20090210008 | Modular spine plate with projection and socket interface - A modular spine plate is formed of two or more spine plate components that connect to one another through projection and socket interfaces. The projection and socket interfaces may provide for snap fit features that allow locking connectivity between the spine plate components. The modular spine plate components constitute a single end plate component and a single center or middle plate component. The end plate component has a first end plate leg and a second end plate leg. One of the first and second end plate legs includes an end socket while the other of the first and second end plate legs includes an end projection sized to be received in the end socket. The center plate component has a first center plate leg, a second center plate leg, a third center plate leg, and a fourth center plate leg. One of the first and second center plate legs includes a center socket while the other of the first and second center plate legs includes a center projection. To create N-level modular spine components, end plate components may be joined to one another through 180° rotation, center plate components may be joined with end plate components through 180° rotation, and center plate components may be joined with center plate components through 180° rotation with end plate components through 180° rotation. | 08-20-2009 |

20100305705 | EXPANDABLE SPINAL INTERBODY AND INTRAVERTEBRAL BODY DEVICES - A device for insertion into a spinal (intervertebral or intravertebral) space is expandable from a first circumference to a second circumference through axial compression of segments of the device, particularly once the device has been properly situated within a vertebral space. The interbody/intravertebral body device is characterized by a plurality of axially stacked, individual segments that are provided on a central insertion and deployment rod. Each segment includes a central plate or body to which are pivotally attached plate or leaf structures. Pivoting of the structures provides a collapsed or unexpanded position of the first circumference and an open or expanded position of the second circumference. | 12-02-2010 |

20130136899 | FLOOR MAT WITH ISOLATED SUPPORT MEMBERS - A floor mat is provided, including a mat body having an upper surface, and a heel pad disposed on the upper surface with a heel pad upper surface and an underside from which depend a plurality of isolated support members projecting generally perpendicularly from the underside such that the heel pad provides compressive strength and enhanced flexibility. | 05-30-2013 |
20130204374 | IN-SITU FORMED SPINAL IMPLANT - An in-situ formed spinal implant is provided, including an elongate strip having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, the strip having a plurality of spaced teeth disposed along edges of the strip. The strip has a generally arcuate or concave cross-section and is configured for being coiled into a spiral from the proximate end to the distal end for placement between adjacent spinal vertebrae, such that upon formation of the coiled shape, the teeth on a first edge engage one of the vertebrae, and teeth of an opposite, second edge engage the other of the vertebrae. | 08-08-2013 |
20130260083 | CARPET FLOOR MAT HAVING PLASTIC MIGRATING PREVENTION FORMATION, AND ASSOCIATED INJECTION MOLD - An injection molded carpet mat includes a flexible base having an upper surface defining a carpet recess, and an opposite lower surface. A carpet sheet is secured in the carpet recess by being integrally formed with the base, and having a napped top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral edge. The lower base surface having a plurality of spaced ribs supporting the carpet bottom surface adjacent the peripheral edge and defining a track on the lower base surface corresponding to the peripheral edge of the carpet sheet. | 10-03-2013 |
20150119886 | EXTERNAL FIXATION SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - A clamp system includes a first clamp, a second clamp, and a fixation rod. The first clamp at least partially defines a first jaw for receiving a support rod and a central opening. The second clamp at least partially defines a second jaw for receiving a pin and a central opening. At least one of the first clamp and the second clamp comprises a boss for rotatably positioning the first clamp relative to the second clamp. The fixation rod is received in the central openings of the first clamp and the second clamp for selectively securing a position of the first clamp relative to the second clamp. | 04-30-2015 |
