摘要:
A surgical implant device may include a first substantially planar portion having a first surface area, a second substantially planar portion having a second surface area, and a coupling device for connecting the first substantially planar portion to the second substantially planar portion. The coupling device facilitates expanding and contracting the first and the second substantially planar portion in order to provide an implant surface area corresponding to the first surface area during insertion of the surgical implant within an incision, and having a third surface area corresponding to both the first surface area and at least a portion of the second surface area following insertion of the surgical implant within the incision.

摘要:
A composite surgical implant that is made of a planar sheet of a thermoplastic resin that includes a top surface (400), a bottom surface (410), and a surgical grade metal mesh (405) contained therein. The implant may be bent by hand, wherein upon the displacement of the implant, the implant will generally maintain the shape to which it has been displaced.

The implant according to the invention is intended to be used as a replacement for an orbita bottom and optionally also for the medial orbita wall. The implant comprises the form of a single-piece preformed plate or grid which comprises a first segment, a second segment and a third segment. The first segment is designed in accordance with the form of the orbita bottom and the second segment is designed according to the form of the medial side-wall. The first and second segments adjoin each other along a first preset breaking line. The third segment adjoins the first segment and is arranged for fixing the implant to the lateral orbita edge.

A facial implant includes fused polypropylene pellets. The pellets can be molded to a contoured shape. The shape can be used to augment, replace, or repair cranio-maxillofacial areas, such as the malar, mandibular angle, paranasal, nasal, temporal, cranial vault, orbital, ocular globe, and chin areas of a mammal, such as a human.
摘要:
A biocompatible and pliable surgical implant for use in repair and rigid fixation of bone fractures and to compensate for a volume loss is disclosed. The implant includes a biocompatible base member and a volume member having a predetermined volume affixed to the metallic base member. The base is adapted to be secured proximate the fractured bone area.
摘要:
The rapid design and manufacture of biomedical devices such as implants, oral dosage pills and implantable pharmaceuticals employs electronic data and modeling transmissions via a computer network. Patient information and patient-specific radiological data is captured and transmitted via a computer network to a design and/or manufacturing site. A multi-dimensional digital model is created based on the radiological data and patient information. Communications interchanges between a clinical/diagnostic site and a design/manufacturing site permit modification of the digital model until approved. The approved digital model is converted into machine instructions to construct the biomedical device. Alternatively, the digital model is employed in a best fit selection of a biomedical device from a pre-existing set of biomedical devices or machine-instructions. Transmittal of data over computer networks is further directed to the use of a Website to perform various client-interaction and follow-up tasks.
摘要:
An implant includes a single moulded implant body and a plurality of wire anchoring arms moulded into and extending substantially laterally from the moulded ceramic implant body for filling a bore hole in a skull. The implant will not only provide filling of the bone defect, but also provide fixation of the bone flap. Methods for forming such implants and methods for using the implants for filing a bore hole in a skull are described.
摘要:
A prosthetic implant includes an anterior surface, configured for at least partial contact with an underside of a patient's facial soft tissue. A posterior surface is oppositely placed to the anterior surface. The posterior surface is configured for at least partial contact with a patient's facial bony tissue when the anterior surface is in at least partial contact with the patient's facial soft tissue. An implant body is defined by the anterior and posterior surfaces and extends transversely therebetween. A selected portion of the posterior surface has a texture that mechanically differs from a texture of a majority of the anterior surface.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing a planar implant (I) for a human or animal body, which planar implant (I) is preformed corresponding to a desired anatomical shape. The method comprises the following steps: making available a blank of the planar implant; making available a preforming device (V) that comprises a plurality of discrete adjustable support elements (STE) for adjusting an associated plurality of support points in accordance with the desired anatomical shape; defining the desired anatomical shape and determining corresponding settings for the support elements; adjusting the support elements in accordance with the settings determined for the desired anatomical shape; and producing the preformed implant by bending the blank onto the adjusted support elements.
