US Patent:
7128761, Oct 31, 2006
Filed:
Dec 10, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/732660
Inventors:
James M. Kuras - Macedonia OH, US
Lee Strnad - Broadview Heights OH, US
Keith Duke - Cleveland OH, US
Kari Zimmers - Solon OH, US
Edward C. Benzel - Gates Mills OH, US
Isador H. Lieberman - Pepper Pike OH, US
Raymond S. Ross - Sale, GB
Assignee:
AxioMed Spine Corporation - Beachwood OH
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
623 1715, 606 61
Abstract:
An apparatus for replacing a damaged spinal disc in a spinal column includes a resilient core having a first surface and a second surface. A first retaining device is connected to the first surface of the resilient core. The first retaining device includes an outer surface engageable with a first vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the first surface of the resilient core. A second retaining device is connected to the second surface of the resilient core. The second retaining device has an outer surface engageable with a second vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the second surface of the resilient core. The inner surface of the first retaining device is spaced from the core. The core deflects into engagement with the inner surface of the first retaining device upon relative movement between the first and second retaining devices.

Method For Replacing A Damaged Spinal Disc

US Patent:

Assignee:
Axiomed Spine Corporation - Beachwood OH
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1715, 623 1711, 623 1716, 606279
Abstract:
A method for replacing a damaged spinal disc between first and second vertebrae of a spinal column includes connecting a first mounting member with the first vertebra of the spinal column. An artificial disc is moved between the first and second vertebrae and into engagement with the first mounting member to guide the artificial disc into position between the first and second vertebrae. The artificial disc includes a resilient core having a first surface and a second surface, a first retaining member connected to the first surface of the resilient core, and a second retaining member connected to the second surface of the resilient core. The first retaining member has an outer surface engageable with a first vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the first surface of the resilient core. The second retaining member has an outer surface engageable with the second vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the second surface of the resilient core.

Apparatus For Replacing A Damaged Spinal Disc

US Patent:
7695517, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Dec 10, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/731964
Inventors:
Edward C. Benzel - Gates Mills OH, US
Isador H. Lieberman - Pepper Pike OH, US

Assignee:
AxioMed Spine Corporation - Beachwood OH
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1715, 623 1711
Abstract:
An apparatus for replacing a damaged spinal disc in a spinal column includes an artificial disc. The artificial disc includes a resilient core having a first surface and a second surface, a first retaining member connected to the first surface of the resilient core, and a second retaining member connected to the second surface of the resilient core. The first retaining member has an outer surface engageable with a first vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the first surface of the resilient core. The second retaining device has an outer surface engageable with a second vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the second surface of the resilient core. A first mounting member is connectable with the first vertebra and the artificial disc to position the artificial disc between the first and second vertebrae. The first mounting member is engageable with the artificial disc after being connected to the first vertebra to guide movement of the artificial disc into position between the first and second vertebrae.

Method And Apparatus For Replacing A Spinal Disc

US Patent:
7850697, Dec 14, 2010
Filed:
Dec 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/294925
Inventors:
Raymond S. Ross - Sale, GB
Isador H. Lieberman - Pepper Pike OH, US
Edward C. Benzel - Gates Mills OH, US
Lee Strnad - Broadview Heights OH, US
Keith Duke - Cleveland OH, US
James M. Kuras - Macedonia OH, US

Assignee:
Axiomed Spine Corporation - Beachwood OH
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
A61B 17/88
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
606 86R, 606246, 606279, 623 1711, 623 1715, 623 1716
Abstract:
An apparatus for replacing a spinal disc which has a rail extending from the outer surface to connect the apparatus to the first vertebra. The rail extends a first distance from the outer surface adjacent a first end. The rail extends a second distance from the outer surface adjacent a second end. The second distance is greater than the first distance. In another aspect of the apparatus, the first rail extends generally transverse to the first and second ends. The second rail extends generally transverse to the first rail.

Apparatus For Replacing A Damaged Spinal Disc

US Patent:
8449616, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Mar 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/047857
Inventors:
Kari B. Zimmers - Solon OH, US
James E. Barber - Avon OH, US
Keith Duke - Cleveland OH, US
James M. Kuras - Macedonia OH, US
Rebecca Blice - Akron OH, US
Tawny Bragg - Chicago IL, US

E. Raymond Ross - Cheshire, GB
Assignee:
Axiomed Spine Corporation - Garfield Heights OH
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
An apparatus for replacing a damaged spinal disc in a spinal column includes a first retaining device having an outer surface engageable with a first vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface. A second retaining device has an outer surface engageable with a second vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface. A resilient core has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface engages the inner surface of the first retaining device. The second surface engages the inner surface of the second retaining device. The resilient core has a tapered radially outer surface extending from adjacent the first surface to adjacent the second surface. The first retaining device may have a flange extending toward the second retaining device. A concave surface may extend between the first surface and the radially outer surface. The concave surface of the core may engage the flange when the apparatus is free of a load.

Artificial Disc

US Patent:
2008031, Dec 25, 2008
Filed:
Jun 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/821241
Inventors:
James M. Kuras - Macedonia OH, US
Raymond S. Ross - Sale, GB
Keith Duke - Cleveland OH, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
A61F 2/28
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 1716, 623 2358
Abstract:
An artificial disc includes an intermediate section which is disposed between upper and lower retainers. The intermediate section includes a first portion which resists rotation of one of the retainers, for example, the upper retainer, from a first position to a second position. A second portion of the intermediate section of the artificial disc resists rotation of the upper retainer from the second position to a third position. The second portion of the intermediate section of the artificial disc is ineffective to provide significant resistance to relative rotation between the retainers during rotation of the upper retainer relative to the lower retainer from the first position to the second position. The artificial disc may be provided with projections which engage protrusions on the intermediate section to resist rotation of the upper retainer relative to the lower retainer from the second position to the third position.

International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
An artificial disc to replace a damaged spinal disc in a spinal column includes a resilient core which is fixedly connected to first and second plates. The first and second plates engage upper and lower vertebra in the patient's spine.
