Patent number: 11026725Abstract: Various spinal plating systems for use in treating spinal pathologies are provided. In certain exemplary embodiments, the spinal plating systems can be configured to allow a surgeon to select a bone screw construct having a particular range of motion for attaching a spinal plate to bone as needed based on the intended use. In one exemplary embodiment, the spinal plating system includes a first bone screw that is polyaxially movable relative to the spinal plate, and a second bone screw that has a range of motion that is substantially limited to a single plane.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: David D.

Patent number: 9757163Abstract: Bone plates and bone plate systems are provided in which a bone plate includes a plurality of bone screw holes formed therein and positioned in laterally adjacent pairs. Positioned between the laterally adjacent pairs of bone screw holes are stabilizing strut. The bone plate system can additionally include windows positioned between longitudinally adjacent struts. Transverse bone screw planes can extend across the superior and inferior edges of the bone screw holes and define the minimum longitudinal boundaries of the windows. A guide device adapted for mating with the bone plate is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael Jacene, Michael Gorhan, Bacem Georges

Patent number: 9381263Abstract: A flash sterilization container includes a hermetically sealed rigid and impermeable metal bellow valve. Upon pressurization of the external environment with steam the height of the bellow valve is reduced and this opens the valve thereby allowing steam to enter the sterilization container. Reducing the pressure outside of the sterilization container to atmospheric pressure increases the height of the bellow valve and closes the valve, thereby isolating the sterilized objects within the sterilization container.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc.Inventors: Michael Jacene, Jerry R. Griffiths, Christopher M. Johnson, Ali Kiapour

Patent number: 9320552Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for passively locking a bone screw within a bone plate. In particular, the methods and devices allow a bone screw to be locked within a thru-hole in a bone plate without requiring any additional locking steps. In an exemplary embodiment, an annular feature is provided in a thru-hole of a bone plate, or in a bushing that is disposed within a thru-hole of a bone plate, for engaging a bone screw. The annular feature can be configured such that it allows the bone screw to be inserted through the thru-hole at various insertion angles while still being effective to prevent back-out of the bone screw, thereby locking the screw to the plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael Jacene, Jonathan Fanger, John R. Hawkins

Patent number: 9226775Abstract: A bone plate system including a bone plate and a bone screw with an integrated locking mechanism is disclosed. The bone screw includes an elongate member having a threaded shank and a bone screw head that is radially deformable. The integrated locking mechanism sits within the bone screw head and can rotate between a locked condition and an unlocked condition. When the bone screw head is seated within an aperture in the bone plate, rotating the integrated locking mechanism into the locked condition helps to prevent bone screw backout.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael Gorhan, Michael Jacene, Eric D.

Patent number: 9155569Abstract: A vertebra implant is provided that includes an elongate body with a first end configured to mate the first end to a first location on a vertebra, and a second end having at least one fastener configured to mate the second end to a second location on a vertebra. The elongate body also includes a deformable portion extending between the first and second ends that has an unexpanded configuration in which the deformable portion is configured to allow a tool to cut bone extending between the first and second ends when the first and second ends are mated to first and second locations on a vertebra, and an expanded configuration in which the deformable portion is deformed to increase a distance between the first and second ends such that a gap is created in the cut bone. The deformable portion is configured to maintain the first and second ends at a fixed distance apart when the deformable portion is in the expanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: David D.
