    摘要: A deep tendon reflex-eliciting device actuated by pressure against a patient's skin, which releases a spring-loaded mass that delivers an impulse through a fully-enclosed housing. This device includes a weight contained within the casings, and a mainspring in communication with the weight. The mainspring has a bias toward expansion. In the compressed position, the mainspring is also compressed, and the weight is pushed backwards into the rear casing. The weight is released to be driven forward by the mainspring. The weight strikes the inside of the forward casing, delivering an impulse to a surface against Which the device is pressed. A reset spring can push apart the forward and rear casings to reset the device to its expanded position. A case screw is also included which is able to consistently set the impact force of the device.

    摘要: A system and method for quantitatively assessing a press fit value (and provide a mechanism to evaluate optimal quantitative values) of any implant/bone interface regardless the variables involved including bone site preparation, material properties of bone and implant, implant geometry and coefficient of friction of the implant-bone interface without requiring a visual positional assessment of a depth of insertion. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements.

    摘要: An illumination probe may include a handle, an optic fiber, a tube, and an illumination source connector. The tube may include a tube distal end and a tube proximal end. The tube may include a tube aperture of the tube distal end. The tube proximal end may be disposed in the handle wherein the tube distal end extends out from a distal end of the handle. The optic fiber may include an optic fiber distal end and an optic fiber proximal end. The optic fiber may be disposed in the illumination source connector, the handle, and the tube wherein the optic fiber distal end is disposed in the tube. The tube aperture may be configured to modify a property of incident illumination light.
