Patent number: 10729554Abstract: An expandable implant is made via a central strut having a pivotable arm on each end. The implant can be inserted into a disc space either horizontally or vertically with the arms in a closed position and then (if inserted horizontally) optionally rotated up into place. The arms are then pivoted out, thereby increasing the foot print of a horizontally inserted implant. The expanded implant can be locked in place through the use of an additional insert or ratchet that fits between the arms and locks the arms in place.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Zoher Bootwala, Sean Saidha, William Frasier, Thomas Martin, Shreedhar Kale, Laura Wilson, Patrick Fatyol, John Olkowski

Patent number: 8021428Abstract: A prosthetic is provided for replacing a vertebral disc. The prosthesis can comprise first and second endplates formed of a ceramic material, each including an articulating contact surface and a bone facing surface. The contact surface of the first endplate can have a shape complementary to the contact surface of the second endplate, thereby facilitating articulation of the first and second endplates while in contact with one another. The device can further include at least one non-ceramic bone attachment element mated with at least one of the bone facing surfaces, such that the bone attachment element covers less than a full area of the bone facing surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: DePuy Spine, Inc.Inventors: Charles M. Bartish, Jr., Jeffrey Brousseau, Patrick Fatyol, Conor McCrea, Michael J. O'Neil, Stephen Connolly

Publication number: 20050010213Abstract: An attachment mechanism for a surgical instrument is provided which includes a receiving component having a longitudinal axis, a modular tip configured to be coupled in a rigid manner to the receiving component in two or less orientations, and a locking mechanism for securing the tip to the receiving component. A method for attaching a modular tip to a surgical instrument is also provided that includes actuating a locking mechanism, inserting a mating component of a modular tip into a receiving component by moving the mating component in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the receiving component, or by rotating the mating component relative to the receiving component, or a combination thereof, and releasing the locking mechanism to secure the tip to the receiving component.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2003Publication date: January 13, 2005Applicant: DePuy Spine, Inc.Inventors: Shawn Stad, Christopher Rogers, Michael Sorrenti, Patrick Fatyol

Patent number: 6709439Abstract: A medical instrument impacting tool that is useful for mating to a medical instrument used during spinal surgery is provided. The impacting tool is effective to apply a force to the medical instrument to efficiently and effectively prepare a bone structure, insert or remove a trial implant, insert or remove an implant, or to remove a medical instrument positioned between adjacent bone structures. In general, the medical instrument impacting tool includes a hollow tube, a handle slidably disposed around the tube, and a mass connected to the handle and slidably disposed within the tube.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: DePuy Spine, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Rogers, Patrick Fatyol, Michael Sorrenti, Thomas M. DiMauro
