Abstract:
The present invention provides for methods and devices for monitoring capillary related interstitial thickness. The invention also includes methods of measuring capillary related interstitial fluid, as well as cardiac, vascular, renal and hepatic function. Specific devices, particularly probes, are provided for such methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of diagnostic imaging and more specifically to the field of monitoring drug delivery using non-invasive imaging techniques. The present invention provides for imaging agents and compositions useful for NMR, computed tomography, scintigraphy, PET and any other type of imaging where the imaging agent can be carried by liposomes or other lipid based vehicles, such as micelles or suspended lipid aggregates.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for methods and devices for monitoring cardiovascular performance. The invention also includes methods of measuring capillary related interstitial fluid, as well as cardiac and vascular function. Specific devices, particularly probes, are provided for such methods.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed relating improved articular models, implant components, and related guide tools and procedures. In addition, methods and devices are disclosed relating articular models, implant components, and/or related guide tools and procedures that include one or more features derived from patient-data, for example, images of the patient's joint. The data can be used to create a model for analyzing a patient's joint and to devise and evaluate a course of corrective action. The data also can be used to create patient-adapted implant components and related tools and procedures.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are devices, systems and methods for the automated design and manufacture of patient-specific/patient-matched orthopedic implants. While the embodiments described herein specifically pertain to unicompartmental resurfacing implants for the knee, the principles described are applicable to other types of knee implants (including, without limitation, other resurfacing implants and joint replacement implants) as well as implants for other joints and other patient-specific orthopedic applications.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and tools for repairing articular surfaces repair materials and for repairing an articular surface. The articular surface repairs are customizable or highly selectable by patient and geared toward providing optimal fit and function. The surgical tools are designed to be customizable or highly selectable by patient to increase the speed, accuracy and simplicity of performing total or partial arthroplasty.
