Patent number: 9918753Abstract: An implant support comprises a first portion defining a longitudinal axis and a second portion including at least one arm extending from the first portion. The at least one arm includes a part. An extension is engageable with the at least one arm to move the at least one arm between a first position and a second position such that the part is disposed to releasably engage an implant. A lock is disposed with the first portion and connected with the extension. The lock is biased from a first configuration to a second configuration to engage the first portion and resist disengagement of the at least one arm from the second position. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jason M. May, Brian A. Butler, Gary S. Lindemann, James M. Mirda, Joshua W. Simpson

Patent number: 9848920Abstract: A spinal construct comprises a fastener attached with sacral and/or pelvic tissue of a body. A connector is selectively movable in a coronal plane relative to the body. The connector has a first end connected with the fastener and a second end having a locking surface engageable with an implant. A lock element is engageable with the connector and defines an implant cavity. Systems and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventor: James M. Mirda
