  • Publication number: 20240277488
    Abstract: The present invention provides articulating expandable devices and insertion tools for deploying the articulating expandable devices. The articulating expandable devices are capable of being inserted into narrow spaces and turning around corners. The articulating expandable devices are capable of increasing in height and width when expanded from a closed configuration to an open configuration to occupy a larger volume and to present a larger surface area. The articulating expandable devices are lockable and are capable of rigidly occupying a space after expansion. In some embodiments, the articulating expandable devices are useful as interbody devices for spinal fusions.

  • Publication number: 20220304672
    Abstract: The present invention provides decorticating screws and insertion tools for implanting the decorticating screws. The screws anchor into a first and a second bone to fuse the two bones together. The screws include a rotatable bladed section to decorticate a joint space between the first and second bone. The screws also optionally include a cap to secure the screws in the bone and apply compression to the joint to be fused. In some embodiments, the decorticating screws are useful for sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion.
