摘要： A method for facilitating fusion of bone structures includes providing an implant member for positioning between opposed bone structures, the implant member having a first end and a second end, and a segmentable portion having an outer wall defining an internal cavity for reception of bone growth inducing substances. The outer wall has at least one groove which extends substantially continuously about the outer wall to define a plurality of discrete ring-like segments. Each ring-like segment includes a plurality of apertures extending therethrough in communication with the internal cavity to permit fusion of vertebral bone tissue. The vertebral space defined between adjacent vertebral bodies is accessed, and the desired implant member length for insertion into the space between adjacent vertebral bodies is determined. The implant member is cut to the desired length and advanced within the vertebral space between the adjacent vertebral bodies.

摘要： A transverse connector clip for connecting cylindrical rods to each other in a spinal fixation system, comprising a clip body having a two sides. The first side of the clip body has a longitudinal axis and a pair of mirror image hemi-cylindrical shells. These hemi-cylindrical shells have an inner diameter that is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of a cylindrical rod. The clip body is shaped so as to allow the hemi-cylindrical shells to spread around the cylindrical rod when the cylindrical rod is inserted between said shells and to securely clamp on the cylindrical rod at a 90° angle relative to the clip body The second side of the clip body can comprise one of several embodiments; a short laterally extending hemi-cylinder rod, a laterally extending hemi-cylinder rod with a plurality of vertical teeth, a second pair of mirror image hemi-cylindrical shells, a laterally extending rod tapering from a proximal cylindrical shape to a distal hemi-cylinder shape, or a body portion and a locking mechanism configured to receive and lock a hemi-cylindrical or cylindrical rod.

摘要： The present invention is directed to one piece connector for connecting angularly misaligned implanted pedicle screws to transverse spinal rods in spinal fixation systems. The body portion includes a bore having an inside diameter and a longitudinal axis, with the longitudinal axis of the bore being positioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the leg portion. The leg portion includes a slot placed through a section of the leg portion, along the transverse axis of the leg portion and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the leg portion. The slot intersects the bore of the body portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bore. The slot allows the one piece connector to be securely clamped around a longitudinal spinal rod when a pedicle screw is implanted at variable distances from the longitudinal spinal rod. The one piece connector allows for angular misalignment of an implanted pedicle screw in relation to a longitudinal spinal rod and the one piece connector, and for the attachment of the one piece connector to both the longitudinal spinal rod and to the implanted pedicle screw with a single locking mechanism when the one piece connector is used in a spinal fixation system.

摘要： A fishing lure having the property of dispersing substantially all incident light in multi-directions results from the application of a glitter containing coating to the external surfaces of the lure body. Ultra-fine glitter particles are employed which are inserted in a highly viscous stage of a liquid mixture of a resin and a hardener and are maintained in a uniform dispersion throughout the entire body of the coating by rotation of the lure body during the completion of the hardening of the resin coating.
