Abstract:
A device for sinus lift following a tearing of the Schneiderian membrane, comprising a biodegradable, multi-lumen balloon. The balloon comprises a first lumen and a second lumen. The first lumen, when inflated, forms a separation barrier and a posterior layer which are substantially perpendicular to one another and extend along a length of the balloon. The second lumen defined by an inferior layer comprising perforations to enable a bone graft formed in the second lumen to mesh with the bony floor of the maxillary sinus. The balloon comprises an inlet cannula in fluid communication with the first lumen, to enable inflation of the first lumen. The balloon comprises at least one connector attached to or integrally formed with the balloon, and adapted or configured to anchor the balloon medially to a rim of a preformed lateral opening in the maxillary sinus.
Abstract:
A bone implant and in particular a dental implant having an apical end configured to facilitate placement and stabilization within an implantation site, wherein the distal end of said apical end has a contoured surface, and the apical surface of said apical end has at least one apical surface recess extending toward the coronal part of the implant.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a development made with respect to the implants used for dental problems in the dental applications. The implant designed in a way to be used particularly in the sinus lift operations brings solution to the problems such as development of infection caused by the implants used in the available applications or lack of bone formation after the application.
Abstract:
A portable blood pressure monitoring device capable of wirelessly interacting with a secondary device, such as a cell phone, to measure blood pressure of a patient wherein the device is configurable to fold into a low profile storage configuration. The blood pressure monitoring device includes a cuff for wrapping around the limb of a subject the cuff further having a an inflatable bladder formed integrally therein, wherein the cuff is substantially rectangular in shape having a first surface, a second surface, a first end, a second end, and two sides, and a securement mechanism; one or more tubes positioned within the cuff in communication with the inflatable bladder; an exhaust valve; a displayless housing connected to one of a first end and a second end of the cuff wherein the housing includes one or more of a controller, a memory, a pump, a power supply, and a motor; and a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting blood pressure data to a second device.
Abstract:
A dental implant has a hollow shell with outer bio-compatible surface for engaging a soft tissue socket left in gingival tissue after a tooth has been extracted, to promote healing. The shell tapers outwardly from a first to a second perimeter, the second perimeter being asymmetrically scalloped with opposite distal and mesial peaks and opposite lingual and facial valleys between the peaks. A dental implant in the bone socket left after tooth extraction is rigidly connected to a temporary post, the temporary post extending in the shell. The shell engages against the soft tissue socket without gaps and without requiring alignment between the shell and implant axes.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a safety subantral membrane lifter comprising a bone-fixing unit including a bone-fixing arm mounted on the top of the bone-fixing unit, a bone-fixing unit body arranged at the lower end of the bone-fixing unit, and a bone-fixing unit support arranged at the lower end of the bone-fixing unit body. The bone-fixing unit comprises: said bone-fixing unit body, which is cylindrical and which has an open end and a space formed therein; said bone-fixing arm arranged at one end of the bone-fixing unit body and which is inclined toward one end thereof; two side blades protruding outwardly from both sides of the bone-fixing unit body and formed in the vertical direction so as to be sharp; and said bone-fixing support arranged at the lower end of the bone-fixing unit. The safety subantral membrane lifter of the present invention may directly adjust the subantral membrane to safely lift the subantral membrane in a desired direction by a desired distance.
Abstract:
A dental implant is provided for facilitating viewing an outside of a distal end thereof via a proximal opening thereof, and/or for providing bone graft material via selectively closable one or more distal openings. A dental implant installation procedure is also provided in which a distal end of a dental implant is projected into a paranasal sinus cavity or a nasal cavity to thereby displace the respective sinus membrane or nasal cavity membrane from the respective cavity floor, while minimizing risk of damaging the respective membrane. Bone graft material is introduced into the space thereby created between the respective membrane and the respective cavity floor via a distal portion of the dental implant to thereby form a desired sinus augmentation.
