Assignee:

Spinal Innovations, L.L.C. - Carson City NV

International Classification:

A61B 1756

US Classification:

606 61, 606 72

Abstract:

A final fixation assembly includes a rod receiving ring for receiving a portion of a rod therein and including a compressible insert for receiving a portion of the rod therein in a noncompressed condition and conforming allowing the portion of the rod to fixedly lock the portion of the rod therein in a compressed condition. The rod receiving ring maintains the insert in the compressed condition when the insert is seated therein.

Appl. No.:

6/719785

Inventors:

Samuel J. Chiarizzio - Memphis TN
Kenneth W. Russell - Memphis TN

Assignee:

Dow Corning Wright - Arlington TN

International Classification:

A61F 1732
A61F 504
A61F 236

US Classification:

128305

Abstract:

This invention relates to a femoral trial prosthesis/rasp assembly for use in hip implant surgery. The novel handle assembly grips the combination trial prosthesis/rasp in a secure manner by clamping over and locking onto a post on the trial prosthesis/rasp which later serves as a mounting piece for a femoral prosthesis head used in trial reductions. The handle assembly preferably comprises a straight member which has a recess for reception of one half of the post and a pivotable lever which contains an opposing recess which fits over the remainder of the post when a screw is tightened to bring the two recesses together over the post. The trial prosthesis/rasp is cooperatively engaged by a projection located at the end of the handle assembly to hold the trial prosthesis/rasp in a preselected orientation with respect to the handle assembly during use. The trial prosthesis/rasp is easily released from the handle by turning the screw to permit the lower portion of the straight member and lever to separate.

Assignee:

Dow Corning Wright Corporation - Arlington TN

International Classification:

A61F 232

US Classification:

606 99

Abstract:

According to the invention there is provided surgical instrumentation for implanting an orthopedic prosthesis comprising a handle having opposed longitudinal ends and a head assembly situated at one end of the handle. The head assembly includes an external impact surface for transmitting force to an orthopedic instrument or prosthesis. A spring and sliding shaft arrangement are disposed within the head assembly for dampening the force from the impact surface. The head assembly is adjustable for varying the force absorbed by the spring and sliding shaft arrangement.

Phillip J. Brown - Winston-Salem NC, US
Kenneth W. Russell - Winston-Salem NC, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/315

Abstract:

An incremental syringe useful for multiple injections of medications like botulinum toxin is provided. The syringe includes detents on the syringe plunger which provide a tactile feeling, a discrete audible sound or “click,” or preferably both, for every unit of medication aspirated or injected to or from an individual syringe. Hence, there is no need to look at the syringe, or bring it to the eye level, during use thereof. In some embodiments, a second set of detents is included, and in some embodiments a third set of detents is included. Syringe plungers useful for combining with a syringe body to produce such an incremental syringe are also described.
