Various embodiments of a dural elevating and cutting apparatus and methods of use are disclosed herein.

Dura elevating and cutting apparatus

Various embodiments of a spinal shield having a shield body including a plurality of lateral extensions configured to be positioned over an exposed spinal canal for establishing a protective barrier around the contents of the exposed spinal canal are disclosed.

Systems and methods for a spinal shield for protecting the spinal cord and dura during surgical procedures

Embodiments of a device for forming incisions and extracting osseous tissue are disclosed. The device includes a body defining a channel. A blade is oriented in linear sliding engagement within the channel of the body. The device includes a stopping mechanism for restricting movement of the blade relative to the body. The device is engageable to an apparatus. The apparatus includes a fixed portion that defines a first end and a second end. A clamp is oriented along the fixed portion of the apparatus adjacent the device. The clamp and the device are collectively configured to remove bone tissue from a patient.

Apparatus and bone cutting device for removal of bone tissue

An apparatus for extraction of osseous tissue is disclosed. The apparatus includes a fixed portion and a clamp oriented along a generally central area of the fixed portion. The apparatus includes a first bone cutting device and a second bone cutting device coupled to the fixed portion and oriented around the clamp. The first bone cutting device and the second bone cutting device are coupled to the fixed portion using respective joints that accommodate orientations of the first bone cutting device and the second bone cutting device relative to the fixed portion along different horizontal and vertical axes. The clamp is configured to engage a first bone portion during a surgical procedure. The first bone cutting device and the second bone cutting device are configured to remove a second bone portion.

Apparatus for incision and removal of osseous tissue and methods thereof

Various embodiments of a coupler and an intradiscal implant for alignment and fusion of the sacroiliac joint are described herein.

Systems and methods for fixating, fusing and/or realigning the sacroiliac joint

A medical device is disclosed including a needle guide. The needle guide includes abase, a guide member, and a handle arrangement. The base defines a base channel and the guide member includes a guide member channel in communication with one another and configured for receiving a flexible needle. The guide member includes a non-linear portion and is generally flexible to accommodate passage of a flexible needle through a corresponding portion of the guide member channel. The handle arrangement is configured to accommodate stabilization of the needle guide during deployment.

System and methods for a non linear needle guide

Various embodiments of a pedicle screw assembly disclosed herein include a pedicle screw configured for engaging with bone tissue. The pedicle screw includes a body defining a plurality of channels through the body of the screw and in communication with a plurality of respective distal openings defined along the screw body. The pedicle screw assembly further includes an anchor defining a plurality of anchor members which are configured to be received at least partially through the plurality of channels and the plurality of respective distal openings to further engage the pedicle screw to the bone tissue.

Systems and methods for a pedicle screw assembly with anchor deployment

The present disclosure generally relates to a table-mounted retractor system for open-spine surgery. The table-mounted retractor system includes a frame, wherein the frame is situated lateral to the patient. The table-mounted retractor system further comprises a plurality of retractor hooks wherein each of the plurality of retractor hooks are in operative association with one of a plurality of tension lines, wherein each of the plurality of tension lines is engaged with the frame. Each one of the plurality of retractor hooks are operable to engage with the flesh of a patient as each of the tension lines pull the flesh back laterally towards the frame along each side of the patient.

Table mounted retractor system

The present disclosure generally relates to a sacroiliac joint coupler having a base plate and an angled plate for respective engagement with the sacrum and ilium are described herein. The sacroiliac joint coupler includes a bolt having a threaded distal end extending from a top face of the base plate and a fastener that couples the distal end of the bolt to the angled plate. In addition, the fastener may include a hinge or a locking ball.

A computing device and a three-dimensional printer are disclosed. Data associated with reference anatomical properties is accessed by the computing device to generate a set of 3D printing files. The 3D printing files are compiled using the computing device to generate a printing model defining an anatomic orientation corresponding to the reference anatomical properties. Printing parameters and materials for the printing model are configured referencing experimentally derived datasets that define predetermined settings for the printing parameters and materials that are suitable for constructing a synthetic anatomical model with properties related to the reference anatomical properties. A synthetic model is printed using the printing parameters and materials as configured. The printing parameters and materials may be modified as desired subsequent to biomechanical testing of the model. Additional synthetic anatomical components may be added to or included with the model during post-processing, or before or during formation of the model.
