Publication number: 20250143762Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for bony fusion are disclosed. A threaded cannulated implant may be inserted into a target space, such as in the sacroiliac joint. The implant may have a distal section, a proximal section, and a central section between the distal section and the proximal section. The distal section may comprise cutting threads and flutes for self-drilling the implant into bone. The proximal section may be configured to couple to an insertion instrument for the implant. The central section may have a lattice structure through which bone graft may flow to promote bone ingrowth. A solid core region may be located inwards from the lattice structure. The central section may also have openings through the core region to connect the lattice structure to the cannula.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2024Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Todd Moseley, Luke Luallin, Adam Rogers, Christian Aragonez, Jeff Slover, Tony Hartlage

Patent number: 12290287Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: Spinal Simplicity, LLCInventors: Jeff Slover, Adam Frock, Todd Moseley, Jeffrey David Lee, Christian Aragonez, Adam Rogers, Melissa Frock

Publication number: 20250107829Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for stabilization of bones and/or joints are disclosed. A medical implant may be inserted into a treatment site, such as an interspinous process space. The implant may have an outer body, an inner body coupled to the outer body, distal wings coupled to the inner body, proximal wings coupled to the outer body, and a threaded screw coupled to the inner body and outer body. The threaded screw may be configured to couple to a driver head of an insertion tool and the outer body may be configured to couple to an attachment member of an insertion tool. Actuating the insertion tool may actuate the threaded screw to thereby transition the proximal wings and the distal wings from a closed configuration to a deployed configuration, and from a deployed configuration to a clamped configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Inventors: Colton McQuinn, Todd Moseley, Jeff Slover, Adam Frock, Luke Luallin, Melissa Frock, Adam Rogers

Patent number: 12263095Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Spinal Simplicity, LLCInventors: Melissa Frock, Adam Frock, Todd Moseley, Adam Rogers, Jeff Slover

Publication number: 20240189108Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion are described. At least one posterior SI implant and at least one lateral SI implant may be implanted. The posterior SI implant may be placed in the intra-articular region, and the lateral SI implant may transfix the SI joint such that the lateral SI implant passes through the ilium, across the SI joint, and into the sacrum. The lateral SI implant may compress the SI joint. The lateral SI implant may be inserted through a window in the posterior SI implant to interlock the two implants.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Todd Moseley, Colton McQuinn, Luke Luallin, Melissa Frock, Jeffrey David Lee, Nick Furman, Adam Frock, Adam Rogers, Christian Aragonez, Jeff Slover

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
