  • Patent number: 11523913
    Abstract: Implementations of devices for use in cervical spinal operations. Implementations may include a template including a central hole therethrough and two or more screw holes therethrough. The central hole may be configured to be inserted over a handle of a trial. The template may be configured to place a first of the two or more screw holes over a rostral vertebra and to place a second of the two or more screw holes over a caudal vertebra. Implementations may also include a template including a central hole therethrough and two or more screw holes therethrough. The central hole may be configured to couple over an inserter. The template may be configured to place a first of the two or more screw holes over a rostral vertebra and to place a second of the two or more screw holes over a caudal vertebra.

  • Patent number: 9681862
    Abstract: A medial lateral retractor system includes a first medial lateral retractor arm, a second medial lateral retractor arm movably coupled thereto, and a base member coupler coupled to one of the first medial lateral retractor arm and the second medial lateral retractor arm. The base member coupler is configured to couple to a base member to which a rostral refractor blade and caudal retractor blade are coupled. The first medial lateral retractor arm is configured to move relative to the second medial lateral retractor arm in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement of the rostral retractor blade relative to the caudal retractor blade when the base member coupler is coupled to the base member. In implementations the medial lateral retractor system further includes the base member, the rostral retractor blade and the caudal retractor blade, and the base member is coupled to the base member coupler.

  • Patent number: 9114022
    Abstract: MIS TLIF systems and related methods. Implementations of distractor devices may include a first portion and a second portion where the second portion is slidably coupled over the first portion. A position of the second portion relative to the first portion may be adjustable through contacting a distractor latch coupled to the second portion with a plurality of teeth on a side of the first portion. The first portion may include a first pedicle screw pin on an end of the first portion opposing the second portion. The second portion may include a second pedicle screw pin on an end of the second portion opposing the first portion. The first pedicle screw pin and the second pedicle screw pin may be both configured to couple with a pedicle screw head. A length of the distractor device may be configured to be adjustable through sliding of the first portion.
