Abstract: A method of producing an osteoinductive composition for in vivo use, in which the method includes obtaining bone tissue; cleaning the bone tissue with a plurality of washes; milling, grinding, and/or cutting the cleaned bone tissue into a plurality of bone pieces or fibers of a desired size; and demineralizing the plurality of bone pieces or fibers of a desired size to expose one or more native bone proteins, with demineralizing including combining the plurality of bone pieces or fibers in a reaction vessel with an ionic acid solution, soaking the plurality of bone pieces or fibers in the ionic acid solution, and exposing the one or more native proteins in the bone pieces or fibers.

Abstract: Technologies are generally provided for devices, systems, and methods to provide spinal fixation, spinal stabilization, and/or spinal fusion. Example devices may include a first end and a second end with a middle portion extending between the first and second end. The first end may be configured to be in contact with a portion of a first or upper vertebra and the second end may be configured to be in contact with a portion of a second or lower vertebra in an adjacent vertebral pair. Portions of the vertebra which may be in contact with the device may include lamia, processes, vertebral bodies, and facet joints. The example devices may include bone engagement features, such as screws or similar fasteners, to enhance stabilization and fixation when in contact with the vertebrae. Additionally, the devices may include a bone integration feature to promote bone growth and to facilitate fusion between the vertebrae.

Abstract: A device adapted to be positioned between two bone regions, the device comprising at least one wall defining at least one interior cavity, and, a load arrangement extending from the wall and comprising at least one interacting feature configured to load material positioned within the cavity by interacting with either a second interacting feature or the wall.

Abstract: Technologies are generally provided for devices and methods for use in bone fixation, bone fusion and/or bone stabilization. In various embodiments, the devices and methods relate to a bone stabilization having a first end, second end and a bridge connecting the first and second ends. The first end has a bone engagement feature and may be fused to bone over time without the use of osteogenic materials.

Abstract: The instrument to manipulate the tissue of a body of a patient has jaws (15a, 15b) that move away from each other in a parallel motion. The artiuclating means for the jaws comprises a scissor type linkage (24a, 24b, 25a, 25b) constrained within a support (11). Movement of the jaws (15a, 15b) is enacted through the reciprocating rod (14) acting upon one end of said scissors linkage.
