Patent number: 10918421Abstract: A spinal construct comprises a body defining a first groove. A transverse rod is formed with the body. A first band is disposable in the first groove. A base is connectable with the body and engageable with the first band. The base defines a second groove and a slot. A second band is disposable in the second groove and defines an opening aligned with the slot. A shaft is connectable with the base and engageable with the second band. The shaft is configured to penetrate tissue. The opening is aligned with the slot to facilitate an angular range of movement of the shaft relative to the body. Implants, systems, instruments and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Christel Italiaie, Jason M.

Patent number: 9554835Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a body. A first member extends between a first end and a second end. A second member extends between a first end connected with the body and a second end. A third member is connected to the first end of the first member and the body to relatively axially translate the second ends. The third member includes a latch and a lock engageable with the latch. The latch is disposable in a locking orientation and a non-locking orientation. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer G. Brinkman, Nicholas M. Benson, David W.

Patent number: 8470002Abstract: The present application is directed to tethers and methods of use. The tether is attached with anchors to bony members within the patient. The tether applies a tensile force to the bony members to reduce and/or eliminate the abnormality of the bony members. The tether includes a release mechanism with a resorbable material that initially maintains the tether in a shortened orientation. The release mechanism is eventually releases the tether to a lengthened orientation. The release mechanism may prevent the need for a subsequent surgery to release tension from the tether as the patient grows.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2007Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Randall Noel Allard, Larry Thomas McBride, Jr., Shannon Marlece Vittur

Publication number: 20100324601Abstract: The present application discloses methods for treating a multi-level spinal deformity. The methods may include inserting a tether in a minimally-invasive manner through an entrance incision. The tether is moved along the spine and positioned to reduce and/or eliminate the deformity. Once the tether is positioned along the spine, the tether may be secured to the vertebral members. In one embodiment, the tether includes a rigid section and a flexible section. The tether may be positioned within the spine with the rigid section extending along a first length of the spine and the flexible section extending along a second length of the spine. The different sections provide different corrective forces to the spine to reduce and/or eliminate the spinal deformity. In one embodiment, the rigid section extends along an apex of the spinal deformity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2010Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Randall Noel Allard, Mark David Waugh, Larry Thomas McBride, JR.
