  • Patent number: 9439693
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices for minimally invasive vertebral augmentation and restoration of spinal lordosis using a steerable cannula assembly. When deployed, the articulating cannula, including an outer cannula and an inner cannula extending into a central lumen of the outer cannula and coupled to each other at their distal ends, can be manipulated to curve/bend the body of the articulating cannula. This manipulation is used to create a void within the interior body and may also be used to control delivery of a treatment element to the interior body.

  • Patent number: 8679126
    Abstract: An instrument for adjusting a spinal rod relative to a bone anchor includes a handle connecting a set screw driver with a reduction collar. The handle includes an inner shaft engageable with the set screw driver, an outer shaft engageable with the reduction collar, and a clutch connecting the inner shaft to the outer shaft and permitting selective rotation of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft, and thus, selective rotation of the set screw driver relative to the reduction collar, upon application of a torque to the reduction collar and the outer shaft greater than a preselected torque value.

The handle clutch may include a spring and a plurality of disc clutch members positioned about the outer shaft. The spring biases the disc clutch members into contact with one another and at least one disc clutch member may rotate relative to an adjacent disc clutch member upon application of a torque to the reduction collar and the outer shaft greater than a preselected torque value.
