  • Patent number: 10299936
    Abstract: A distance interbody device for introducing a biomaterial to a vertebral body includes a shaped body and a dispense mechanism operable to dispense biomaterial. The shaped body includes a top side, a bottom side, and a lateral wall forming a peripheral wall that extends between the top and bottom sides. The shaped body is provided with at least one through channel and at least one anchoring element. The through channel includes an internal reservoir for the biomaterial.

  • Patent number: 9707017
    Abstract: An interspinous process spacer implant includes first and second bodies each equipped with upper and lower projections. The implant also includes a hinge connecting central parts of the bodies to one another. The hinge allows the bodies to rotate relative to one another in a forward direction. The implant further includes an arresting mechanism that acts between the central parts of the bodies to block reverse rotation of the bodies relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 9198771
    Abstract: An intervertebral implant for mutual situating of adjacent vertebrae includes a cover and a driving mechanism mounted in the cover. The cover presents a manipulative hole and a seat. The driving mechanism is located in the seat and includes a rotational element with anchoring to engage a vertebra. The implant includes a connecting element located within the diameter of the manipulative hole and operable to be engaged by a driving tool.

  • Publication number: 20150081021
    Abstract: An intervertebral implant includes first and second implant bodies, which extend along a longitudinal direction of the implant, and a threaded member. The bodies include first and second proximal and distal ends movable longitudinally relative to each other. The threaded member is rotatably seated in the first implant body and has a proximal end accessible from outside the implant.

  • Patent number: 8979899
    Abstract: The invention concerns a distance-keeping inter-process implant with a body ending in its posterior part with two opposite-situated resistance protrusions. In the anterior part of the body there are situated at least two wings, at least one of which is a mobile wing connected with the body by an articulated joint. Each wing is provided with at least one guide of the tensioning band. The articulated joint between the mobile wing and the body is formed by the mutually collaborating shaped surface of the. wing (and the shaped surface of the body and is usefully secured by the pin that constitutes the axis of rotation of the mobile wing. In an alternative version of the implementation of the implant, the mobile wing connected with the body is provided with at least one arm situated with respect to the wing at the angle ? amounting to from 30° to 150°.

  • Patent number: 8900311
    Abstract: An intervertebral spinal implant includes a shaped body with a first bearing side, a second bearing side located opposite to the first bearing side, a front part, a rear part, a concave side and a convex side. The concave side and the convex side are both connected to the bearing sides as well as to the front part and the rear part. The first bearing side and the second bearing side are each provided with at least two projections for penetration within a vertebral body's wall. The projections are formed by elongated sliding-guiding runners which extend in a diverging manner from the concave side of the body towards the convex side of the body. The sliding-guiding runners extend in a curved manner so that they also extend from the concave side of the body towards the rear part of the body in addition to extending towards the convex side of the body. The sliding-guiding runners are provided with a smooth surface facing the convex side of the body and with a rough surface facing the concave side of the body.

  • Publication number: 20140088715
    Abstract: Intervertebral implant for mutual situating of adjacent vertebrae contains a cover (1) in a shape close to the rectangle, in which is fixed a driving mechanism. In a lateral wall (2) of the cover (1) a manipulative hole (3) is made. The cover (1) is equipped with one open seat (4). The driving mechanism composes situated in the seat 4 and anchoring in one of displaced vertebrae one rotational element (5) with an axis 6 mounted for an axial movement in lateral walls (2) of the cover (1) perpendicularly to the direction of the displacement of vertebrae against each other, cooperating with the connecting element (7). The rotational element (5) is equipped with anchoring latches 8 projecting over the height of cover's (1) walls (2) from the side contacting with one of displaced vertebrae and anchoring in this vertebrae. Anchoring latches (8) have got a form of paddles of equal dimensions and shapes.
