Publication number: 20240058090Abstract: Camera position indication systems and methods are disclosed herein for conveying a camera's position to a user and/or adjusting a camera view display to match a user's perspective during a surgical procedure. In one embodiment, an example method can include receiving an output view from a camera placed within a channel of an access device to view a surgical site within a patient, receiving an input of camera position from a user, and showing on a display the output view from the camera and an indication of camera position based on the input of camera position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Roman Lomeli, Eric Buehlmann, James Paiva, Leonard Bryant Guffey

Publication number: 20230380823Abstract: A retractor member is configured for insertion through a channel of an access member and for moving soft tissue at a treatment site that is accessible through the channel. The retractor includes a body having a proximal end and a distal end and spaced from each other along a longitudinal direction. The distal end defines a retractor blade and the body defines a first surface and a second surface opposite each other along a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The retractor includes an attachment device configured to selectively attach the body to a portion of the access member such that the body is extendable through the working channel while the body is attached to the portion of the access member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Eric Buehlmann, Clara Cheung, Thomas Gamache, Roman Lomeli, Paul S. Maguire, James Paiva, Joern Richter, Daniel Thommen, John C. Voellmicke

Patent number: 11798676Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for surgical and interventional planning, support, post-operative follow-up, and functional recovery tracking. In general, a patient can be tracked throughout medical treatment including through initial onset of symptoms, diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment. In one embodiment, a patient and one or more medical professionals involved with treating the patient can electronically access a comprehensive treatment planning, support, and review system. The system can provide recommendations regarding diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment based on data gathered from the patient and the medical professional(s).Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Namal Nawana, William C.

Patent number: 10426525Abstract: Devices and methods for selectively converting polyaxial bone screws into monoaxial screws are described herein. In one embodiment, a spinal screw extension instrument is provided having an outer component configured to engage a receiving member of a polyaxial screw. The instrument further includes an inner component disposed within an inner lumen of the outer component and configured to translate longitudinally relative to the outer component such that the inner component can apply a distal force to a compression member of the polyaxial screw disposed within a distal portion of the receiving member to thereby convert the polyaxial screw to a monoaxial screw.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Medos International SàrlInventors: Shawn D.

Patent number: 9265538Abstract: A spinal fixation element fixation reduction system is provided herein. In general, the system can include a cap element with a bore having a central axis extending therethrough wherein the cap element is configured to releasably engage any type of surgical device (e.g., an access sleeve, a vertebral body rotator, etc.). Further, the system can include a driver configured to be slidably and removably positioned through the cap element. The system can also include an actuator configured to apply a force to the driver substantially along the central axis of the cap element thereby moving the driver in a distal direction so as to effect reduction of a spinal fixation element into a bone anchor. Additionally, a method of reducing a spinal fixation element into a bone anchor is also provided wherein the method can be performed as a minimally invasive surgical procedure or as an open procedure.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Shawn D.
