20110319898 | Instruments and Methods for Non-Parallel Disc Space Preparation - Flexible shavers and curved access ports that reduce access and trajectory problems associated with conventional lateral approaches to the lower spine. These devices and methods allow for preparing a disc space in the lower spine at an angle that is parallel to the disc space. Consequently, these devices and methods allow for preparing with less endplate damage. | 12-29-2011 |
20110319998 | Universal Trial for Lateral Cages - A method of trialing an intervertebral disc space, comprising the steps of: | 12-29-2011 |
20110320000 | Multi-Segment Lateral Cage Adapted to Flex Substantially in the Coronal Plane - The present invention concerns several fusion devices and methods for laterally inserting a fusion device at an initial trajectory that is not parallel to the disc space. Each fusion device incorporates components that enable flexing, bending or pivoting of the device during its final approach to the prepared disc space. | 12-29-2011 |
20130166027 | Lateral Cage with Integrated Plate - An intervertebral fusion cage having a plate pivotally attached thereto. The plate and cage are pivotally coupled but move independently of each other. The plate is made up of two smaller plate halves: a superior plate half and an inferior plate half Both plate halves form the larger plate. The plates are joined using a cross pin that provides a pivot point about which the plate halves rotate. The same pin also joins the plate halves to the cage, thus allowing the plate halves to pivot about the cage. It is believed that the device of the present invention will reduce the difficulties in placing a lateral plate down a port and manipulating it into position. Mating the plate to the cage will reduce the chances of micromotion and improve fusion rate, resulting in improved patient outcomes. | 06-27-2013 |
20130238006 | Conformable Soft Tissue Removal Instruments - Surgical curettes or rakes with cutting edges conform or deflect to allow for contouring that follows the bony anatomy. The cutting tips can be pre-sterile, disposable and made from flexible materials including metals and polymers. The disposable tips ensure that a sharp cutting edge is exposed to the endplate for each procedure. The tips can also be adjusted to change the size of the cutting surface and window for retaining shaved disc material. The tips can pivot to provide for a self adjusting angle that allows the cutting edge to have full contact with the endplate at various angles like the pivot on a disposable razor blade. | 09-12-2013 |
20130261673 | QUAD ANCHOR LATERAL VERTEBRAL BODY FIXATION PLATES - A bone plate secured by both a screw and a post. The head of the post may act as a cam that prevents screw backout. Preferably, the shaft of the first post passes partially through the first post through hole so that the distal unthreaded portion of its shaft substantially extends beyond the plate and the proximal threaded portion of its shaft substantially remains in the first post through hole. | 10-03-2013 |
20130345813 | Dual Anchor Lateral Vertebral Body Fixation Plates - Plate-based fixation system having dual anchors. The plate can include cams. The plates can have a banana-shape. The plates can be adapted to receive a polyaxial bone screw. The plates can be jointed so as to be height-adjustable. | 12-26-2013 |

20140088990 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SURGICAL AND INTERVENTIONAL PLANNING, SUPPORT, POST-OPERATIVE FOLLOW-UP, AND, FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY TRACKING - Various systems and methods are provided for surgical and interventional planning, support, post-operative follow-up, and functional recovery tracking. In general, a patient can be tracked throughout medical treatment including through initial onset of symptoms, diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment. In one embodiment, a patient and one or more medical professionals involved with treating the patient can electronically access a comprehensive treatment planning, support, and review system. The system can provide recommendations regarding diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment based on data gathered from the patient and the medical professional(s). The system can manage the tracking of multiple patients, thereby allowing for data comparison between similar aspects of medical treatments and for learning over time through continual data gathering, analysis, and assimilation to decision-making algorithms. | 03-27-2014 |

20130058589 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFORMING A NON-LINEAR LENS-DISTORTED IMAGE - A method and apparatus for image processing a lens-distorted image (e.g., a fisheye image) is provided. The method includes partitioning coordinate points in a selected output image into tiles. The output image is an undistorted rendition of a subset of the lens-distorted image. Coordinate points on a border of the tiles in the output image are selected. For each tile, coordinate points in the lens-distorted image corresponding to each selected coordinate point in the output image are calculated. In addition, for each tile, a bounding box on the lens-distorted image is selected. The bounding box includes the calculated coordinates in the lens-distorted image. The bounding boxes are expanded so that they encompass all coordinate points in the lens-distorted image that map to all coordinate points in their respective corresponding tiles. Output pixel values are generated for each tile from pixel values in their corresponding expanded bounding boxes. | 03-07-2013 |

20140261712 | Skimmer System - A method and device for extracting fluid from a body of fluid is has a bellows with a feed system interfaced to a first end of the bellows. A floating head is interfaced to a distal second end of the bellows and has one or more buoyancy elements. The buoyancy elements cause the floating head to float at a surface of the fluid. One or more inlets on a lower surface of the floating head are in fluid communication with the distal second end of the bellows, such that, fluid from a stratum beneath the surface of the fluid is drawn into the inlet(s), passes through the bellows, and into the feed system. | 09-18-2014 |
