Abstract:
The present invention relates to an implant (10) comprising an implant body having a first surface area (A1, A2, A3, A4) configured for contact with soft connective tissue and a second surface area configured for contact with bone tissue, wherein the first surface area is covered with a coating comprising tantalum and the second surface area is formed by a material, which is different than the one forming the coating.
Abstract:
A prosthetic humeral head component (60) comprising: a convex external head surface (62); an internal cavity (64) formed opposite to the head surface (62); and a plurality of fixation elements (70) protruding from said cavity (64) oppositely to said head surface (62) for location into a peripheral portion (17b) of an epiphyseal plate (17) of the humerus (14) to secure the component (60) to the humerus (14), wherein the component is formed as a single, unitary piece. The fixation elements may comprise pegs (70), fins (1080), or keels (2090), or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A spinal implant includes an implant body including a first endplate and a second endplate. A plurality of electrodes include at least one electrode disposed with the first endplate and at least one electrode disposed with the second endplate such that the electrodes conduct an electric current to stimulate tissue growth adjacent the implant body. Systems, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

Abstract:
A prosthesis set for replacing a human shoulder joint comprising a glenoid prosthesis (110) and a humeral prosthesis (120), the glenoid prosthesis comprising:a monolithic biocompatible solid structure having a bone-interfacing side (3A ) oriented in a first direction and a concave glenoid depression side (3B ) oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction,the bone-interfacing side including at least one securing structure and the concave glenoid depression side having a smooth glenoid surface;and the humeral prosthesis comprising:a humeral-head replacement (130) having a convex glenoid-articulating face oriented in a third direction and a humeral head mounting face oriented in a fourth direction opposite the third direction,the convex glenoid-articulating face formed of a tough material that articulates smoothly against the glenoid surface,wherein the glenoid prosthesis and the humeral prosthesis are related as:a glenoid radius of curvature of the concave glenoid depression side is no smaller than a humeral head radius of curvature of the convex glenoid-articulating face.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Implantatkomponente, die mindestens einen Verbindungsabschnitt aufweist, der Verbindungsabschnitt zumindest teilweise mit einer TiNb- Beschichtung beschichtet ist und die Beschichtung eine Dicke von 1-20, bevorzugt 1-6 μm aufweist sowie eine modulare Endoprothese mit solch einer Implantatkomponente.
Abstract:
A surgical instrument comprises a first member engageable with tissue of a substantially posterior portion of an incision relative to a body. A second member is engageable with tissue of a substantially anterior portion of the incision relative to the body. A third member is engageable with tissue of a substantially cephalad portion of the incision relative to the body. The members are disposable in a configuration to space the tissue to define an oblique surgical pathway relative to a bilateral axis of the body. Systems and methods are disclosed.
Abstract:
Systems for interbody fusion of adjacent bone portions may include an expanding implant and related instruments. An expanding implant may be formed as a linkage which is movable between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. A shaft of the implant may increase and decrease in length to move between the compact and expanded configurations, and an implant width perpendicular to the length may be increased in the expanded configuration. The implant width may increase more in a first direction than a second direction opposite the first direction. An inserter instrument may releasably grasp the spacer and transform the implant between the compact and expanded configurations.
Abstract:
A prosthesis (10) for the reconstruction of the shoulder joint comprises a glenoid prosthesis (11) comprising an attachment support for the glenoid (13) and a joint element of the glenoid (14) and a humeral prosthesis (12) comprising an attachment support for the humerus (17) and a joint element of the humerus (15). The joint elements of the glenoid (14) and the humerus (15) are shaped in such a way as to achieve a spherical-type coupling therebetween for the artificial reconstruction of the shoulder joint. The joint elements of the glenoid (14) and the humerus (15) are constrained in a removable way by said attachment supports for the glenoid (13) and the humerus (17). The joint element of the humerus (15) is made of plastic material, in particular of polyethylene, and the joint element of the glenoid (14) is made of metallic material, in particular of a cobalt-chromium alloy.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a prosthetic heart valve incorporating one or more linking elements adapted for anchoring, aligning, stabilizing, fixing, or otherwise enabling the implantation of other prosthetic devices, including other prosthetic heart valves, in or around the heart.
