  • Multi-purpose surgical instrument with removable component
    Patent number: 10863890
    Abstract: A combination aspiration/irrigation and illumination device using optical fibers circumferentially disposed around the aspiration conduit for transmitting illuminating light to a cavity to be aspirated. The aspiration conduit having a tip that is detachably affixed to and end of the aspiration conduit. The optical fibers terminated at a distance (d) from a distal end of the tip. Also provided is an image fiber(s) for transmitting image data from the distal end of the device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2020

  • Adjustable spinal system
    Patent number: 7857837
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the installation of spinals support members on consecutive vertebrae where the optimal positioning of screws does not form a straight line. The system includes a first plate spanning a first and second vertebrae, a second plate spanning the second vertebrae and a third vertebrae and an offset member coupling the first plate to the second plate at a defined angle to accommodate the anatomical variations of the patients vertebrae.

  • Multi-purpose surgical instrument with integral optical system
    Patent number: 7842027
    Abstract: A combination aspiration/irrigation and illumination device using optical fibers circumferentially disposed around the aspiration conduit for transmitting illuminating light to a cavity to be aspirated. The ends of the optical fibers being formed at an angle relative to the aspiration conduit so as to direct the illuminating light inward to provide intensified illumination ahead of the aspiration conduit.
