    摘要: One embodiment of the invention comprises a differential composite in which bone cement everywhere or substantially everywhere contains at least some non-zero volume fraction of particles, and in which the local volume fraction of particles may vary from place to place in the composite in a controlled manner. The variation may be by identifiable region or may be in the form of a gradient of the local volume fraction of particles. In at least some places, the local volume fraction of particles may be such that the particles act as crack arrestors. Close to the interface with natural bone, the local volume fraction of particles may be greater. In at least some places adjoining natural bone, the local volume fraction of particles may be such as to allow bone ingrowth into appropriate region(s) of the composite, resulting in improved interfacial shear strength. Methods and apparatuses for producing and delivering the composite are also disclosed, which may include use of an introducer and an expandable basket-type device.

    摘要: Systems and methods for remodeling of tissue, such as heart tissue. In some configurations, the systems and methods are directed toward remodeling of the mitral valve of a patient. The systems and methods can include a first tissue anchor, a second tissue anchor, a suture that extends between the tissue anchors, and a suture lock that secures the suture relative to at least one of the tissue anchors or fixes a length of the suture. The systems and methods can also include a suture trimmer that can trim an excess portion of the suture. In some configurations, the suture lock is reversible to allow for iterative adjustments of the remodeling.

    摘要: A consumer package is disclosed that can be opened with one hand. The packaging can have a finger or thumb loop attached to a panel that allows a user to use a finger of the same hand holding the package to open the package. The finger or thumb loop can be designed to have strength and structural integrity to open the package rather than just to hold the package. The package can have a finger or thumb grip portion attached to the panel to open the package. The package can have a finger or thumb hold attached to the panel to open the package.
