Patent number: 9848994Abstract: The present application generally relates to orthopedic systems, and in particular, to systems including independent plates and spacers. A plating system can include a spacer and a plate that is independent from the spacer. A number of locking mechanisms can be provided to secure the plate to the spacer. In some cases, the spacer includes a pair of notches that extend on an outer surface of the spacer. The plate can include a pair of lateral extensions that can engage the notches to secure the plate to the spacer. In other cases, the spacer includes an opening including a pair of inlets. The plate can include an enclosed posterior extension that can be received in the pair of inlets to secure the plate to the spacer.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Samuel Petersheim, Jason Cianfrani, Aditya Ingalhalikar, Jennifer Klimek, Jason Gray

Patent number: 9827113Abstract: The present invention relates to minimally invasive graft delivery systems and devices. The systems and devices provide a means to deliver graft material minimally invasively, such as to a spacer within a disc space. A particular system can include a cannula, a syringe and an extrusion tool. The extrusion tool can be used to extrude material from the cannula and syringe, and can have multiple modes of operation to accommodate the extrusion of materials of different viscosities.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Klimek, Allison Adams, Daniel Laskowitz

Publication number: 20170143503Abstract: Intervertebral implants for implanting into an intervertebral space are provided. The implants can comprise one or more layers that are operably attached to one another. An implant can comprise a first layer having a first mating surface that mates with a second mating surface of a second layer. The first mating surface and the second mating surface can have features that allow them to complement each other. The implants can include one or more bore holes for receiving a fixation member. The bore holes can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. In some cases, the bore holes will be blind bore holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2016Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventor: Jennifer Klimek
