Spinal Resources earned a Notice of Allowability from the United States Patent and Trademark Office to expand the use of its Bezier parametric curve spinal sod system.
The patented system, No. 12,251,133, includes a spinal rod system with different regions separated by a gradual transition region that’s customizable, according to a Jan. 22 news release.
The allowed claims cover the spinal fixation rod that integrates several constant-diameter segments with smooth, tapered transitions across the rod’s entire perimeter. This design helps surgeons avoid stress points associated with traditional sharp-stepped designs.
