Publication number: 20230329761Abstract: An insertion instrument for inserting an implant includes an elongated main body having a proximal handle and a distal portion that selectively couples to the implant. A wing actuation tool is slidably engaged in a central passage of the elongated main body to fix the implant to the elongated main body. The wing actuation tool temporarily attaches to the implant allowing for deployment and retraction of wings of the implant during surgery. Longitudinal translation of the wing actuation tool deploys an actuation plunger of the implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Adam Rogers, Douglas Snell, Annaria Barnds, Adam Frock, Jeffrey David Lee, Jeff Slover

Publication number: 20230320764Abstract: A disposable insertion instrument for inserting an implant includes a handle assembly, a drive assembly, and a plunger assembly. The drive assembly comprises an inner shaft and a spring received within an outer sleeve. A locking pin and drive lobes on the inner shaft cooperate to reversibly lock the drive assembly in a retracted position. A medical implant may be attached to the instrument via an adapter located at a distal end of the drive assembly. Following use for insertion of the medical implant into a patient, the disposable insertion instrument may be discarded.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Jeff Slover, Adam Frock, Todd Moseley, Jeffrey David Lee, Christian Aragonez, Adam Rogers, Melissa Frock

Publication number: 20230088125Abstract: A system and method for providing a spinal implant having a main body, a proximal anchor, a distal anchor, and an internal plunger. The proximal anchor comprises a nut having an internal bore. The distal anchor comprises a plurality of wings having a first closed configuration and a second open configuration. The internal plunger is housed within a central bore of the main body. The distal end of the internal plunger is operatively connected to the first wing and the second wing to selectively move the wings between the first closed configuration and the second open configuration, and vice versa.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Melissa Frock, Adam Frock, Todd Moseley, Adam Rogers, Jeff Slover

Publication number: 20170135736Abstract: A surgical wrench includes a longitudinal body having a central axis, a proximal portion and an opposing distal portion. The longitudinal body includes an inner shaft and an outer shaft surrounding at least a portion of the inner shaft. A removable adaptor is operatively connected to the distal portion including a ratchet mechanism configured to rotate a surgical implant. A plunger is operatively associated with a proximal end of the inner shaft configured to translate the inner shaft along the central axis to engage or disengage the surgical implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Applicant: Spinal Simplicity, LLCInventors: Adam Frock, Jeff Slover, Douglas Snell, Luke Luallin, Todd Moseley
