    Abstract: Tissue distractor devices, systems, and methods for soft tissue expansion in order to create a space between the tissue to improve visualization and for increased working space during surgery are disclosed. One method for separating soft tissues for cannula access to a treatment site within a patient body comprises providing a catheter having a tissue distractor on a distal end thereof and positioning the catheter between the soft tissues near the treatment site. Once properly positioned, the tissue distractor is expanded so as to separate the soft tissues. The tissue distractor is then elongated by mechanical actuation so as to provide cannula access to the treatment site. The cannula forms a working channel for surgical procedures, particularly minimally invasive surgical procedures.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a cavity in an interior body region are described. In one described method, a spring disposed between a first plate and a second plate is compressed. The compressed spring is inserted into a cannula comprising a cannula distal end. The spring is decompressed, at least in part, once at least one of the first and second plates is inserted beyond the cannula distal end to a treatment area adjacent a tissue. The decompression of the spring increases a distance between the first and second plates.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a scaffold configured to be disposed in a bone. The scaffold is configured to move from a first configuration to a second configuration. The scaffold in the second configuration is expanded from the first configuration. A selectively-expandable actuator is configured to be removably disposed within the scaffold. The selectively-expandable actuator is configured to move at least a portion of the scaffold to the second configuration when the selectively-expandable actuator is moved to an expanded configuration. A shape of the selectively-expandable actuator is substantially the same as a shape of the scaffold when the selectively-expandable actuator and the scaffold are in the second configuration. The selectively-expandable actuator configured to be removed from the scaffold when in a collapsed configuration. The scaffold is configured to remain substantially in the second configuration after the scaffold has been expanded by the actuator.
