Publication number: 20230321900Abstract: This invention is directed to a polymeric powder preferably a medical grade polymeric powder, for use in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for application fields including but not limited to medical, food, and pharmaceutical. The, preferably medical grade, polymer is biodegradable and can be used to manufacture objects such as medical implants and tissue scaffolds. The powder is biocompatible and biodegradable and can include a flow additive. The flow additive can consist of an osteoconductive flow aid suited for medical applications, a water-soluble salt flow aid that does dissolve during device degradation, or a combination of both. The water-soluble salt flow aid is used for applications where no leftover signs of implantation are observed within tissue after device degradation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Kevin Acreman, Mahrokh Dadsetan, William Hanson, Marshall Scott Jones

Patent number: 11779470Abstract: A driving instrument for adjusting a spinal implant includes an outer shaft having a distal end configured to actuate a proximal adjustment assembly of a spinal implant, and an inner shaft having a distal end configured to actuate a distal adjustment assembly of the spinal implant. The inner shaft is disposed within the outer shaft, with a proximal end of the inner shaft extending proximally from the outer shaft. The proximal end is configured to be rotated such that rotation of the inner shaft results in simultaneous rotation of the inner and outer shafts, with rotation of the outer shaft ceasing at a first value of resistance associated with the proximal adjustment assembly and rotation of the inner shaft ceasing at a second value of resistance associated with the distal adjustment assembly such that cessation of rotation of the inner shaft is independent from cessation of rotation of the outer shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: K2M, Inc.Inventors: Steven Ludwig, Scott Dhupar, Sabatino Bianco, Khalid Abbed, Egon Doppenberg, Jennifer Moore, John Donohoe, Scott A.
