Abstract: The invention relates to a high gloss, non-feathering topical composition comprising at least one water-insoluble, fatty alcohol-soluble polysaccharide polymer and a liquid polymeric polyol ester.

Abstract: Medical instruments suitable for use in minimally invasive medical procedures have a first, highly flexible, state which allows the instruments to be easily passed into a body cavity through a trocar, cannula, catheter, or other access device positioned to give access into the body cavity. The instruments can then be arranged into a chosen shape, and rigidized in the chosen shape, allowing the user to use the instruments in a shape most suitable for the surrounding anatomy.

Abstract: An articulating grasper includes an elongate shaft having an articulating distal section and a pair of jaw members on the articulating distal section. A first actuation member is coupled to the articulating distal section and is longitudinally moveable to pivot the articulating distal section. A second actuation member is coupled to at least one of the jaw members and is longitudinally moveable to pivot at least one of the jaw member between open and closed positions.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, method and kit for placing and securing an implant to vertebral bodies of a spine. The apparatus may have an implant engaging base having implant engaging limbs coupled to a handle and an aligning member pivotally coupled to the handle by a spring loaded collar where the aligning member may be rotated and locked into fixed positions. The aligning member may receive a cannula for guiding instruments and tools into the surgical field. A method is presented which includes turning locking screws to frictionally engage rounded screws to secure the implant to the vertebral bodies. Flats on the head of the locking screws may be turned by a screwdriver having corresponding flats dispositioned to align in a coaxial manner to the flats on the heads of the locking screws. A kit is presented including the apparatus, the screws, and the screwdriver.

Abstract: A surgical driver includes an elongated drive shaft engageable with a surgical bone anchor in torque transmitting relationship, a locking sleeve, and a sleeve locking member. The locking sleeve is mounted to the drive shaft and is engageable with the head of surgical bone anchor. The sleeve locking member is mounted for relative motion between a first position in which it is simultaneously engaged with both the drive shaft and the locking sleeve in rotationally fixed relationship and a second position in which it is disengaged from the rotationally fixed relationship with at least one of the drive shaft and locking sleeve.

Abstract: A reduction device and a method for using such a device are provided. In one example, the reduction device includes a sleeve, a coupling member configured to couple to a surgical device, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly may include multiple links pivotally coupled to the sleeve and coupling member, and a threaded member pivotally coupled to the links. A rotational position of the threaded member may define a position of the sleeve relative to the coupling member.

Abstract: A method for facilitating fusion of bone structures includes providing an implant member for positioning between opposed bone structures, the implant member having a first end and a second end, and a segmentable portion having an outer wall defining an internal cavity for reception of bone growth inducing substances. The outer wall has at least one groove which extends substantially continuously about the outer wall to define a plurality of discrete ring-like segments. Each ring-like segment includes a plurality of apertures extending therethrough in communication with the internal cavity to permit fusion of vertebral bone tissue. The vertebral space defined between adjacent vertebral bodies is accessed, and the desired implant member length for insertion into the space between adjacent vertebral bodies is determined. The implant member is cut to the desired length and advanced within the vertebral space between the adjacent vertebral bodies.
