Abstract
The present invention is an implant for bone. The current implant is particularly useful in spinal surgical procedures.
Claims12
An implant for bone adapted for interconnection with a device distinct from the implant;
- the implant comprising:
- a) a shaft comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- and
- b) a surgical cutting wedge connected to the first end of the shaft;
- the surgical cutting wedge comprising:
- i) a first planar surface and a second planar surface;
- ii) a first side connected with and perpendicular to the shaft, wherein the first side comprises a first end of greater height than an opposed second end of first side;
- iii) a second side parallel to the first side, wherein a first end is of greater height than an opposed second end of second side;
- iv) a planar third side extending between the first and second planar surfaces and first and second sides, wherein connection angles of first and second sides with opposed ends of the planar third side are identical;
- and
- v) a cutting edge opposed from and parallel to the planar third side;
- the cutting edge connected to the first planar surface, the second planar surface and the second ends of the first and second sides.

An implant for bone adapted for interconnection with a device distinct from the implant;
- the implant comprising:
- a) a surgical cutting wedge comprising:
- i) a first planar surface and a second planar surface;
- ii) an interconnected combination of a first side, a second side and a third side;
- the interconnected combination of the first, second and third sides extending between and connected to the first and second planar surfaces, wherein:
- the first side comprises a first end of greater height than an opposed second end of first side;
- and the second side comprises a first end of greater height than an opposed second end of second side;
- and
- iii) a cutting edge connected to the first and second planar surfaces and the second ends of the first and second sides such that the cutting edge is adapted to cut in perpendicular, clockwise and counterclockwise directions relative to a shaft;
- and
- b) a first end of the shaft connected to the first side at a position between the opposed cutting edge and third side of the surgical cutting wedge.
