Patent number: 11850156Abstract: The present invention relates generally to implants and tools for the fixation or fusion of joints or bone segments. These tools include tissue dilators and protectors. Other tools include broaches used to shape bores in bone. The tools can also include a system for removing an implant from bone. Implants can include assemblies of one or more implant structures that make possible the achievement of diverse interventions involving the fusion and/or stabilization of lumbar and sacral vertebra in a non-invasive manner, with minimal incision, and without the necessitating the removing the intervertebral disc. Implants for fusing both sacroiliac joints of a patient include a long implant that extends across both sacroiliac joints.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: SI-Bone Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Mauldin, Ralph F. Rashbaum, Mark A. Reiley, Scott A. Yerby, Paul M. Sand, Bret W. Schneider, Jose Rodriguez, Nicanor Domingo, Joanne Leung
