Patent number: 10369251Abstract: Disclosed is a medical device having a substrate having an exposed surface and a texture over at least part of the exposed surface. The texture includes a plurality of nanofeatures that inhibit bacterial adhesion on the surface and that also inhibit bacterial growth on the surface and have a size range between about 0.01 nanometers and about 1,000 nanometers. The texture can include a plurality of nanofeatures applied thereto such that the texture has a first particle size at a first location, a second particle size at a second location, and a gradient of particle size from the first particle size to the second particle size between the first location and the second location.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Tyber Medical, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Tyber, Rui J.

Patent number: 8182539Abstract: An intervertebral implant includes a body for insertion between adjacent vertebrae, and one or more anchors extending from the body for securing the body between the vertebrae. A linear motion control mechanism is mounted in the body and operable to limit linear translation of the anchor(s) relative to the body. Also, a pivot control mechanism in the body operates to limit pivot motion of the anchor(s) relative to the body. The linear and pivot control mechanisms are configured in various arrangements and embodiments exhibiting adjustable dynamic settings, allowing a single implant to provide various types of dynamic fixation with ranges of motion that permit loads to transfer to graft material contained in the disk space.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Aesculap Implant Systems, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Tyber, Matthew Kovach, Larry Pijanowski

Patent number: 8167949Abstract: An intervertebral implant includes an upper surface configured for engagement with a first vertebral body, and a lower surface configured for engagement with a second vertebral body. A wall extends between the upper surface and the lower surface, and forms a chamber for containing osteogenic material. At least a portion of the wall is collapsible from a first position associated with a first volume of the chamber to a second position associated with a second volume of the chamber. The second volume is less than the first volume.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Aesculap Implant Systems, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Tyber, Charles Wing, Larry Pijanowski

Patent number: 8118952Abstract: Bone fracture fixation devices, systems and methods of use and manufacture are provided. One such bone fixation device includes an elongate element having a responsive zone. The element is adapted to be coupled to the bone so that the responsive zone is positioned adjacent a fracture or fusion site in the bone. The responsive zone is adapted to apply a desired pressure to the bone when coupled thereto. In some embodiments, the responsive zone comprises a shape memory material, which may be nickel titanium or Nitinol, to apply compressive pressure across the fracture or fusion site for longer periods of time than standard bone screws.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Medshape Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth A.
