  • Patent number: 11399964
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an operating instrument for a spinal implant. The operating instrument includes an extension assembly, a central rod, and an operating handle. The extension assembly includes an outer sleeve, and one end of the outer sleeve is connected with a first part of the spinal implant. The central rod passes through the outer sleeve, and one end of the central rod connects to a second part of the spinal implant. The operating handle includes a fixing element, a rotating element, and a pushing element. The rotating element is sleeved on the outer side of the fixing element. The pushing element connects with the central rod, and the rotating element presses against the pushing element. The rotating element is rotated to cause the pushing element to drive the central rod to move the second part, thereby expanding the spinal implant.

  • Patent number: 11253369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a spinal implant structure. The spinal implant structure comprises a first part, a second part and at least one expansion arm. The second part is disposed on the horizontal orientation of the first part and does not overlap with the first part. The diameter of the first part is larger than that of the second part. One end of the expansion arm is connected to the first part, and the other end of the expansion arm is free end. The expansion arm includes a supporting arm. One end of the supporting arm is connected to the expansion arm, and the other end is connected the second part. The support arm includes a plurality of structure weakness. When the distance between the first part and the second part changes, the support arm bends from the structure weakness, thereby the spinal implant structure is expanded.

  • Publication number: 20170056201
    Abstract: The present invention provides an intervertebral fusion apparatus for positioning and combining vertebrae, which use a solidifiable material and an intervertebral fusion cage concurrently. By diffusing the solidifiable material from the top or bottom surface of the intervertebral fusion cage, the contact area with vertebrae and hence the stability can be increased. In addition, the intervertebral fusion cage provided by the present invention can further include a wing member connected pivotally on the side and operated concurrently with the solidifiable material to change the shape and thus avoid slipping off the operation opening. By using the intervertebral fusion apparatus, the stability of the intervertebral fusion cage during and after surgeries can be improved effectively. Thereby, the success rate and safety of vertebral fusion surgeries can be increased.
