Publication number: 20240358574Abstract: A peg support member, system and method of assembly includes one or more posts adapted to couple to an adjacent peg board opening, to provide improved holding of a peg. A method of cinching is also provided, wherein the peg support member can be rotated to advance the peg into a more centrally-located peg board opening, on account of the lever created thereby and the tapered profile of the peg support member body. Once in place, the peg support member body increases the holding area about the end of the peg, i.e., the vertical surface area, to limit bending or torsion of the peg, thereby improve holding characteristics and positioning of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Jeffrey D.

Patent number: 6579321Abstract: An implantable intervertebral disc prosthesis that comprises a disc member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter surface. The disc includes an axis at least one slit defined in the perimeter surface; the slit being of sufficient depth and thickness to provide flexure. The slit terminates in a perimeter opening larger than the slit thickness. The perimeter opening (i.e., hole) acts as a pivot point and relieves stress. The disc prosthesis optionally comprises a cavity with an upper seat defined on the lower surface, a lower disc having an upper and lower surface and a lower seat defined on the upper surface, and a support ball. The support ball engages the seat on the upper disc and the seat on the lower disc.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Vanderbilt UniversityInventors: Jeffrey D.
