An interspinous spacer assembly for insertion and/or implantation between spinous processes of adjacent superior and inferior vertebrae includes an interspinous spacer member sized and configured for insertion into the interspinous space located between adjacent spinous processes and an engagement mechanism for operatively coupling the spacer member to the adjacent spinous processes and for preventing migration of the assembly once implanted. The interspinous spacer assembly is adjustable to conform to the individual anatomy of a patient's spine.

Interspinous spacer assembly

An interspinous spacer assembly () for insertion and/or implantation between spinous processes of adjacent superior and inferior vertebrae includes an interspinous spacer member () sized and configured for insertion into the interspinous space located between adjacent spinous processes and an engagement mechanism () for operatively coupling the spacer member to the adjacent spinous processes and for preventing migration of the assembly once implanted. The interspinous spacer assembly is adjustable to conform to the individual anatomy of a patient's spine.

The present invention relates to a clamp, and, more particularly, to a clamp for securing the position of a bone anchor with respect to a longitudinal rod, preferably for use in the spine. The clamp may include a housing, a rod clamping assembly, and a bone anchor clamping assembly. The clamp preferably enables the longitudinal axis of the rod to be offset or laterally displaced from the longitudinal axis of the bone anchor. The rod clamping assembly and the bone anchor clamping assembly are preferably moveably coupled to the housing in order to provide increased flexibility to better accommodate the location and geometry of the longitudinal rod and to better accommodate bone positioning.

An intervertebral fusion cage for insertion between two adjacent, opposing vertebrae, wherein the fusion cage is constructed in a way that stress absorbed by the cage is transferred to the graft material in the hollow inner cavity, thus allowing ideal strain levels to be attained in the graft material under minimal loads, while also offering a level of protection to the graft material preventing mechanical failure of the graft material due to high strains.
