    摘要: The present invention is directed to a spinal implant, preferably a bioresorbable spinal implant, for insertion between vertebrae bodies. The implant preferably includes an anterior surface, a posterior surface, first and second lateral surfaces extending therebetween, a superior surface for engaging one of the vertebrae bodies, an inferior surface for engaging the other vertebrae body, and a central bore which extends from the superior surface to the inferior surface. The central bore preferably has a generally lobe-shaped footprint. The anterior surface of the implant preferably includes a pair of vertical channels sized and configured to engage an insertion instrument and the superior surface preferably has a convexly curved surface extending substantially from the anterior surface to the posterior surface while the inferior surface preferably has a substantially constant taper extending from the anterior surface to the posterior surface.

    摘要: Directional sequential and blunt stimulating dilation systems (10) and related methods for accessing a patient's spine (2) through the patient's psoas muscle (4) include sequential directional dilators (30, 40) or a blunt stimulating dilator (100, 100′) with at least one channel formed therein. Neural elements or nerves (9) of the psoas muscle are preferably mapped using a stimulating probe (20) thereby defining a safe zone of passage to the patient's spine. The stimulating probe is inserted through the psoas muscle toward the patient's spine. The directional sequential dilators may be inserted to dilate the tissue on any side of the stimulating probe without significantly impacting tissue on the opposite side of the stimulating probe, which may be located, proximate the neural elements. The dilators are rendered directional by having bores (35, 45), by means of which they can be inserted over each other and over the probe, which are offset from their longitudinal axes (31, 41).

    摘要: Optical bio-discs for biochemical analysis, bio-disc analysis systems and biochemical analysis methods are described herein. In one embodiment, the bio-disc includes a sample analysis circuit that includes a separation membrane for separating an investigational feature of a sample. The bio-disc also includes a conjugate release pad, and an analysis membrane containing analysis zones that may be analyzed for the presence of analytes. An analysis method includes providing a sample to a separation membrane in a bio-disc, separating an investigational feature from the sample using a separation membrane, mixing reagents that include signal elements for detecting an analyte with the investigational feature so as to form a reagent-investigational feature mixture and capturing an analyte with a signal element bound thereto in an analysis zone on an analysis membrane. The method further includes determining the presence of an analyte by analyzing the signal elements present in the capture zone of the analysis membrane.
