CONSTANT DISTRACTION FORCE DRIVEN SELF ACTUATING GROWING ROD SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050130 titled 'CONSTANT DISTRACTION FORCE DRIVEN SELF ACTUATING GROWING ROD SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a self-actuating growing rod system for implantation on a deformed bony anatomy. The system includes static rod components, intermediate rod components, growth rod components, compression spring components, magnetic field-based spring actuation mechanisms, and dynamic sealing plugs.

  • The system applies an active distraction force onto the deformed bony anatomy during its natural growth.
  • The growth rod component telescopes out of the intermediate rod component, creating a distraction force deficit in the system.
  • The compression spring component gets compressed by the magnetic field-based spring actuation mechanism to correct the distraction force deficit.
  • This maintains an active distraction force onto the system.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Treatment of spinal deformities in pediatric patients.
  • Correction of limb length discrepancies.
  • Management of scoliosis or kyphosis.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a self-actuating mechanism for maintaining an active distraction force during the natural growth of a deformed bony anatomy.
  • Reduces the need for frequent manual adjustments.
  • Allows for gradual correction of deformities over time.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Minimizes the risk of complications associated with manual adjustments.
  • Provides a more efficient and convenient treatment option.
  • Allows for better control and customization of distraction forces.
  • Facilitates the natural growth and development of the bony anatomy.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to a constant distraction force driven self-actuating growing rod system () for implantation on a deformed bony anatomy. the system () comprises at least one static rod component (); at least one intermediate rod component (); at least one growth rod component (); at least one compression spring component () adapted to apply an active distraction force onto the system () of the present disclosure; at least one magnetic field-based spring actuation mechanism () and at least one dynamic sealing plug (). during the natural growth of the deformed bony anatomy, the growth rod component () telescopes out of the intermediate rod component (), creating a distraction force deficit in the system (); the distraction force deficit being corrected by causing the compression spring component () to get compressed by means of the magnetic field-based spring actuation mechanism (); thereby maintaining an active distraction force onto the system ().
