Patent number: 8740987Abstract: An implant including a substantially cohesive aggregate comprising bone-derived particles. Cohesiveness is maintained by a member of mechanical interlocking, engagement of adjacent bone-derived particles with one another through engagement with a binding agent, thermal bonding, chemical bonding, or a matrix material in which the bone-derived particles are retained. The aggregate is shaped as a one-dimensional or two-dimensional body.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Perry Geremakis, Jennifer Grasso, David Knaack, Jo-Wen Lin, Lawrence Shimp, Robert Waterman, John Winterbottom

Publication number: 20040098129Abstract: A spinal implant of cortical bone for insertion in the anterior to antereolateral approaches has a smooth surfaced cylindrical bore along a plane between inferior and superior vertebral engagement surfaces which may be roughened and which may be inclined to match the lordosis of the vertebrae. The bore may extend from the anterior surface through the implant into a central chamber or may be blind. The instrument has a straight shaft which is bent at a proximal end opposite a handle at the distal end. The bend is formed into an implant engaging member which has a circular cylindrical smooth surface and closely mates with and is complementary to the implant bore. The instrument is used to rotate or otherwise finely manipulate the implant in the plane of the disc space to a desired orientation from the initial improper insertion orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2003Publication date: May 20, 2004Inventor: Jo-Wen Lin

Patent number: 6733504Abstract: A dowel insertion tool includes a T-shaped handle and a hollow sleeve which extends distally from the T-shaped handle. A shaft extends from the handle through the hollow sleeve and includes a transverse extension. A rotatable knob having an annular channel positioned to receive the transverse extension is supported adjacent the handle. A pin is secured to the knob and extends into a helical camming channel formed in the sleeve. Upon rotation of the knob, the pin moves within the camming channel to move the knob longitudinally about the sleeve. Movement of the knob effects longitudinal movement of the shaft. A support plate is secured to the distal end of the shaft. A pair of prongs are slidably secured to the plate. Each of the prongs includes an enlarged head portion which is slidably positioned within a slot formed in the plate. A guide member is secured to the distal end of the sleeve. The guide member includes a pair of guide bores dimensioned to receive a distal end of the prongs.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2001Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Osteotech, Inc.Inventors: Ching-Yi Lin, Jo-Wen Lin

Patent number: 6638310Abstract: An intervertebral spacer formed of dense cancellous human or animal bone is provided. In one preferred embodiment, the intervertebral spacer includes at least one bore which is dimensioned to receive a plug formed from cortical bone tissue. The cortical bone plug provides increased mechanical strength to the intervertebral spacer. Instrumentation for gauging the size of an intervertebral receiving bed and for grasping and inserting an intervertebral spacer or implant into an intervertebral receiving bed are also provided. These instruments include a spacer trial or set of spacer trials for determining the appropriate size spacer required for a particular surgical procedure, a spacer introducer for grasping and positioning a spacer at least partially within a receiving bed formed in the intervertebral space, and a bone tamp for driving a spacer into the receiving bed. Any one or all of these instruments may be provided in a kit for inserting an implant into the intervertebral space.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2000Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Osteotech, Inc.Inventors: Jo-Wen Lin, Nelson L.

Each plate includes a plurality of cam members which are slidably positioned in cam slots formed in the jaws of each of the pairs of jaws. The dial is operably connected to the jaws via the distractor rods such that rotation of the dial effects movement of the pairs of jaws between approximated and distracted positions. An insertion tool is also provided which includes a handle and distal engaging structure for releasably engaging an implant. The engaging structure includes a pair of prongs or protrusions having a slip resistant outer surface. The prongs are configured to be releasably received within correspondingly shaped bores formed in an implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2002Publication date: July 10, 2003Applicant: OSTEOTECH, INC.Inventor: Jo-Wen Lin
