Abstract:
A device for fixing soft tissue. A sleeve is detachably connected to a self-drilling tapping screw, moving and rotating the self-drilling tapping screw. A guide bar is detachably connected to the self-drilling tapping screw and fit in the sleeve. A fixing pin is fit in a washer and connected to the self-drilling tapping screw. The guide bar is detachably fit in the fixing pin. The fixing pin abuts the washer and the self-drilling tapping screw.
Abstract:
A spinal dynamic stabilization device for maintaining an anatomical height between two adjacent vertebras is provided. Each vertebra includes a spinous process and two symmetric pedicles. The spinal dynamic stabilization device includes a supporting member, at least one anchoring member, and at least one connecting member. The supporting member is disposed between the spinous processes. The anchoring member is fixed in one of the vertebra via one of the pedicles. The connecting member connects the supporting member to the anchoring member, fixing a relative position between the supporting member and the anchoring member, further fixing a relative position between the vertebras.
Abstract:
This invention relates a method for preparing hydroxylapatite powder. The hydroxylapatite powder was obtained by heating fish scales to remove the organic component and collect the inorganic powder. In addition, this invention provides a hydroxylapatite porous body, which was obtained by sintering said hydroxylapatite powder.
Abstract:
The disclosed is a biodegradable copolymer, an amphiphilic diblock copolymer, composed of a hydrophilic segment and a hydrophobic segment. The hydrophilic segment is an endcapped PEG or derivatives thereof. The hydrophilic segment is a random polymer polymerized of lactone or cyclic C3-C6 molecule and lactic acid/glycolic acid. There is no coupling agent between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments, and the biodegradable copolymer is formed by one-pot ring-opening polymerization. The biodegradable copolymer can be dissolved in water to form a thermosensitive material having a phase transfer temperature of 25 to 50° C., thereby being applied to biological activity factor delivery, tissue engineering, cell culture and biological glue.
Abstract:
An interspinous stabilization device includes: (1) a supporting member with a top surface and a bottom surface both being configured to engage spinous processes; (2) two side members connected to the supporting member; (3) a fastener attached to the side members; and optionally (4) two extendable arms each secured on one of the side members.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a ceramic reinforcement material with a weak interface. The reinforcement material of the present invention contains several ceramic layers, wherein those ceramic layers can be a ceramic layer, a metal layer or a polymer layer. The present invention utilizes the bonding weakness of a middle layer or in between a middle layer and the ceramic layer to create a weak interface in the ceramic reinforcement material. The reinforcement with the weak interface can be added into other materials to improve their toughness.
