Patent number: 12342999Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for performing minimally invasive spinal procedures are described herein. The systems, devices, and methods may be used to percutaneously access the spinal canal and perform a spinal procedure in multiple locations along the canal, e.g., bilaterally and/or at multiple levels from a single access point. The systems and devices may integrate various instruments for performing the procedures, thus improving their ease of use, reducing procedural complexity, and minimizing procedure time.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2024Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Vertos Medical, Inc.Inventors: James Dinh, Phillip A. Thompson, Dennis Schroeder, Brian Roselauf, David P. Lalor, Jr.

Publication number: 20240423660Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to devices, kits, and methods for treating lumbar spinal stenosis by at least partially decompressing a compressed nerve root. The method can include identifying the compressed nerve root and percutaneously accessing a region of a lamina located adjacent to the compressed nerve root. The method can also include forming a channel through the region of the lamina, wherein the channel can be formed medial to a lateral border of the lamina. Further, the method can include expanding the channel in a lateral direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Minh Tran, Randel Woodgrift, James M. Corbett, Phillip A. Thompson, David P. Lalor, JR.
