Publication number: 20240374397Abstract: Stand-alone interbody fusion devices and corpectomy devices suitable for use with an oblique implantation. The stand-alone interbody fusion devices may include a spacer having a substantially U-shaped body and a plate coupled to the spacer. The overall shape of the implant is asymmetrical such that a median plane, an oblique plane, or both planes divide the spacer and the plate into two asymmetrical halves. The implants are shaped and configured to allow for an oblique or anterolateral approach to the spine or an oblique corpectomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Jeff Bennett, William Rhoda, Sean Suh, Daniel Davenport, Duncan Sibson, Andrew Iott, Nick Padovani

INTEGRATED CREDENTIAL-BASED SCALABLE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PROVIDING REMOTE ACCESS TO A PHYSICAL SITE
Publication number: 20240249025Abstract: An integrated credential-based scalable communication system is disclosed providing remote access to a physical site. The system includes a dashboard in electronic communication with a server. The server is configured to receive an access request from a remote user, assign the remote user a credential having an access profile, and transmit an authorization request to the dashboard which displays it for approval by an authorizing agent. The server is configured to receive a live stream from the dashboard module, parse the live stream based on the access profile, and, upon approval by the authorizing agent, transmit a parsed portion of the live stream to the remote user. The dashboard is configured for the authorizing agent to independently modify the access profile and credential, and terminate the live stream. The dashboard includes a switch that prevents the live stream from being transmitted by the dashboard to the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Lawrence BINDER, Ryan DURGAN, William RHODA -

Publication number: 20230157836Abstract: Devices and methods for treating one or more damaged, diseased, or traumatized portions of the spine, including intervertebral discs, to reduce or eliminate associated back pain. In one or more embodiments, the present invention relates to an expandable interbody spacer. The expandable interbody spacer may comprise a first jointed arm comprising a plurality of links pivotally coupled end to end. The expandable interbody spacer further may comprise a second jointed arm comprising a plurality of links pivotally coupled end to end. The first jointed arm and the second jointed arm may be interconnected at a proximal end of the expandable interbody spacer. The first jointed arm and the second jointed arm may be interconnected at a distal end of the expandable interbody spacer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Jonathan Perloff, William Rhoda, Mark Weiman, Chad Glerum, Edward Dwyer, Victoria Alexander, Brian Garvey, Daniel Waite, Conor Fleming, Samuel Petersheim, Bria Howell, Marcin Niemiec, Vipin Kunjachan, Jason Gray, Christopher Saville, James Himmelberger, Kevin Gahman

Patent number: 11291551Abstract: The present invention relates to an expandable prosthetic implant device for engagement between vertebrae generally comprising an inner member, outer member, and gear member positioned coaxial with respect to each other such that the inner and outer members are moveable relative to each other along an axis. The gear member is axially fixed to the outer member and freely rotatable with respect to the outer member and the gear member threadedly engages a threaded portion of the inner member to translate inner member along the axis. The implant is configured to engage the vertebrae in a predetermined alignment and the gear member includes gear teeth exposed to the exterior and configured to be accessible by a tool member at a plurality of angular positions around the perimeter of the implant device.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Globus Medical Inc.Inventors: Noah Hansell, Paul W. Millhouse, Edward Karpowicz, Matthew Hansell, William Rhoda, Andrew Lee, Michael Lee Boyer, II, Craig Billman
