摘要: Described are shoes, orthodic appliances, and anatomic braces containing superelastic support members for enhanced performance. The superelastic supports provide dynamic response to deflection. As such, the superelastic supports incorporated in the soles of shoes enhance walking, running, jumping, kicking, or other motion involving the foot. The superelastic supports may be incorporated in the body of shoes to reinforce the ankle joint. The embodiments of the invention also provide superelastic supports in braces to reinforce or stabilize the knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, shoulders, back, neck, hips, or other anatomy commonly associated with a degree of twisting, rotation, bending, or other desired motion. The braces also intensify the motion of anatomic structures, apply a specific resistance at the joint to strengthen the muscles during training or rehabilitation, and/or immobilize or stabilize joints, bones, or other anatomic structures during healing of an injury.

摘要: A bypass graft incorporates fixation mechanisms at its opposite ends, for securing these ends to different locations along a blood vessel, or alternatively to different locations wherein one of the locations is a different vessel or an organ defining a cavity. Mechanical fixation features such as collets or grommets can be employed, enhanced by delivery of an electrical current sufficient to heat surrounding tissue to form a thermal bond. A graft deployment system includes a tissue dilator and a needle for perforating tissue, mounted coaxially within the dilator. Intralumenal systems further include a catheter for containing the dilator.

摘要: A system and components for treating aortic aneurysms includes a reinforcing graft and fittings for securing the graft to a host vessel and to branch vessels, for example the iliac and renal arteries. Combinations of fittings and rings or other compression mechanisms secure vessels or grafts frictionally, for end-end or end-side couplings. A variety of tools are disclosed for manipulating retaining rings, everting portions of grafts or vessels in the course of coupling them to fittings, and clamping fittings while positioning the retaining rings.

摘要: This is a support device that prevents, reduces, and delays remodeling of diseased cardiac tissue, and also decreases the impact of such remodeling on collateral tissue is disclosed. The invention further reinforces abnormal tissue regions to prevent over-expansion of the tissue due to increased afterload and excessive wall tension. As a result, the support device prevents phenomenon such as systolic stretch from occurring and propagating. The support structure maintains and restores diastolic compliance, wall motion, and ejection fraction to preserve heart functionality. As such, the support device prevents and treats cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.

摘要: A sutureless anastomosis systems for securing a bypass graft to a host vessel or other tubular structure including a bypass graft and fitting. A compression mechanism may be used with the system for attachment of the bypass graft to the fitting. An electrode is connected to the fitting and an energy source. The energy source transmits energy to the electrode and causes the adjacent tissue to rise in temperature and bond to a vessel or fitting.

摘要: A resilient graft construction incorporates a structural layer formed of a resilient body compatible metal or polymer, and a fluid impervious layer of graft material secured to the structural layer. The structural layer includes an elongate longitudinal primary section, and secondary sections extended transversely from opposite sides of the primary section. The secondary sections can be arranged in opposed pairs, or staggered. The secondary sections further can be tapered in width, thickness or both. The grafts can be constructed by stamping or otherwise severing structural layer patterns from a flat sheet of structural material, then thermally setting the structural layers when they are wrapped about a mandril to determine a relaxed-state curvature. Opposed longitudinal edges either can overlap one another or be spaced apart from one another in the relaxed state. According to one alternative, the structural layer alone functions as a stent. Other alternatives include circumferentially closed graft structures, one of which consists of a resilient graft material.
