    摘要: The present invention is directed to apparatus and methods for forming open-cell porous mold forms to mold porous devices having substantially continuously interconnected pores. The mold form is made from selected material comprising particles having predetermined sizes and shapes which is capable of forming a stable mold form under selected conditions. The particles are treated such that the particles are manipulable into a mass of continuously interconnected particles defining continuously interconnected pores and connecting interstices within the mass. The formed mass is made into a predetermined shape and solidified to form a mold form.

    摘要: A finger joint prosthesis for metacarpalphalangeal and interphalangeal joints is provided including two diaphyseal parts which are implantable in the phalangeal and/or metacarpal bones and are fixed to a pivotable joint. The joint includes a female cap, a male cap, a shaft force fitted into two openings in the female cap and extending through an opening in the male cap, and a collar surrounding the shaft in the male cap. The joint also includes two side flanges which hold disks for holding the collar in place. The female and male caps and the side flanges are made of titanium alloy while the collar, the shaft, and the disks are made of pyrocarbon so that friction during rotation of the joint occurs only between components that are made of pyrocarbon.

    摘要: The prosthesis comprises a unitary annular valve body having a pair of leaflets (2, 3) mounted on pivot posts adjacent their outer edges, so as to pivot between a closed position (in which the free edges of the leaflets (2, 3) are contiguous so as to inhibit flow of blood through the valve body) and a fully open position (in which the free edges are parallel to one another so as to permit flow of blood through the valve body). The valve body and the leaflets (2, 3) are each precision moulded, homogenous monolithic vitreous carbon artifacts having an as moulded surface of optical quality.

    摘要: This invention is described and illustrated in connection with the generation of a homograft composed of collagenous tissue generated on a prosthetic device. A tubular substrate having generally cylindrical outside and inside surfaces is suspended in the lumen of a blood vessel of a living body. The tubular substrate is open at each end to permit blood to flow over both the inside and outside surfaces. One of the surfaces of the substrate is a thrombogenic surface or supports a thrombogenic mesh material to promote growth of a tube of collagenous tissue suitable for use as a surgical graft. The substrate is suspended in the blood flow of a blood vessel by an anchor which permits the substrate to freely move within the lumen of the vessel but is anchored by the tether to prevent the substrate from moving along the vessel in the direction of blood flow. The collagenous tissue growth about the substrate is generally tubular and suitable for use as a surgical graft.The method of generating a homograft includes preparing a prosthesis composed of a tubular substrate. The substrate is open at each end to permit blood to flow along the length of the substrate inside wall. The substrate is selected to have at least one thrombogenic surface or a thrombogenic mesh material supported by the substrate. The prosthesis is inserted in the lumen of a blood vessel, either a vein or artery, of a living body and anchored in the lumen of the vessel to prevent the substrate from moving along the vessel with the blood flow. The body generates collagenous growth on the thrombogenic surface of the substrate while the substrate is freely suspended in the blood flow of the vessel. The substrate is then removed from the vessel after which a tubular homograft of collagenous tissue is removed from the substrate.

    摘要: Sheets of incompletely fixed biological tissue comprising portions for defining valve flaps of a cardiac valve prosthesis are mounted on forming means which can separate in a substantially fluid-tight manner the opposite faces of such portions. These opposite faces are subjected to a fluid pressure difference which produces deformation of the portions towards a conformation substantially identical with the conformation of the valve flaps when mounted in the prosthesis. The biological tissue is finally fixed while the portions defining the valve flaps of the prosthesis are maintained in the said conformation. The sheets of biological tissue are then separated from the forming means to be subsequently mounted in the frame of the prosthesis.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for producing elastically deformable articles constituted of a textile substrate of carbon fibers which are elastically deformable with respect to an at rest shape, wherein a flexible structure of carbon fibers is used, a predetermined form being set for this textile by means of shaping tools, and said textile being retained in said at rest shape by forming around the said fibers a thin coating of rough laminar pyrolytic carbon deposited by chemical vapor infiltration at high temperature without bonding of the fibers one to another. The textile can be given a flat form by using holding plates. It is possible to start from a braided sleeve which is either compressed or stretched axially around a mandrel. It is also possible to use a woven tape which is wound in a conical pseudo-spiral for use as a cardiac valve.

    摘要: A device for providing treatment is disclosed. The device provides proper skin electrical conductivity while still being minimally invasive by adhering to the patient's skin that also implements safety measures that off-the-shelf electrode options do not have. This device includes a graphite powder-based skin counter electrode that has a graphite powder suspended in an electrolyte gel that allows for electrochemical conduction between the graphite particles in the graphite powder. The gel is spread over a first side of a hydrogel layer. A device housing is mounted on the hydrogel layer over the first side. The device housing contains the electrolyte gel and graphite powder, defines an opening or lead opening as well as an empty expansion chamber for gaseous anodic byproduct. A metallic wire or rod extends from the electrolyte gel and through the housing opening and connects to a potentiostat. The second side of the hydrogel layer is adhered to the skin of the patient. The graphite powder-based skin counter electrode device takes into account safety.
