A device and method for drilling a pilot hole within an object at a predetermined angle. The device includes a spacer having a lateral surface established by a first surface and a second surface and at least a portion of the lateral surface includes an extension. The extension having a proximal end and a distal end where the proximal end abuts the lateral surface and the distal end is configured to couple to a first end of a body. A guide body is also provided and is coupled to the device. The guide member includes a bore extending from a first end to a second end. Subsequent to disposing the spacer within the object, a drilling instrument may be disposed within the guide body thereby drilling out the pilot hole at the prescribed angle.

Trial sizer for alignment of pilot holes

A spinal implant device comprising a frame and a plurality of mechanical stiffness members extending from the frame, with the plurality of mechanical stiffness members being individually customized to provide a specific axial stiffness. The plurality of mechanical stiffness members may be coupled to the frame, and the plurality of mechanical stiffness members may be a plurality of wave-spring modules. A method of treating spinal disease includes determining actual spatial mechanical properties across a vertebral contact surface of a vertebra of a patient. The method may also include manufacturing a spinal implant device that has conforming spatial mechanical properties that are specific to the patient and that are based on the actual spatial mechanical properties of the vertebral contact surface. The method may include surgically implanting the spinal implant device against the vertebral contact surface such that the actual spatial mechanical properties and the conforming spatial mechanical properties align.

A method for securing a first interacting element to a second interacting element is provided. The first interacting element includes a lateral surface established by a first surface and a second surface and at least a portion of the lateral surface includes a thread receipt. The second interacting element includes a distal end and a proximal end that establishes a body therebetween. The body has a thread that is configured to at least partially engage with the thread receipt of the first interacting element. The second interacting element is then inserted at least partially through the surface of an object. The thread receipt of the first interacting element is then abutted adjacent to the thread of the second interacting element. Upon rotation of the second interacting element the thread of the second interacting element at least partially engaged with the thread receipt of the first interacting element.

System and method for fastening of two or more interacting elements

A device and method for drilling a pilot hole within an object at a predetermined angle. The device includes a spacer having a lateral surface established by a first surface and a second surface and at least a portion of the lateral surface includes an extension. The extension having a proximal end and a distal end where the proximal end abuts the lateral surface and the distal end is configured to coupled to a first end of a body. A guide body is also provided and is coupled to the device. The guide member includes a bore extending from a first end to a second end. Subsequent to disposing the spacer within the object, a drilling instrument may be disposed within the guide body thereby drilling out the pilot hole at the prescribed angle.

An implant and method for posterior sacroiliac fusion having a plate for placement across the posterior surface of the sacroiliac joint, a transverse pin to slide through the plate and transverse the joint as well as provide an aperture to receive bone graft, and a sacral screw to be inserted through the plate.

A method for securing a first interacting element to a second interacting element is provided. The first interacting element includes a lateral surface established by a first surface and a second surface and at least a portion of the lateral surface includes a thread receipt. The second interacting element includes a distal end and a proximal end that establishes a body therebetween. The body has a thread that is configured to at least partially engage with the thread receipt of the first interacting element. The second interacting element is then inserted at least partially through the surface of an object. The thread receipt of the first interacting element is then abutted adjacent to the thread of the second interacting element. Upon rotation of the second interacting element the thread of the second interacting element at least partially engaged with the thread receipt of the fist interacting element.

A device and method for treatment of post-operative surgical site wounds. Device includes an elongated hollow shaft that spans from the wound closure to the deep wound area, the internal end abutting a wound dressing and the external end connecting to a device that can provide negative-pressure suction and irrigation. Device providing one or more of irrigation, suction, and/or local antibiotic delivery to deep infections through a closed-wound. The method for removal includes narrowing a removal element relative to the long axis, collapsing the wound dressing; removing the wound dressing through the elongated shaft; and removing the device through a closed wound, avoiding a second removal surgery.

A plate including elements for receiving threads of a fastener element such that the fastener element may be positioned close, if not flush, to a surface of the plate allowing placement of the assembly much closer to a joint than previous known methods and without interfering with the function of a joint.

System and methods for positioning of two or more interacting elements

Antimicrobial polymers, composition including the polymers, and methods of forming and using the polymers and compositions are disclosed. The compositions have reverse thermal gelling properties and transform from a liquid to a gel&#x2014;e.g., near or below body temperature, such as a skin temperature in an operating room. The polymers and compositions can be applied to a surface, such as a surface of skin proximate an incision site prior to surgery, to provide a relatively sterile area near the site.
