Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for modifying, cutting and/or shaping surgical fixation components of various configurations, including spinal fixation rods and related components.

Multiple fulcrum cutter

Open shear handle

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for improving medical instruments and related tools, such as a ratcheting module that can be attached to various surgical instruments used during surgery.

Surgical ratcheting assembly

A surgical bender for use in bending and/or plastically deforming a variety of types and/or shapes of materials in medical and/or surgical applications. Various embodiments include a compact and easily sterilizable multiple fulcrum arrangement that utilizes a series of interlocked actuating lever arms to greatly multiply an actuating force applied to a pair of handles for application to an intended material.

Multiple fulcrum bender

Devices, systems and methods for holding devices, including tool holders and/or associated apparatus, that can be attached to various driving mechanisms. Various embodiments can include one or more canted, or slanted, coil springs that are capable of forming to various shapes by the application of a controlled force.

Tool holder with coiled springs

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for improving the cleaning and/or sterilization of medical instruments and related tools, such as a cleanable ratcheting module that can be attached to various surgical instruments used during surgery, and then easily and efficiently cleaned. Cleaning of the tool is facilitated by various ports and/or openings in the device that allow for cleaning fluids, liquids and/or other gases to freely flow through interior aspects of the module.

Screw retention for interbody implant

A spinal interbody implant has a bone screw retention mechanism that prohibits bone screws from backing out after the bone screws are installed. A bone screw retention plate is received in a plate retention area of the implant to provide a barrier that keeps the installed bone screws from backing out of their bone screw pocket. The bone screw retention mechanism consists of a retention plate and a configured plate retention area in a face of the implant body. Retention plate fasteners may be used to retain the configured plate. In one form, the bone screw retention mechanism consists of a retention plate, a configured plate retention area in a face of the implant body, and a retention plate bolt. In another form, the bone screw retention mechanism consists of a retention plate, a configured plate retention area in a face of the implant body, and a retention plate bolt.

Spinal interbody implant with bone screw retention

The present invention is directed to a spinal implant system that incorporates unique snap, or spring loaded, features to assist the surgeon in the placement of screws, rods, hooks and transverse connectors. The poly-axial movement also uses a more direct loading lower saddle into the bone screw to improve locking of the construct.

Spinal stabilization system

The present invention is directed to a compact and pocketable camera support that attaches to an outer separate case or directly to the camera, tablet or phone body. This system uses one or more legs and/or other support features that fold away from the base of the invention and support the device whether it is a camera, phone or laptop/tablet computing device.

Phone camera tablet bipod support system

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for inhibiting, preventing and/or hindering eavesdropping or accidental use of cameras and microphones of a portable electronic device (PED), in order to assist the user with maintaining their personal privacy.

Portable electronic device privacy system

A spinal implant has a mechanism for inhibiting a bone screw used in attaching the spinal implant to the spine from backing out from the spinal implant once the bone screw has been received in the spinal implant. The spinal implant has a bone screw bore defining a bore wall in which is disposed a resilient closed curve band or ring. The resilient closed curve band has a plurality of resilient segments that extend into the bore. Each one of the plurality of resilient segments form a spring that allows a head of a bone screw to ingress there through but prevents the head of the bone screw from egress there from. The resilient closed curve band forms a retention ring that is received in one or more slots, channels, grooves or the like in the bore hole wall. The plurality of resilient segments are formed as arcs, curves and/or configured arcs/curves that extend radially inward from outer arced or curved portions of the retention ring.
