    摘要: Improved systems and methods for producing dental restorations and ceramic materials for such restorations are disclosed. Optical properties, preferably including color and translucence characteristics, of a tooth or teeth of a patient are measured with a shade measuring instrument. The tooth to be restored is prepared, and a physical or virtual dental impression is created. A prescription for the restoration, which typically includes color, translucence and thickness information, is sent to the restoration fabrication facility either electronically or physically. A recipe and/or a mixture of ceramics are generated for the restoration, with multiple layers being specified, based on the measured optical properties. The recipe algorithm may adapt, or process checks may be performed, based on measurements of fabricated layers. Preferably, dental ceramics are specified to bracket the region of color space relevant to human teeth, and a reduced set of ceramic materials are manufactured and distributed. Based on measured optical characteristics of the ceramic materials, recipes and/or material mixtures are specified or prepared for the restoration. A virtual impression data file may be transmitted to the laboratory instead of a physical impression.

    摘要: A securement device includes a retainer having at least one retention member extending into a channel of the retainer. The retention member is coupled to the retainer and includes a distal end. The distal end is movable relative to the retainer. The retention member can extend from the body and/or supports of the retainer on opposite sides of the channel axis. In some embodiments, a first set of retention members extends from a first support and a second set of retention members extends from the other support. The first set and the second set of retention members can be staggered laterally along the channel axis such that the lateral sides of the retainer are asymmetric which allow the same retainer to secure medical article having different shapes and sizes. The retainer may further include one or more abutment features or pills configured to contact the medical article.

    摘要: Several embodiments of a penetration apparatus and methods for using the same during a surgical procedure are disclosed. The penetration apparatus comprises a thin elongated body having a first end, a second end, and a central longitudinal axis extending there between. The first end opposes the second and is aligned within a vessel matrix during the surgical procedure. The second end of the body is substantially free and may be rotated around the axis. The penetration apparatus may also be housed within a catheter that has a cavity that precisely accommodates the penetration apparatus. Activation and advancement of the penetration apparatus within the catheter forms an incision through a vessel matrix enabling the placement of a fastener or a plurality of fasteners therein.
