摘要:
Implantable artificial intestine section to be connected to a surgically created opening in the patient's intestine comprises an accumulator for accumulating energy. The accumulator is adapted to be charged wirelessly with energy and is arranged to supply energy directly or indirectly to at least one energy consuming part of the artificial intestine section, such as a flow control device, a pump, a motor, a control unit and a sensor.
摘要:
An implantable artificial intestine section is provided for being connected to a surgically created lateral opening in a wall of a patient's intestine. The other end portion thereof may be connected to a surgically created stomy, the patient's rectum or anus, the patient's small intestine or the patient's large intestine. Alternatively, the artificial intestine section may be connected with both open ends to surgically created lateral openings in the wall of the patient's intestine, so as to form a by-pass. Further implantable elements, such as a flow control device, a pump, a motor, a control unit and the like may be combined with the artificial intestine section.

A lubrication device for lubricating a joint of a human or mammal patient, which is entirely implantable in a patient's body, comprises a reservoir for storing a lubricating fluid and a fluid connection for introducing the lubricating fluid into the joint when the device is implanted in the patient's body. Further, the fluid connection comprises a fluid connection device connecting the reservoir with the joint such that a lubricating fluid flow is established from the reservoir into the joint. The fluid connection comprises either an infusion needle adapted to be intermittently placed into the joint for injecting the lubricating fluid, or a tube adapted to be permanently placed into the joint for continuously injecting the lubricating fluid.

An adjustable prosthesis comprises a first component, a second component telescopically coupled to the first component, and a third component telescopically coupled to the second component. A first drive assembly is coupled to the first and second components and configured to move the second component relative to the first component along a first axis. A second drive assembly is coupled to the second and third components and configured to move the third component relative to the second component along a second axis, the second axis being different than the first axis. A power source is secured to at least one of the first component, the second component, and the third component, and is electrically coupled to both the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly.

A surgical implant, which in use, provides a barrier between layers of tissue such that tissue on one side of the implant does not adhere to tissue on the other side, the implant being made of suitably anatomically shaped surgically acceptable sheet material.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an orthopaedic implant, such as a bone plate, for the fixation of bone where the implant also has at least one microchip and at least one sensor connected to the microchip. The sensor or sensors are configured to receive physical stimulus from a portion of the implant or the patient's tissue such as temperature, pressure, and strain. The information received from the sensor or sensors is gathered by the microchip and transmitted to a receiver, such as a personal computer, outside the patient. This information enables doctors to diagnose the useful life of the implant, the load sharing of the bone plate, and possible complications typically associated with orthopaedic implants such as infection, fracture non-union, and fatigue. The implant may also have one or more electrodes located on its surface which emit an electric current to stimulate healing of the broken or fractured bone.
