Patent number: 9095383Abstract: An allograft interspinous spacer for implantation into an interspinous space located between spinous process of adjacent vertebrae. The spacer preferably includes a body, a core and a plurality of deployable retainers. The body may be operatively associated with the plurality of deployable retainers. In use, after the body has been inserted into the interspinous space, the plurality of retainers is deployed so that they prevent migration of the spacer. The core is preferably sized and configured to be inserted and/or moved into operatively engagement with the body to deploy the plurality of retainers.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Felix Aschmann, Justin Coppes, Robert J. Delurio, Benjamin S. Barrall, David Chow, Nicholas Angert

Publication number: 20140039628Abstract: The present invention is directed to an allograft intervertebral implant sized and configured for insertion between adjacent vertebral bodies in a spinal fusion surgery. The implant is preferably manufactured from two or more pieces of allograft bone joined together by a joint, more preferably a dovetail joint. The dovetail joint being sized and configured to substantially follow the exterior shape or surface of the intervertebral implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicants: Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, DePuy Synthes Products, LLCInventors: Robert J. DeLurio, Ryan Walsh, Joshua McManus, Bradford Robert Bowman, SR.

Patent number: 8500778Abstract: An interspinous process spacer is generally rectangular and may have an upper face that generally opposes a lower face, front and back sides that generally oppose each other, an end side, and a nose that generally opposes the end side. The spacer preferably has rounded edges between the upper face and the front, end, and back sides and between the lower face and the front, end, and back sides. The nose of the spacer is preferably asymmetrical and tapers integrally, distally, and inwardly from the first and second faces to form a generally pointed or rounded distal tip. A spacer may be inserted laterally into the interspinous space through a small, posterior midline incision, allowing the preservation of the supraspinous ligament. One or more spacers may be placed between spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae, and result in distraction of the spinous processes which may limit extension of the spine.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2007Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Depuy Synthes Products, LLCInventors: Benjamin L. Jackson, David Chow, Robert J. Delurio

Patent number: 8128700Abstract: The present invention is directed to an allograft intervertebral implant sized and configured for insertion between adjacent vertebral bodies in a spinal fusion surgery. The implant is preferably manufactured from two or more pieces of allograft bone joined together by a joint, more preferably a dovetail joint. The dovetail joint being sized and configured to substantially follow the exterior shape or surface (e.g. perimeter) of the intervertebral implant. The intervertebral implant may also include one or more bone pins for joining the allograft pieces, the pins being inserted into the implant at an angle substantially perpendicular with respect to the dovetail joint. The intervertebral implant may also include one or more through-bores for receiving ostegenic or bone graft material. The intervertebral implant is preferably sized and configured for insertion during a T-PLIF or PLIF procedure.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Synthes USA, LLCInventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 7491237Abstract: An allogenic implant for use in intervertebral fusion is formed from one or more two pieces. The pieces are made from bone, and are joined together to form an implant having sufficient strength and stability to maintain a desired distance between first and second vertebrae in a spinal fusion procedure. The implant pieces may be formed of cortical bone and connected by dovetail joints, and at least one cortical bone pin may be provided to lock the pieces together and to add strength to the implant. Teeth are formed on the vertebra engaging surfaces of the implant prevent short-term slippage of the implant.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2005Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Synthes USA, LLCInventors: Brandon L Randall, Roger D Goodwin, Dominique Messerli, Jacqueline Myer, Robert J Delurio, Michael L Boyer, II, Christopher M Angelucci
