This invention provides an auxiliary device for lacrimal duct prosthesis placement in cases of lacrimal punctum stenosis. The device includes a guide tube and a tapered guide head located at the lower end of the guide tube. The guide tube comprises a left half and a right half disposed opposite each other, with an elastic clamping portion connected above the left and right half tubes. The left and right half tubes are openable and closeable via the elastic clamping portion. An arc-shaped left groove and a right groove are formed along the length direction on opposite sides of the left and right half tubes, respectively. The left and right grooves can be joined to form a receiving cavity. The tapered guide head includes a left guide head and a right guide head connected to the lower ends of the left and right half tubes, respectively. The left and right guide heads can be closed and connected. Compared to existing lacrimal duct prosthesis implantation aids, this invention's lacrimal duct prosthesis placement auxiliary device is simple to operate and allows for gentle, stepwise expansion, effectively reducing damage to ocular tissues.

This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and discloses a 3D-printed humeral prosthesis that preserves the shoulder joint. The prosthesis includes a prosthesis body, with a proximal end for connecting to the humeral head of the patient's own shoulder joint. The proximal end of the prosthesis body is ball-shaped, and a connection area is provided at the top of the proximal end, with multiple nail-like protrusions. The proximal end of the prosthesis body also has through-holes perpendicular to the connection area. The ball-shaped proximal end of the prosthesis body of this invention, with its connection area, connects to the humeral head of the patient's own shoulder joint, preserving the patient's own shoulder joint, maintaining the patient's natural range of motion and function, reducing damage to surrounding tissues, facilitating more natural movement and recovery of daily activities, and improving postoperative function. The ball-shaped connection has a large contact area, and the nail-like protrusion structure in the connection area of ​​the proximal end of the prosthesis body further increases the contact area, making the connection more stable; this contributes to the initial and long-term stability of the prosthesis implantation.

The application relates to the technical field of orthopedic artificial joint, in particular to an integrated unicompartmental prosthesis system and a preparation method of the integrated unicompartmental prosthesis system. The integrated unicompartmental prosthesis system comprises a femoral condyle prosthesis, a tibial plateau prosthesis and a tibial plateau pad prosthesis; the femoral condyle prosthesis and the tibial plateau prosthesis are both made of a zirconium niobium alloy 3D printing; the tibial plateau pad prosthesis is made of a zirconium niobium alloy 3D printing or a zirconium niobium alloy forging; the upper surface of the femoral condyle prosthesis is in contact with the tibial plateau pad prosthesis, and the upper surface of the tibial plateau prosthesis is in contact with the lower surface of the tibial plateau pad prosthesis. The bone integration interfaces of the integrated unicompartmental prosthesis system are all formed by zirconium niobium alloy trabecular structures, and the friction contact surfaces between the prostheses are all metal ceramic interfaces formed by zirconium niobium surface oxidation, so that the bone resection amount of the tibial plateau can be reduced, the wear resistance of the friction interface can be improved, the wear debris of the friction interface can be greatly reduced, and the stability of the prosthesis in the later period is improved.

Each alignment member extends axially outward from the first end of the coupling portion, over the support portion and to the support surface, each alignment member comprising a free end configured to abut an end of the prosthetic valve and be axially aligned with a commissure of the prosthetic valve when the prosthetic valve is arranged on the support surface.

The application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a novel metal ceramic reverse type shoulder joint prosthesis system and a preparation method thereof. The system comprises a humeral stem, a humeral holder, a humeral pad, a reverse type glenoid head, a taper adapter and a glenoid holder which are sequentially assembled together. The humeral holder, the humeral pad, the reverse type glenoid head and the taper adapter are all formed by 3D zirconium niobium metal printing or forging; the humeral stem and the glenoid holder are integrally formed by 3D printing zirconium niobium alloy, and the bone combining surface is a trabecular structure; an active contact friction interface is formed between the humeral pad and the reverse type glenoid head, and the interface is a zirconium niobium surface oxidized metal ceramic interface. It can be seen that, by replacing the high polymer material component with the zirconium niobium metal ceramic component, the prosthesis system can reduce the bone cutting amount of the proximal humerus, increase the wear resistance of the friction interface, and manufacture a micro-texture structure on the friction interface to realize the super strong wear resistance and low wear of the friction interface, which is beneficial to the long-term stability after the prosthesis is implanted.

A delivery apparatus includes a dock sleeve having a body portion and a tip portion connected to a distal end of the body portion. The body portion is configured to retain a docking device for a prosthetic implant. The tip portion includes a wall and at least one slit cutting through a thickness of the wall. The tip portion has a cylindrical shape when no compressive load is applied to a distal end of the tip portion. The at least one slit causes the tip portion to move from the cylindrical shape to a deformed shape when pressing the distal end of the tip portion against an external object such that the distal end of the tip portion deflects from the external object.
