An access device for accessing an intervertebral disc having an outer shield comprising an access shield with a larger diameter (˜16-30 mm) that reaches from the skin down to the facet line, with an inner shield having a second smaller diameter (˜5-12 mm) extending past the access shield and reaches down to the disc level. This combines the benefits of the direct visual microsurgical/mini open approaches and the percutaneous, 'ultra-MIS' techniques.

Multi-shield spinal access system

An assembly for rectifying vertebrae, comprises: two bone anchoring means intended to be implanted on a same vertebra, a triangulation bar and a connection means for connecting the triangulation bar to each bone anchoring means and for holding the bone anchoring means in a given position in order to form, with the triangulation bar connected to the bone anchoring means by means of the connection means, a rigid triangular assembly, the triangulation bar comprising an attachment area for attaching a correction instrument arranged to ensure a rigid attachment in rotation and in translation of the correction instrument on the triangulation bar.

Triangulation assembly for rectifying vertebrae, and spinal osteosynthesis system comprising such assemblies

An access device for accessing an intervertebral disc having an outer shield comprising an access shield with a larger diameter (&#x2dc;16-30 mm) that reaches from the skin down to the facet line, with an inner shield having a second smaller diameter (&#x2dc;5-12 mm) extending past the access shield and reaches down to the disc level. This combines the benefits of the direct visual microsurgical/mini open approaches and the percutaneous, 'ultra-MIS' techniques.

An inflatable balloon for diagnostics and treatment of diseased discs or fractured bones. The balloon is a multi-volume balloon comprised of a plurality of adjustable and expandable single volumes. Further disclosed are methods of forming, expanding, and implanting the multi-volume balloon for proper placement and stabilization of the diseased discs or fractured bones. Still further disclosed are kits for aligning and stabilizing a bone, disc, or spinal motion segment.

Adjustable multi-volume balloon for spinal interventions

A spinal implant including a first component, a second component and a core component is disclosed. The first component includes a first exterior surface configured for engaging a first vertebra and a first interior surface opposing the first exterior surface. The second component includes a second exterior surface configured for engaging a second vertebra and a second interior surface opposing the second exterior surface. The core component is situated between the first and second components and adhered to the first interior surface and the second interior surface, wherein at least one of the first interior surface and the second interior surface includes a concavity such that at the location of the concavity, the core component includes a corresponding convexity. Further, the core component includes a sidewall, wherein the sidewall comprises a concavity.

Spinal implant

An intervertebral disk prosthesis (), comprising:

Intervertebral disk prosthesis

A surgical retractor has a rail, a first arm protruding from the rail at an angle, a second arm being movably mounted on the rail and extending substantially parallel to the first arm, and a multiplicity of holding elements mounted on the first and second arms. A holding element has a multi-axis joint for pivotably holding a blade for engaging tissue to be retracted. In this way, a most flexible surgical retractor is provided.

Thoracic retractor

An intervertebral disk prosthesis, having a rigid top plate, a rigid bottom plate, and an elastically deformable intermediate cushion housed between the two inner surfaces of the plates. The cushion, at rest, possesses a wedge-shape possessing at least one front notch open into the larger end of the wedge and one rear notch open into the narrower end. The faces of the notches co-operate by contact over an area of magnitude that varies as a function of the intensity and/or direction of the load to which the prosthesis is subjected. The bottoms of the notches are spaced apart from each other and situated in the narrower half of the prosthesis.
