Patent number: 11207187Abstract: An orthopedic device for implanting between adjacent vertebrae comprising: an arcuate balloon and a hardenable material within said balloon. In some embodiments, the balloon has a footprint that substantially corresponds to a perimeter of a vertebral endplate. An inflatable device is inserted through a cannula into an intervertebral space and oriented so that, upon expansion, a natural angle between vertebrae will be at least partially restored. At least one component selected from the group consisting of a load-bearing component and an osteobiologic component is directed into the inflatable device through a fluid communication means.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Hassan Serhan, Thomas M. DiMauro, John Daniel Malone
