Abstract: An implant is provided for performing spinal fusion. The implant includes an implant body having a leading side and a trailing side at opposing ends along a longitudinal axis. Between the leading side and trailing side are an upper surface, a lower surface, an anterior side, and a posterior side. At least one keel structure is provided extending from the implant body for penetration into an adjacent vertebral body. A trial sizer and keel cutter may be utilized to form keel channels within the vertebral body to receive the keel structure.

Abstract: A minimally invasive surgical procedure, and related systems, for creating a minimally invasive operating corridor from a generally lateral approach, for example for performing corpectomies in the lumbar and thoracic regions of the spine.

Abstract: The present invention involves a system and methods for assembling and implanting a vertebral body implant. The vertebral body implant includes, but is not necessarily limited to, an expandable core body and endplates that can be attached at both ends. Endplates of various shapes, sizes and angles are attachable to the expandable core so that a suitable vertebral body implant can be implanted between vertebrae.

Abstract: A collapsible beverage carrier having a moveable base support and a squared handle, adapted to be collapsible for safe and easy transport and storage when not in use, said carrier further comprising a top surface plate having a plurality of circular shaped openings positioned therein for receiving a plurality of beverage containers, a pair of circular catches each disposed on opposite sides of the top surface; and a pair of curve shaped hinges positioned at the opposite ends along a base of said top surface plate, wherein two side walls are moveably coupled to the pair of curve shaped hinges such that when the side walls are coupled to the top surface in a first position they each extend downward, laterally away from the top surface and when the side walls are then rotated inward, in opposite directions, toward the top surface they thereby rotate into a “closed” position and extend in a parallel fashion along the base/bottom of the top surface plate.
