Patent number: 12329978Abstract: Implantable medical leads and/or lead extensions include a band that encapsulates a portion of conductors of the lead and/or lead extension. The band may be reflowed in order to provide the encapsulation of the conductors. The band may further be used to create a seal together with the surrounding lead body and an additional object such as a stiffener rod, stylet tube, and/or molding stylet, to allow a proximal area of a lumen of the lead body to be injection molded while prevent the injection molding material from proceeding past the band. When a stiffener rod is present in a proximal area of the lead and/or lead extension, additional stiffness is provided to the lead body to resist buckling of the lead body during insertion of the proximal end. The band may be bonded to the stiffener rod to fix the position of the stiffener rod relative to the conductors.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Adam J. Rivard, Mary Bengtson, Stephen L. Bolea, Justin M. Claus, Ryan R. Davis, Scott M. Hanson, Sean P. Skubitz

Patent number: 8317837Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a device and method for securing linear elements relative to one another. In some embodiments, medical implant linear elements are secured in a connector by forcing one or both of the linear elements against at least another member such as a tapered member or wedge. The secured linear elements may include rods, posts, screws, hooks, bars, bolts, or other members.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: William A Rezach, Ryan R Davis, Grant D Foy

Publication number: 20110106180Abstract: A bone anchor assembly is provided, which may be used in cervical, thoracic, lumbar or sacral areas of the spine or other orthopedic locations. The anchor assembly includes a bone engaging portion, a receiver, a saddle within a channel defined by the receiver, and an engaging member. The receiver extends along a central longitudinal axis and is fixed to the bone engaging portion. A rod or other elongated connecting element is received in a channel of the receiver in contact with the saddle, and the engaging member engages the connecting element against the saddle. The orientation of the saddle in the receiver is adjustable to correspond to the orientation of the connecting element relative to the central longitudinal axis at any one of a plurality of angles of the connecting element through the receiver while the receiver and bone engaging portion remain fixed relative to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Keith E Miller, Anthony Dickinson, Ian Rubin de la Borbolla, Alan Rozach, Gary S.
