20090093852 | SPINAL STABILIZATION TREATMENT METHODS FOR MAINTAINING AXIAL SPINE HEIGHT AND SAGITAL PLANE SPINE BALANCE - A proactive spinal treatment method is for maintaining axial spine height and sagital plane spine balance in a spine comprising vertebrae and intervertebral discs between adjacent vertebrae. The method may include collecting a plurality of spinal health parameters relating to predicted spinal degeneration risk for a given patient's spine, and analyzing the plurality of spinal health parameters to generate a proposed stabilizing implantation treatment using a finite element spinal model. The method may further include performing the proposed stabilizing implantation treatment on the given patient's spine to proactively treat the patient to maintain axial spine height and sagital plane spine balance. | 04-09-2009 |
20100196442 | METHODS FOR TREATING OPEN WOUNDS - A method for treating an open wound, such as a surgical wound, may include preparing a first composition including a platelet poor plasma (PPP), and preparing a second composition including a platelet rich plasma (PRP). A layer of the first composition may be applied within the open wound, and a layer of the second composition may be applied within the open wound over the layer of the first composition. | 08-05-2010 |
20110029083 | Flexible Spinal Implant - A flexible spinal implant for insertion into an intervertebral disc space for intervertebral stabilization is provided comprising a flexible implant section which enables bending of the implant body to facilitate insertion of the flexible spinal implant into the disc space via a spinal surgical procedure. The flexible spinal implant comprises a leading end, a trailing end and a flexible mid section connecting the leading end and the trailing end, wherein the implant is deformable at or about the flexible mid section to thereby permit a substantially straight entry of the implant into the disc space, and delivered to the selected disc space at a desired insertion angle of approach via a spinal surgical procedure. The implant can have a leading end comprising a curved or bullet shaped configuration, and the flexible mid section may be comprised of a flexible material. | 02-03-2011 |
20110029085 | FLEXIBLE SPINAL IMPLANT - A flexible spinal implant for insertion into an intervertebral disc space for sagittal and/or coronal intervertebral stabilization is provided comprising a flexible implant which enables bending of the flexible implant to facilitate insertion of the flexible spinal implant into the disc space via a spinal surgical procedure. The flexible spinal implant comprises a leading end, a trailing end flexibly connected to the leading end, a locking mechanism, wherein the implant is deformable at or about a flexible section to thereby permit a substantially straight entry of the implant into the disc space, and delivered to the selected disc space at a desired insertion angle of approach via a spinal surgical procedure. The implant can have a leading end comprising a curved or bullet shaped configuration, and the flexible section may be comprised of a flexible material or flexible sections which may be lockingly engaged. | 02-03-2011 |
20120226319 | INTERBODY DEVICE AND PLATE FOR SPINAL STABILIZATION AND INSTRUMENTS FOR POSITIONING SAME - Systems, methods and devices for providing stabilization between first and second vertebrae are provided. More particularly, in one form a system includes an implant configured to be positioned in a disc space between the first and second vertebrae and a freestanding plate for engagement with extradiscal surfaces of the first and second vertebrae. The system also includes an insertion instrument with an engaging portion configured to releasably engage with the implant and the plate such that the implant and plate can be positioned together relative to the first and second vertebrae. In one aspect, an angular orientation of the implant relative to the plate is adjustable when the implant and the plate are engaged by the instrument. In this or another aspect, the implant and plate are held in a contiguous relationship when engaged by the instrument. However, different forms and applications are also envisioned. | 09-06-2012 |
