Publication number: 20230149058Abstract: An expandable implant system is configured to increase the height of a target bone, for instance that has been subjected to a compression fracture. The expandable implant system includes an implant assembly that can be inserted into the target bone, and subsequently expanded so as to increase the height of the target bone. The expandable implant system further includes an and insertion assembly that is configured to create an insertion channel into the target bone, such that the implant assembly can be inserted in a collapsed configuration into the target bone along the insertion channel, and subsequently expanded.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventor: Jacques Teisen

Patent number: 10864085Abstract: Coiled spinal implants for disc, vertebral body, and spinal motion segment replacement or reconstruction comprise a plurality of loops and spaces between the loops, with the loops formed of a hollow material and having a plurality of apertures or a longitudinal gap that extend(s) through the sidewalls of the loops and into the hollow center. The coiled implants include one or more balloons within the hollow center, the spaces between the coil loops, and/or within the central void that the coil surrounds. Filling the balloon expands the loops and thereby increases the height of the coil. Bone graft material or bone cement may be deployed from the apertures or gap.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Joern Richter, Jacques Teisen

Patent number: 10729476Abstract: An interspinous process spacer for implantation in an interspinous space between a superior spinous process and an inferior spinous process includes a balloon-like body, a first deployable protrusion and a second deployable protrusion. The body has a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends. The spacer is arrangeable in an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. The first deployable protrusion is mounted proximate the proximal end and the second deployable protrusion is mounted proximate the distal end. The first and second deployable protrusions are oriented generally parallel to the longitudinal axis in the unexpanded configuration and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in the expanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Thommen, Markus Weber, Jacques Teisen, Markus Kraft, Florian Kaufmann, Markus Hunziker, Felix Aschmann, Stefan Saladin, Martin Oswald, Roman Randegger

Patent number: 10105116Abstract: A fracture mobility testing system is provided for use in surgical procedures for augmenting vertebral bodies having collapsed due to compression fractures. The testing system is utilized to determine if the cortical shell of the vertebral body has begun to heal over the fracture lines to the point at which height restoration is not possible. Depending on the feedback provided by the testing system, the surgeon may elect to proceed with any of a variety of known height restoration techniques if the fractured portions of the vertebral body are still mobile, or may elect for a simple vertebroplasty procedure without height restoration if the feedback from the testing system determines that the cortical outer portions of the fractured vertebral body have fused to one another to the point at which height restoration is no longer an option.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Gregor Feigenwinter, Jacques Teisen
