摘要:
There are provided a surgical jig (24) which is directly used during surgery to make it possible to accurately recognize a position where a recess (44, 46) is to be formed in the surface of a surgical target bone (14) of a patient; and a verification jig (34) which is directly used during surgery to make it possible to precisely verify whether or not the recess (44, 46) formed in the surface of the surgical targeted bone (14) of the patient is of a required shape.The surgical jig (24) has an inner surface (26) matching the surface shape of the surgical target bone (14) of the patient, and a penetrating opening (30, 32) formed in correspondence with a site where the recess (44, 46) is to be formed. The verification jig (34) has a protrusion (40, 42) protruding from an inner surface (36) thereof in correspondence with the recess (44, 46) to be formed.

A surgical guide tool and methodology includes a non patient-specific platform including one or more supports for attaching to a body part of a subject. A non patient-specific block has a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface, and includes a guide aperture extending from the top planar surface to the bottom planar surface for guiding a surgical instrument in making at least one of a cut and a drill hole. An intermediate module is removably positioned between the platform and the block. The intermediate module has patient-specific dimensions such that the guide aperture has a desired alignment relative to the body part when the surgical guide tool is attached to the body part of the patient and the intermediate module is positioned between the platform and the block.

A system that harvests cartilage, trims the thickness of the cartilage and shapes the cartilage for reconstruction of the tympanic membrane. The system includes a punch and a template. Punch can include a handle and a plurality of interchangeable cutters having differently shaped cutting portions and a first cutting portion harvests cartilage. Template includes top template and bottom template between which harvested cartilage can be captured to trim the cartilage to a desired thickness. The punch can then be fitted with a second cutter having a desired shape, which is inserted through a pass through recess one of the templates to contact the cartilage to punch out the desired shape in the cartilage.

In one embodiment, a drill guide for an implantable medical device includes a template comprising a turntable having a drill guide opening; and a drill clip connected to the turntable. In one embodiment, a drill guide for an implantable medical device includes a template comprising a template opening and a turntable having a drill guide opening coaxially aligned with the template opening, a drill interface connected to the turntable, and a support element connected to the drill interface extending from the turntable and offset from the drill guide opening.

摘要:
A method and device for ensuring better placement of an implant, such as an implant that is affixed via bone bed drilling to a recipient's skull. In particular, the technology comprises an apparatus and method of deploying the same that can lead to an improved goodness of fit of the implant. The apparatus and process of the present disclosure are particularly applicable to affixing auditory prostheses such as cochlear implants. The implant is provided with a template that has the same dimensions as the implant that is to be affixed. This template has a dye-impregnated material on its distal surface that is used during bone bed drilling to identify bony spots that have to be drilled away to get a flat surface and a better alignment of the implant with the bone bed. The template may also be provided in kit form.

A tool, consisting of an enclosure and a rotatable knob retained by, and protruding from, the enclosure. The tool has a tube having a proximal end that is retained by the enclosure, and the tube has an axis of symmetry. A Geneva drive is retained within the enclosure, the Geneva drive consisting of a drive wheel fixedly attached to the rotatable knob and a driven wheel fixedly attached to the proximal end of the tube, so that an axis of rotation of the driven wheel coincides with the axis of symmetry of the tube. Thus, a continuous rotation of the rotatable knob causes the tube to rotate about the axis of symmetry in discrete angular steps.
摘要:
A surgical tool lifts an overlying layer of skin away from underlying bone to prepare the bone to accommodate a convex element of an implantable device. The tool includes a lifting shell for insertion between the skin and the bone so as to lift the skin away from bone. A tool base supports the lifting shell and is supported by the bone. A drill template opening in the tool base provides access for preparing the bone to accommodate the convex element.

A process for fabricating size-specific, customized bio-printed musculoskeletal tissue using three dimensional data collected from radiologic imaging is provided. Also, provided is a guide that is created from radiological imaging that demarcates the area of surgical interest. The guide is 3D printed according to guide dimensions collected from radiological imaging, including, but not limited to, CT imaging scans, CT arthrography, ultrasound, MRI, MR arthrography, or any other imaging modality used to image the musculoskeletal system.
