Retractor And Method For Spinal Pedicle Screw Placement

View page
US Patent:
6929606, Aug 16, 2005
Filed:
May 13, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/437560
Inventors:
Stephen Ritland - Flagstaff AZ, US
Assignee:
Depuy Spine, Inc. - Raynham MA
International Classification:
A61B001/32
A61F002/46
US Classification:
600201, 600210, 606 96, 606 99
Abstract:
To avoid traditional muscle dissection required in the placement of a screw for a pedicle screw fixation, a retractor is provided having a guide of an appropriate length to provide access from the skin surface to the dorsal aspect of the vertebra over the pedicle. The retractor has a handle to provide appropriate holding leverage and to maintain the guide so as to stabilize the guide against the lateral aspects of the facet with the paraspinous musculature. The retractor has a channel of an appropriate size to accommodate a variety of tools, including a drill bit or a tap. The channel also provides a pathway for a probe or feeler to inspect the placement of the screw. A tool groove may be provided in the channel to support the shaft of a tool, such as a tap.

Method And Device For Microsurgical Intermuscular Spinal Surgery

View page
US Patent:
7166073, Jan 23, 2007
Filed:
Mar 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/091970
Inventors:
Stephen Ritland - Flagstaff AZ, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/02
US Classification:
600210
Abstract:
A retractor is provided for performing spinal surgery with a minimal approach, and which spares the lumbar muscles from surgical disruption. A preferred embodiment includes a blade having first and second faces wherein the faces are positioned substantially transverse to one another, and wherein at least one of the faces has a tapered width. Alternatively, both the first and second faces are tapered. Additionally, a third face positioned transverse to the first face and substantially parallel to the third face may be incorporated into the retractor. The second face also preferably includes at least one tooth, and more preferably, a plurality of teeth at its distal end for laterally engaging an articular process of a vertebra of the spine.

US Patent:
7207992, Apr 24, 2007
Filed:
Sep 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/262574
Inventors:
Stephen Ritland - Flagstaff AZ, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 61
