Kenosha, Wisconsin/Beere Medical has been awarded the patent number 6,783,004 for its unique kit of medical tools for removing screws. This kit is also known as the Evolution ™ Spinal Implant Removal Kit.

Beere, the innovation leader of the orthopedic instrument industry, has worked with the spinal implant manufacturers around the globe to bring the most comprehensive kit to remove spinal implants ever designed. Because of this close relationship with the spinal OEM companies, each custom driver is manufactured to the same exacting specifications as the OEM instrument that was used to install the implant. Every driver also incorporates the Beere patented (6,055,889) QuickLock® interconnection.

Beere Medical has also been awarded the patent number 6,799,480 for its axial torque measuring instrument.

Beere, the innovation leader of the orthopedic instrument industry, is familiar with the limitations of “off-axis” torque measuring instruments. By creating a deflection beam that is completely enclosed inside the handle, a smaller and more ergonomic instrument can be designed.

Beere Medical, a Teleflex Medical company, is an industry leader in new and innovative handheld surgical instruments. The patent has been assigned to Pilling Weck, a Teleflex Medical company. Among some of the items that BPMI manufactures are the patented Ortho-Grip® silicone rubber handles, ratcheting screwdrivers, spinal instruments, and torque limiting and measuring instruments. BPMI also has a very large web presence at www.beeremedical.com.
