Patent number: 9610170Abstract: The implant includes two side walls resting against the vertebral end-plates and an intermediate wall joining the supporting walls. The implant can be deformed for insertion between the vertebrae to be treated to restore the attenuated mobility of the vertebrae, and includes mounting elements mounting on the vertebrae. The side walls have a curved shape, whose convexity is oriented towards the outside of the implant; the intermediate wall has a curved shape, whose convexity is oriented towards the outside of the implant such that it does not form any pronounced angles with the supporting side walls. The supporting side walls and the intermediate wall, have a partially oval shape; and the mounting elements are configured such that the implant can be mounted on the vertebrae.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: PARADIGM SPINE, LLCInventors: Guy Matge, Jean-Jacques Martin

Patent number: 9452064Abstract: The invention relates to a spinal implant composed of a plurality of parallel plates. The deliberate introduction of contours in the plates allows for the creation of biomechanically advantageous functions and adjustment options. The elasticity of the anchoring elements enables the disclosed implant to be adjusted to the osseous endplates, resulting in uniform force distribution and thus prevention of the risk of compaction or endplate compression fracture. The plate structure allows for the use of production methods in which hook-like undercut contours can be created, thus enabling the implant to be superbly anchored in the bone without causing damage thereto. Furthermore, the plates can be interconnected by an actuator in such a way that the height and/or the angular position can be adjusted. The vertical adjustment can vary along the length of the implant such that the segment can also be angularly adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: ACES INGENIEURGESELLSCHAFT MBHInventors: Frank Trautwein, Frank Heuer, Jorg Franke, Ralph Kothe, Ulf Liljenqvist, Guy Matge, Michael Putzier

Patent number: 9283011Abstract: The invention relates to an implant in the form of a bone-connecting device with an implant carrier, having at least two structure carriers for stimulating bone growth, the structure carriers can move relative to one another so that, due to a loading of the implant, a relative movement of the structure carriers occurs, the structure carriers furthermore contain structure elements that are arranged so that they define a plurality of partially open intermediate spaces, wherein a volume defined by these intermediate spaces and an immediate environment is deformed by the implant load, and a strain in the intermediate spaces and its immediate environment resulting from the deformation lies in the physiological range for bone growth.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: ACES INGENIEURGESELLSCHAFT MBHInventors: Frank Heuer, Frank Trautwein, Jörg Franke, Michael Putzier, Ralph Kothe, Guy Matgé, Ulf Liljenqvist
