Publication number: 20230414260Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a member being engageable to a spinal implant configured for connection to a bone fastener shaft. An actuator is connected to the member. A latch is connected to the actuator and the connection is configured to change between at least one non-locked orientation such that the actuator is movable relative to the member and a locked orientation such that the actuator is fixed relative to the member. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC INC.Inventors: William Alan Rezach, Charles G. Fisher, Marcel F. Dvorak, Lawrence G. Lenke, Ronald A. Lehman

Patent number: 11806052Abstract: A method includes providing first and second instruments. First and second fasteners are attached with vertebrae. First fasteners are connected with first and second constructs. Second fasteners are connected with a third and fourth constructs. The first construct is connected with a body of the first instrument and the second construct is connected with another body of the first instrument. The third construct is connected with a body of the second instrument and the fourth construct is connected with another body of the second instrument. Joints of the instruments are tightened. At least one of the instruments is selectively distracted. At least one of the instruments is selectively compressed. The spinal constructs are removed from the fasteners. The first fasteners are connected with a first spinal rod. The second fasteners are connected with a second spinal rod. In some embodiments, spinal constructs, implants, systems and kits are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Dustin Bobbitt, Ian J.

Publication number: 20230255789Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for graft delivery with accurate dispensing. For example, a device for delivering graft material to a target site includes an actuation mechanism and a tube. The tube defines a lumen and an open end and is configured to receive graft material through the open end. The tube includes a pressure relief opening and a dosage window. The pressure relief opening is disposed in a wall of the tube, defining a pressure chamber between the open end and the pressure relief opening. The device further includes a plunger positioned within the lumen of the tube and coupled to the actuation mechanism such that at least a portion of the plunger (or the actuation mechanism) is visible through the dosage window. The actuation mechanism is configured to advance the plunger toward the open end to deliver graft material through the open end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Adam D. Glaser, Andrea L. Hartman, Jeffrey L. Gum, Ronald A. Lehman, JR., Christopher R. Good, Douglas John Fox, JR.
