Patent number: 11654033Abstract: A distractible intervertebral implant configured to be inserted in an insertion direction into an intervertebral space that is defined between a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body is disclosed. The implant may include a first body and a second body. The first body may define an outer surface that is configured to engage the first vertebral body, and an opposing inner surface that defines a rail. The second body may define an outer surface that is configured to engage the second vertebral body, and an inner surface that defines a recess configured to receive the rail of the first body. The second body moves in a vertical direction toward the second vertebral body as the second body is slid over the first body and the rail is received in the recess.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Jann-Paul Suedkamp, Sean Saidha, Philipp Brun

Patent number: 10413336Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for enlarging a spinal canal of a vertebra. Using the methods and systems disclosed the spinal canal of the vertebra is enlarged by cutting the posterior arch portion of the vertebra to create one or two implant receiving spaces in the posterior arch portion. The cutting of the posterior arch portion is completed through a minimally invasive approach. Once cut, the detached portion of the posterior arch portion is repositioned and an implant is positioned in the implant receiving space of the posterior arch portion to thereby enlarge the spinal canal such that the spinal cord is no longer compressed. The insertion of the implant is also completed through a minimally invasive approach.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: David Koch, Simon Kamber, Reto Halbeisen, Lukas Giger, Michael Guetlin, Felix Aschmann, Jann-Paul Suedkamp, Marco Messias, Tom Overes, Bruno Laeng, Roger Berger, Joern Richter
