Patent number: 11911284Abstract: A curved expandable interbody device for placement between vertebrae having an upper structure, a lower structure, and a screw mechanism, wherein actuation of the screw mechanism moves the upper and lower structures between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. A deployment tool couples to the curved expandable interbody device for positioning the device between adjacent vertebrae and actuating the screw mechanism, wherein the deployment tool can lock to the curved expandable interbody device and pivot relative to the curved expandable interbody device.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Spinal Elements, Inc.Inventors: Edwin Huh, Jason Blain, Taylor Semingson, Nicholas Chen, Ketchen Smith, David Ortiz, Geoffrey Toon, Morton Albert

Publication number: 20220240988Abstract: A modular tulip assembly has a rod receiving tulip and a saddle. The saddle is interlockingly held inside a distal portion of the tulip. The saddle has an external locking groove or recess. The tulip has a locking projection. The locking projection is positioned into the external locking groove or recess and holds the saddle in a pre-loaded unlocked state ready to be pushed onto a head of an implanted bone screw. Upon receiving the head of the bone screw, the saddle can be moved distally relative to the tulip to a locked state by moving the locking groove or recess distally past the locking projection to where the proximal end of the saddle is past abutting the locking projection.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Geoffrey Toon, David Cain, Joshua Gunn

Patent number: RE46840Abstract: A spinal implant revision device has a revision connector and a tulip member. The revision connector is configured for attachment to a pre-existing rod in a patient. The revision connector has a slotted opening configured to receive a first or a pre-existing rod. The tulip member is pivotally connected to the revision connector and movable in angularity within predetermined ranges in a first plane. This first plane is parallel to a rod to which the revision connector is attached. A second plane which is non-parallel to that first plane allows a second or new rod to be received in the tulip and allows the second rod to pivot relative to the first rod.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Amendia, Inc.Inventors: Dale Whipple, Jason Hayes Tillett, William C. Tally, Kaveh Khajavi, Geoffrey Toon
