Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for treating the spine are disclosed herein. Medical devices can be positioned along a subject's spine to treat various conditions and diseases. The medical device can include an actuator assembly and a clamp assembly. The actuator assembly can be positioned at an interspinous space between a superior spinous process and an inferior spinous process. The actuator assembly can be used to reconfigure the clamp assembly such that the clamp assembly clamps onto the superior and inferior spinous processes.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for delivering a spacer into a subject, the method comprising:\n positioning at least a portion of a spacer comprising an actuator assembly and a clamp assembly between a superior spinous process and an inferior spinous process of the subject such that the superior spinous process and the inferior spinous process are received by the clamp assembly; actuating the actuator assembly to allow a first wing of the clamp assembly to rotate about a first axis of rotation positioned on a first side of a sagittal plane of the subject and a second wing of the clamp assembly to rotate about a second axis of rotation positioned on a second side of the sagittal plane opposite the first side; and clamping the clamp assembly from an open configuration to a clamping configuration such that the first wing and the second wing move towards a body of the actuator assembly.
