Implantable Prosthetic Or Tissue Expanding Device

US Patent:
6783546, Aug 31, 2004
Filed:
Mar 22, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/815387
Inventors:
James F. Zucherman - San Francisco CA
Ken Y. Hsu - S.F. CA
Scott Yerby - Montara CA
Robert A. Smith - Jackson MS
Assignee:
Keraplast Technologies, Ltd. - San Antonio TX
International Classification:
A61F 244
US Classification:
623 1716, 623 1712
Abstract:
A keratin hydrogel-filled implantable prosthetic device. One device is a breast implant for augmenting or reconstructing a human breast including an envelope containing a keratin hydrogel. Another device is an implant for the intervertebral disc space. One keratin hydrogel is formed from a solid precursor which forms a keratin hydrogel upon addition of water. One source of keratin is human hair. In one method, an envelope suitable for implantation and a solid keratin hydrogel precursor are provided. The solid can be in fibrous or powder form. The solid precursor can be inserted into the envelope interior. A small incision near the breast can be made and the envelope inserted into the incision. After insertion, water can be injected into the envelope interior, preferably through the incision and through a self-sealing port in the envelope. In one method, the implant is provided as a kit, with the envelope and keratin hydrogel provided.

Artificial Vertebral Disk Replacement Implant With Translating Pivot Point

US Patent:
7083649, Aug 1, 2006
Filed:
Oct 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/684669
Inventors:
James F. Zucherman - San Francisco CA, US
Ken Y. Hsu - San Francisco CA, US
Charles J. Winslow - Walnut Creek CA, US
Scott A. Yerby - Montara CA, US
Steve Mitchell - Pleasant Hill CA, US
John Flynn - Concord CA, US
Assignee:
St. Francis Medical Technologies, Inc. - Concord CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 1714, 623 1715
Abstract:
An artificial vertebral disk replacement implant is disclosed along with its method of operation and a method of implanting. The implant has first and second plates that each mate with a vertebral body. Each plate has one side for mating with a vertebral body. The first plate has a socket on one side, and the second plate has an elongated ball on one side. The ball of the first plate and the socket of the second plate form a ball-and-socket joint when the two plates are in contact with each other. The implant achieves a range of motion equivalent to a natural range of motion.

System And Method For Replacing Degenerated Spinal Disks

US Patent:
7217291, May 15, 2007
Filed:
Dec 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/730717
Inventors:
James F. Zucherman - San Francisco CA, US
Ken Y. Hsu - San Francisco CA, US
Charles J. Winslow - Walnut Creek CA, US
Scott A. Yerby - Montara CA, US
John J. Flynn - Concord CA, US
Steve Mitchell - Pleasant Hill CA, US
John A. Markwart - Castro Valley CA, US
Assignee:
St. Francis Medical Technologies, Inc. - Alameda CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1715, 623 1713
Abstract:
A system and method for replacing degenerated spinal disks in accordance with the present invention can substitute for interbody fusion techniques by replacing degenerated spinal disks with artificial spinal disks. In one embodiment, the system can comprise one or more artificial spinal disks, each comprising an upper and lower housing, a first spacer and a second spacer partially enclosed by a cavity formed by the housings, and a shaft with a spring positioned between the first spacer and the second spacer such that the spacers are urged apart.

Tools For Implanting An Artificial Vertebral Disk

US Patent:
7497859, Mar 3, 2009
Filed:
Oct 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/685134
Inventors:
James F. Zucherman - San Francisco CA, US
Ken Y. Hsu - San Francisco CA, US
Charles J. Winslow - Walnut Creek CA, US
Scott A. Yerby - Montara CA, US
Steve Mitchell - Pleasant Hill CA, US

Assignee:
Kyphon SARL
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606 79, 30304, 30167, D8 47
Abstract:
This invention relates to tools for preparing vertebral bodies in the spine for the implantation of an artificial vertebral disk replacement and related method. A first tool is disclosed that prepares the vertebral bodies for implantation by cutting offset channels in the vertebral bodies. The second tool holds two plates of the implant during the implantation process. This invention also relates to an artificial vertebral disk replacement, a method of operation, and a method of implanting.

Method Of Laterally Inserting An Artificial Vertebral Disk Replacement With Translating Pivot Point

US Patent:
7503935, Mar 17, 2009
Filed:
Nov 5, 2004
