A spinal implant system for restricting flexion of a spine includes an elongate band proportioned to engage at least two spinous processes. During use, the band is positioned engaging the spinous processes at a spinal segment of interest, where it restricts flexion at the segment. The length and tension of the band may be adjustable following to implantation using percutaneous or transcutaneous means.

Spinal implants for limiting flexion of the spine are implanted between a superior spinous process and an inferior spinous process or sacrum. The implants include upper straps which are placed over the upper spinous process, while the lower portions of the implant are attached to the adjacent vertebra or sacrum. The attachments may be fixed, for example using screws or other anchors, or may be non-fixed, for example by placing a loop strap through a hole in the spinous process or sacrum.

The present invention is a bone growth stimulating and promoting cytokine type biological implant preferably comprising PTH coated with a controlled release biodegradable coating that is implanted preferably in the concave side of a scoliotically curved spine in combination with a bone growth inhibiting type biological implant preferably comprising methotrexate or like anti-metabolite coated with a controlled release biodegradable coating that is implanted preferably in the convex side of a scoliotically curved spine. The insertion of the biological implant is highly non-invasion, especially as compared to more conventional spine surgical methods, and the biological implant does not decrease spinal mobility or spinal range of motion.

The invention provides a fall arrester. The fall arrester comprises a casing, wherein the casing comprises an outer retaining ring; one end face of the outer retaining ring is provided with a ring-shaped spine composed of a plurality of curved spine units; each spine unit comprises an engaging portion at one end and an engaged portion at the other end; the inner side of each spine unit is providedan arc-shaped abdomen; the outside of each abdomen is provided with a convex engaging piece; a rotating disc is arranged in the casing and a buckle portion is arranged in the inner sidewall of the rotating disc; a plurality of ratchet units are arranged on the rotating disc; one end of each ratchet unit is a locking end while the other end of each ratchet unit is a fixing end; one end of the rotating disc is provided with a fixing piece; the fixing end can be movably installed on the fixing piece; the locking end rotates to abut against the engaging piece; a pivot portion is arranged in the rotating disc; the pivot portion comprises a fixing sleeve and a rotatable fixed rotating shaft which fits with the fixing sleeve coaxially; and two ends of an elastic component are separately connected with the fixing sleeve and the buckle portion. According to the fall arrester, the requirements for installation accuracy are reduced, so that time and energy are saved in the installation process.

The invention provides a spinal correction device. The spinal correction device includes: a back strap main part, a detection module and a processing module; the detection module is fixed on the back strap main part through a flexible pull rod, and is used to detect changes in curvature of the spine; the processing module is used to detect changes in the detection module It will analyze the detected changes in the curvature of the spine and give a reminder when the curvature of the spine exceeds the preset threshold. The spine correcting device of the present invention realizes timely detection by setting the detection module on the main part of the strap, and performs real-time reminder through the processing module when it is detected that the curvature state of the spine exceeds a preset threshold. In this way, the curvature state of the spine can be detected in time and reminded in real time. The spine correction device of the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to implement, which improves the practicability of the spine correction device.

The present subject disclosure provides a novel design for devices and methods for straightening a curved spine by using a reduction tool to move the spine with respect to an attached bone plate.
