture that receives a first screw extender. The second receiver includes a second extender aperture that receives a second screw extender. The positioner member translates the second receiver relative to the first receiver to apply one of a compression and a distraction force on the screw extenders. The guide member parallel to the positioner member guides the second receiver relative to the first receiver.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Alphatec Spine, Inc.Inventors: Garrett Gleeson, Thomas Perry, Nathan Meyer, Anand Parikh, Clark Hutton

Patent number: 8821502Abstract: An instrument for multilevel compression and distraction of vertebrae in a spinal column includes a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, a linking member, and a coupler. The first arm includes a distal end with a first aperture for receiving a first screw extender that attaches to a first vertebra. The second arm includes a distal end with a second aperture for receiving a second screw extender that attaches to a second vertebra. The third arm includes a distal end with a third aperture for receiving a third screw extender that attaches to a third vertebra. The linking member pivotally links proximal ends of the first, second, and third arms. The coupler positions the distal ends of the first arm and the second arm relative to the third arm to compress and distract the first vertebra and the second vertebra relative to the third vertebra.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Alphatec Spine, Inc.Inventors: Garrett Gleeson, Clark Hutton, Nathan Meyer, Anand Parikh
