Abstract: Disclosed herein are expandable interbodies with modular endplates. An expandable interbody has an outer column, an inner column threadedly coupled and translatable relative to the outer column along the longitudinal axis, and an expansion ring to adjust a body length of the expandable interbody. The expansion ring has a plurality of teeth, and the outer column has at least one arm for engaging a tooth of the plurality of teeth to lock the expansion ring. The inner column and/or outer column can include a connector for connection to a modular endplate that has a substantially hollow core. The modular endplate includes a plate with a set screw entrapped therein. The modular endplate has an aperture to receive the connector of the inner and/or outer column.

Abstract: A method for processing a plurality of radiation protective garments includes receiving a plurality of radiation protective garments from a customer, scanning an identification tag of each received radiation protective garment to identify electronic identification data of each radiation protective garment, and automatically identifying a subset of the radiation protective garments that require performance testing by using the identification data to access a file history of each scanned radiation protective garment, the file history including a performance testing schedule. The method further includes using an x-ray scanning system to scan the subset of the radiation protective garments and to generate x-ray image data, automatically updating the file histories of the subset of the radiation protective garments to include the corresponding x-ray image data, and identifying defects in the corresponding radiation protective garment based on the x-ray image data.
