摘要： An apparatus for heating and setting a stent having curved limb elements. The apparatus is a mandrel having a restraining mechanism such as pins placed on the outer surface of the mandrel or shallow grooves machined in the outer surface of the mandrel to hold and mold the stent. The mandrel helps alleviate stresses induced upon stent elements during the heating and setting process and produces a more exact stent according to the desired stent design.

摘要： An improved hood provides for the attaching of endoluminal prosthesis within corporeal lumens. The hook is integrally formed with framing structure and is preset into an outward bend, but is resiliently flexible so as to form a substantially straight profile when compressed. The hook is capable of impinging upon the corporeal lumen and thereby securing the prosthesis. The hook may be configured for intraluminal delivery and deployment. A novel method of manufacturing said hook is also provided.

摘要： An apparatus for heating and setting elements of a stent. The apparatus is a mandrel having a central core cylinder with an outer surface including a plurality of raised forms and gaps in-between the raised forms. The mandrel also includes a first and second outer cylinder, each having a curved radial end with a cut-out design similar to the shape of the plurality of raised forms. Once a stent is placed on the central core cylinder, the first and second outer cylinders are positioned on the central core cylinder such that the curved radial ends of the first and second outer cylinders align with the plurality of raised forms, shaping the stent.

摘要： Method and apparatus for determining the direction of the mechanical axis of the femur of a patient in relation to the corresponding knee of the patient in connection with resecting the distal femur for the reception of a femoral knee prothesis include at least partially suspending the patient's leg to locate the knee at a suspended position wherein external forces on the knee, such as the weight of the leg, are balanced and the knee remains essentially stationary at the suspended position, applying a force to the femur at a predetermined location relative to the mechanical axis of the femur, directing the applied force in a direction such that the knee remains undeflected from the suspended position while the force is applied to the femur in that direction, and employing that direction of the applied force to indicate the direction of the mechanical axis of the femur.
