Spinal Resources (SRI) received a Notice of Allowability from USPTO expanding the usage of its Bezier Parametric Curve Spinal Rod System. The patented system, US Patent No. 12,251,133, comprises a spinal rod system with different regions separated by a gradual transition region wherein the curve and a length of the first and second segments and the transition region are customizable to a specific patient anatomy.
The allowed claims specifically cover SRI’s spinal fixation rod, which integrates multiple constant-diameter segments with smooth, tapered transitions across the rod’s entire perimeter. The design covered by these claims provides targeted strength and flexibility, critically avoiding stress points associated with traditional sharp-stepped designs.
The patent’s focus on a constant-slope transition ensures a gradual and predictable stiffness profile, a differentiator for biomechanical performance and long-term implant success.
Bernie Bedor, President and Chief Executive Officer, Spinal Resources, Inc. notes, “This strategic intellectual property positioning is critical for facilitating superior patient outcomes, differentiating SRI’s technology in the market and enabling the development of scalable product families. We believe this represents a significant advancement in spinal care and an invaluable asset for future market leadership and growth opportunities. Furthermore, it secures the intellectual property around the algorithm-informed morphologies crucial for advanced planning and customization, thereby creating a substantial competitive barrier and ensuring a defensible market position.”
