  • EXPANDABLE VERTEBRAL IMPLANT
    Publication number: 20190314162
    Abstract: Expandable implants for engagement between vertebrae generally include an inner member, outer member, and gear member positioned coaxial with respect to each other such that the inner and outer members are moveable relative to each other along an axis. The gear member is axially fixed to the outer member and freely rotatable with respect to the outer member and the gear member threadedly engages a threaded portion of the inner member to translate inner member along the axis. The implant is configured to engage the vertebrae in a predetermined alignment and the gear member includes gear teeth exposed to the exterior and configured to be accessible by a tool member at a plurality of angular positions around the perimeter of the implant device.

  • CENTER LORDOTIC MESH CAGE
    Publication number: 20190224023
    Abstract: An implant assembly including a curved mesh cage and angled endplates. The implant assembly offers a safe and secure mesh cage while providing lordosis/kyphosis angling at the center of the construct instead of at the end of the cage only. One or more angled endplates may be included which allow the surgeon to make a construct unique to the patient's anatomy. The endplates press-fit into corresponding holes in the mesh cage for a secure fit.

  • Treatment of heavy oil cuttings for disposal
    Patent number: 10161204
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to stabilized drill cuttings and a process to stabilize the drill cuttings recovered from drilling a well. The cuttings are mixed with an emulsifier and waxy binding agent and then passed through a centrifuge to separate the stabilized drill cuttings from liquid. The stabilized drill cuttings can then be disposed in a suitable landfill. The stabilized cuttings may also be processed to remove oil and/or bitumen from them, prior to disposal.

  • Expandable vertebral implant
    Patent number: 10130489
    Abstract: An expandable implant for engagement between vertebrae includes an inner member, an outer member, and a gear member positioned coaxial with respect to each other such that the inner and outer members are moveable relative to each other along an axis. The inner member includes a longitudinal groove configured to engage a pin extending through the outer member such that the pin prevents the inner member from translating completely through the outer member and aids in alignment and limits rotation of the second endplate. Portions of the implant may be provided with a series of markings such that when the markings are aligned, the implant is aligned in a specific configuration and for a specific implantation approach.

  • EXPANDABLE INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT
    Publication number: 20180303627
    Abstract: An implant for therapeutically separating bones of a joint has two endplates each having an opening through the endplate, and at least one ramped surface on a side opposite a bone engaging side. A frame is slideably connected to the endplates to enable the endplates to move relative to each other at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the implant, in sliding connection with the frame. An actuator screw is rotatably connected to the frame. A carriage forms an open area aligned with the openings in the endplates. The openings in the endplates pass through the carriage to form an unimpeded passage from bone to bone of the joint. The carriage has ramps which mate with the ramped surfaces of the endplates, wherein when the carriage is moved by rotation of the actuator screw, the endplates move closer or farther apart.
