Abstract: A device for controlling, regulating an/or putting an active implant, especially a distraction device, into operation which can be implanted together with a receiver and to which data and/or power can be provided from the exterior via a transmitter. The device is further characterized in that the receiver can be directly placed on the implant in such a manner that it can be detached, or it can be linked with the implant.

Abstract: A teletibial implant is provided for measuring forces between a femur having first and second condylar surfaces and a tibia when a joint is articulated. The implant includes a medial tibial insert engaging the first condylar surface and a lateral tibial insert engaging the second condylar surface. A transducer includes a medial plate coupled to the medial tibial insert, a lateral plate coupled to the lateral tibial insert, and a bottom plate supporting the medial and lateral plates. The medial and lateral plates receive forces from the medial and lateral inserts, respectively. The bottom plate also has a plurality of spaced apart force sensors for measuring forces exerted on the medial and lateral plates.

Abstract: A passive transponder may be encoded with a number or code of up to 64 binary bits and then mounted to virtually any prosthesis implanted in a human, such as a breast implant. After implantation, the transponder's code may be conveniently read with a hand held electromagnetic reader which may merely be brought within proximity of the transponder. The encoded transponder may thus be read in a non-invasive procedure and without the use of any sophisticated or potentially harmful medical equipment or technology such as X-ray. The information encoded in the transponder may correspond to patient demographics and implant data to aid in tracking the implant's manufacturer and use for medical as well as legal reasons.

Abstract: A system for enabling the acquisition from outside the body of a patient of data pertaining to a medical device implanted therein. A characterization tag is secured to the medical device prior to the implantation thereof. The characterization tag is powered by energy absorbed through the mutual inductive coupling of circuitry in the characterization tag with an alternating magnetic field generated outside the body of the patient. That circuitry in the characterization tag is selectively loaded and unloaded in a predetermined sequence of loading conditions that correspond to data about the implanted medical device. The alternating magnetic field is generated in a characterization probe, moveable external to the body of the patient. The probe includes electrical circuitry for sensing variations in the amount of energy absorbed from the field by the characterization tag. The characterization tag is secured to the exterior of the medical device by a biocompatible potting material in a characterization tag recess or, if the medical device is assembled from a plurality of constituent parts, by permanently capturing the characterization tag between a pair of these parts. Two single fluid reservoir access ports, a double fluid reservoir access port, a septum-less access port, and prosthetic hip joint are disclosed employing the system.
