  • Medical impacting device and system
    Patent number: 6814738
    Abstract: A force applying surgical system is provided for use to assist in the insertion and/or removal of a surgical tool or a device attached thereto from an orthopedic structure. This surgical system comprises a medical impacting device that mates with a surgical tool such that the impacting device can be manually reciprocated along an axis of the tool to forcefully impact the impacting device on a portion of the tool. The impacting device can generate a distally directed force for inserting the tool (and/or an attached device) into an orthopedic structure, or it can generate a proximally directed force to remove the tool (and/or attached device) from an orthopedic structure.

  • Spinal implant
    Patent number: 6520993
    Abstract: An implantable spinal graft includes a substantially annular body with opposed superior and inferior surfaces. At least a portion of the superior and inferior surfaces includes a plurality of bone-engaging protrusions. Both of the superior and inferior surfaces also include at least one region that is free of protrusions. Preferably, the protrusion-free regions are centrally disposed and are oriented so as to be parallel to or angled with respect to an anterior-posterior axis of the implant. The implant further includes a tip on the posterior that is formed by converging portion of the superior and inferior surfaces.
