    摘要: A machine for processing tubing includes a chamber, a heater, a conveyor belt that passes through an interior space of the chamber, each of twenty or more links of the conveyor belt further comprising a generally planar outer-facing surface, each adjacent to a generally planar outer-facing surface of at least one other link, forming a generally planar composite surface along a substantially linear sub-path, and wherein a first link and a second link each comprises a first longitudinally-extending barricade adjacent a first side and a second longitudinally-extending barricade adjacent a second side of the at least one generally planar outer-facing surface, the barricades separated by a transverse distance that is less than one-half of the width of the conveyor belt, and wherein when the first and second link are in the substantially linear sub-path, a distance between the distal end of the first link and the proximal end of the second link is less than a total length of the substantially linear sub-path, such that an elongate member resting on and extending along the generally planar composite surface is transversely restricted from migrating more than one-half of the width of the conveyor belt.

    摘要: An orthopedic knee prosthesis includes a femoral component, a tibial bearing, a tibial component, a first magnetic portion associated with the femoral component and including a first pole having a first pole polarity the first magnetic portion not physically interrupting any articulating portion of the curved medial condyle surface or curved lateral condyle surface, and a second magnetic portion associated with one or both of the tibial bearing and/or the tibial component and including a second pole having a second pole polarity, the second pole polarity the same as the first pole polarity, the second magnetic portion not physically interrupting any articulating portion of the concave medial bearing surface or concave lateral bearing surface, wherein the first pole and the second pole are in sufficient proximity to each other such that a magnetic repulsive force is present therebetween.

    摘要: An apparatus for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel includes an occlusion element disposed on a wire, the occlusion element including a cover for covering a neck of an aneurysm and an inner anchoring member. The cover is configured to expand from a compressed configuration in a tube to an expanded configuration when advanced out of a distal end of the tube to cover the neck of the aneurysm. The cover includes a sphere of mesh material formed into a hemisphere including two layers of mesh that is formed by folding a top portion of the sphere into a bottom portion of the sphere. The inner anchoring member is coupled to and extends from the second surface of the cover and is configured to contact an interior surface of the aneurysm. The inner anchoring member may be a cylindrical stem extending from a central portion of the cover.
