摘要:
A bone graft containment device includes a body formed via one or more helical structures extending about a longitudinal axis of the body from a first end to a second end to define a channel extending longitudinally therethrough. The channel is configured to receive a bone graft or bone graft substitute material therein, the one or more helical structures formed of a material permitting the body to be one of expanded, compressed and curved to fill a target space of a target bone.

A distance interbody device for introducing a biomaterial to a vertebral body includes a shaped body and a dispense mechanism operable to dispense biomaterial. The shaped body includes a top side, a bottom side, and a lateral wall forming a peripheral wall that extends between the top and bottom sides. The shaped body is provided with at least one through channel and at least one anchoring element. The through channel includes an internal reservoir for the biomaterial. The through channel passes through the anchoring element to at least one outlet opening located in the at least one anchoring element.

An interbody spacer system for insertion between a first vertebra and a second vertebra according to the principles of the present disclosure includes and interbody spacer and a first curved blade. The interbody spacer includes an outer wall and a first surface for engaging an endplate of the first vertebra and a second surface for engaging an endplate of the second vertebra. A first entry aperture in the outer wall and a first exit aperture on the first surface communicate with a first curved path extending therebetween. The first curved blade enters the first entry aperture and exits through the first exit aperture to secure the spacer to the first vertebra.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for introduction into a body, the device assuming within the body a predefined shape, the device comprising: an elongated element (10) formed primarily from a plurality of segments (12) sequentially interconnected so as to form an effective hinge (14) between adjacent of the segments; and a substantially straight elongated-element-restricting structure (20) fitting to the shape of said elongated element in a straightened configuration; wherein the segments and the effective hinges are configured such that: (a) when the elongated element is confined to a substantially straight state, the effective hinges transfer compressive forces from one segment to the next so that the elongated element can be pushed so as to advance along said elongated-element-restricting structure (20); and (b) when the elongated element is not confined by said elongated-element-restricting structure (20), the effective hinges allow deflection of one segment relative to the next segment until at least one abutment surface of each segment comes into abutment with at least one corresponding abutment surface of the next segment, thereby defining a fully flexed state of the elongated element, the fully flexed state corresponding to a predefined shape of the elongated element.
