An implantable prosthetic device can include a radially expandable and compressible frame including an inflow end portion and an outflow end portion. The frame can include an expansion and locking mechanism comprising a member having a first set of lateral extensions disposed adjacent an outflow end and a second set of lateral extensions axially spaced from the first set, each lateral extension comprising a bore extending into the lateral extension. The frame can further comprise a commissure attachment member having a first set of arms each extending into a respective inner bore of the first set of lateral extensions and a second set of arms each extending into a respective inner bore of the second set of lateral extensions such that the commissure attachment member is restrained from movement relative to the expansion and locking mechanism in the radial and axial directions.

A spinal shield establishes a protective barrier around an exposed spinal canal during a surgical procedure. The spinal shield includes a shield body having a plurality of lateral extensions configured to be positioned over the exposed spinal canal, where each of the plurality of lateral extensions includes a hinge that permits rotation of the plurality of laterally extending legs in only a downward direction. The shield body can define a curved configuration or a substantially planar configuration. Further, the spinal shield can include a handle portion that extends outwardly in perpendicular relation to the shield body.

A cable holder assembly includes a body having a proximal end, a distal end positioned opposite the proximal end, and a body length extending from the proximal end to the distal end. A plurality of protrusions extend laterally around the body in a circumferential direction, a plurality of slots are defined between each of the plurality of protrusions, and a plurality of tapered cross members extend vertically from each of the plurality of protrusions. The plurality of wedges are configured to be received by the plurality of slots, and each of the plurality of wedges is tapered. Each of the plurality of wedges is retained in each of the plurality of slots when each of the plurality of wedges translates from the proximal end of the body toward the distal end of the body.

The present disclosure provides a surgical instrument and method for assessing the repair of the femoral head center. The instrument includes a body (100) having a first connector (104) for attaching the body to a femoral portion (442), and wherein the body defines a plurality of apertures (110, 112, 114, 116, 118) therein, wherein each aperture corresponds to a respective femoral head center produced by a respective corresponding femoral neck; and a gauge (140), wherein the gauge includes a pin (142) at a first end and an arm (144) extending laterally from the pin, and wherein the pin is capable of being received in each of the plurality of apertures and the arm bears a scale indicating the distance from the pin. The method seeks to provide a simple and / or easy to use method to repair the native femoral head position during a hip arthroplasty surgical procedure.

To provide a pant-type absorbent article that prevents leakage of excrement from the leg opening. [Solution] The pant-type absorbent article 1 comprises an abdominal portion 3, a dorsal portion 6, and an absorbent body 4. The abdominal portion has an abdominal waist end 101 and an abdominal crotch end 107. The dorsal portion has a dorsal waist end 102 and a dorsal crotch end 108. The dorsal portion has a dorsal extension 60 and a dorsal body portion that extend from a position corresponding to the abdominal waist end to the dorsal waist end. The abdominal portion has an abdominal extension 32 and an abdominal body portion that extend from a position corresponding to the dorsal crotch end to the abdominal crotch end. The pant-type absorbent article comprises a pair of side seals 8 to which the lateral side edge of the abdominal body portion and the lateral side edge of the dorsal body portion are joined. The dorsal extension, dorsal body portion, abdominal extension, and abdominal body portion each have one or more laterally stretchable elastic bodies 70 that extend laterally and are arranged to do so.
