    摘要: A removable protective covering is provided that can be secured about an external fixation device on the upper or lower extremity of a patient. The covering includes a fabric form that is sized and configured to accommodate varying sizes of external fixation devices and uses readily engageable/releasable closure elements or fasteners to securely engage the covering about the fixator and the extremity. A drawstring closure may be provided at the open ends of the covering to tighten the end about the patient's limb. Ventilation features may be provided including vents with and without additional devices to generate air flow through the covering. The covering for a lower extremity fixation device may be configured for removably attachment to a foot plate and the foot plate itself may be configured to support or attach to the fixation device.

    摘要: According to the invention, there is provided an implantable prosthetic device inflatable by a self-contained resealable valve in combination with an external locator for determining the position of the valve. The prosthesis includes a flexible outer envelope defining a closed lumen and having a valve attached to an area of the envelope with indicia on the valve responsive to the external locator for determining the position of the valve. A plurality of spaced sensors are each fixedly arrayed on the locator so that when the sensors are in a certain non-juxtaposed relationship with the indicia the sensors orientate with one another, signifying a true location of the valve. A multi-compartmental design having a tethered valve for selective inflation of an inner lumen is also disclosed. The tissue-contacting surface of the outer envelope is micro-textured to minimize tissue capsule contracture.
