Patent number: 11654033Abstract: A distractible intervertebral implant configured to be inserted in an insertion direction into an intervertebral space that is defined between a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body is disclosed. The implant may include a first body and a second body. The first body may define an outer surface that is configured to engage the first vertebral body, and an opposing inner surface that defines a rail. The second body may define an outer surface that is configured to engage the second vertebral body, and an inner surface that defines a recess configured to receive the rail of the first body. The second body moves in a vertical direction toward the second vertebral body as the second body is slid over the first body and the rail is received in the recess.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Jann-Paul Suedkamp, Sean Saidha, Philipp Brun

Patent number: 8545563Abstract: An intervertebral implant is configured to be fixed in an intervertebral space defined by a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body. The intervertebral implant includes an implant body sized to be inserted into an intervertebral space, and a fixation assembly carried by the implant body. The fixation assembly includes a fixation housing and a plurality of fixation members attached to the fixation housing. The fixation assembly can be iterated from a retracted position to an extended position that causes the fixation members to travel along a channel of the implant body and out the implant body so as to attach the implant to the first and second vertebral bodies.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: DePuy Synthes Product, LLCInventors: Philipp Brun, Salman Chegini, Philippe Lindenmann
