Title: Prosthetic implant for intervertebral spinal fusion
Inventor: BRANTIGAN JOHN W
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 1994-09-07
Abstract: Block or plug implants provide weight-bearing support for adjacent vertebrae in a vertebral column while allowing sufficient area between and beside the plugs for packing of autologous bone graft to allow bony healing and fusion. The plugs have a laterally directed slot to allow ingrowth of blood supply from the side and to allow locking the permanent device in place with living bone. The plugs have a patterned surface to grip the vertebrae. Plugs used for fusion in the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels are wedged-shaped to reproduce the normal shape of these discs, which are higher anteriorly than posteriorly. The height of the plugs is greater than the width. The implants are made of a biocompatible carbon fiber reinforced polymer or alternately made of traditional orthopaedic implant materials such as chrome cobalt, stainless steel or titanium. In the surgical procedure, undamaged annulus fibrous disc tissue connecting the adjacent vertebrae is preserved and a pair of side-by-side implant plugs are forced into side-by-side transverse channels in the adjoining vertebrae to stretch the remaining annulus and support body weight applied through the vertebrae. The plugs are bottomed in the channels on cortex bone and bone ingrowth and fusion is facilitated by packing a patient's own graft into the center of the plug and beside and between the two adjacent plugs.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE92/00450 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 24, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 24, 1993 PCT Filed May 29, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/21878 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 10, 1992.A device including a flow unit generating a potential vortex having an inflow aperture and an outflow aperture, together with a turbine arranged in the direction of flow of the potential vortex. The flow unit comprises an outer hollow member having a plurality of flaps and plates at both ends, with one plate containing the outflow aperture, and an inner hollow member arranged concentrically of the outer hollow member. The built-up pressure acting on the outer hollow member opens some of the movable flaps and closes others, which generates a rotary flow. The rotary flow, while flowing tangentially into the inner hollow member, is accelerated further and forms a swirl flow which is directed outwardly by the vacuum at the outflow aperture and which, after having passed through the outflow aperture, is converted into the potential vortex by the shear forces of the parallel flows. A separating element in the outer member divides the rotary flow into a first and a second partial flow and has a through-flow aperture directed towards the inner hollow member. The potential vortex draws a flow volume from the second partial flow or from outside through the through-flow aperture, with the turbine being arranged in the potential vortex. Vortex generating elements convert the second partial flow into a plurality of vortices, with the vortices being included in the potential vortex. The potential vortex coil produced in this way generates an intensifying flow field.
