A leak detecting apparatus (1) for detecting a leak and determining the size of the leak in a suture repaired site (5) of a hollow organ (3), for example, a stomach, in a cavity (7), for example, the peritoneal cavity of a subject comprises a first insufflator (12) for insufflating the hollow organ (3) with a first gas, and a second insufflator (14) for insufflating the cavity (7) with a second gas. A gas detector (18) is provided for detecting the concentration of the first gas in gases exhausted from the cavity (7) through a communicating conduit (35). A flow meter (25) monitors the flow rate of the first gas to the hollow organ (3). First and second pressure sensors (15) and (16) monitor the static pressure of the first and second gases in the hollow organ (3) and the cavity (7), respectively. The apparatus (1) is operable in a first mode and a second mode. In both the first and second modes of operation a microprocessor (50) controls the second insufflator (14) for maintaining the pressure in the cavity (7) at a relatively low predefined pressure, and the first insufflator (12) for maintaining a constant predefined pressure differential between the pressures in the hollow organ (3) and the cavity (7) of approximately 7 mmHg. In the first mode the microprocessor (50) determines the size of the leak as a function of the pressure differential and the concentration of the first gas in the exhaust gases. In the second mode of operation the microprocessor (50) determines the size of the leak as a function of the pressure differential and the flow rate of the first gas to the hollow organ (3) with the hollow organ (3) sealed apart from the sutured site (5).

A vascular stent deployment system is delivered to a repair site in the body by means of a catheter. The deployment system apparatus comprises a vascular stent to effect the repair, a delivery sheath in which the unexpanded vascular stent is delivered to the repair site, and a pusher rod for ejecting the stent from the delivery sheath for deployment. The system further comprises a stent assist wire, located in relation to the stent, which is positioned in relation to a known feature of the vasculature, thereby assuring that the stent is accurately deployed at the repair site.

The present invention discloses a post-cranial surgery drilling repair device, which relates to the field of skull repair. The device comprises a fixing member and a first sliding sleeve, wherein the first sliding sleeve is symmetrically fixed to the fixing member, the first sliding sleeve is slidably connected to a sliding connector, a protective cover is fixed between the sliding connectors, the protective cover is fixed to a connecting rod, the connecting rod is fixed to a first sliding rod, and a first spring is wound between the connecting rod and the first sliding sleeve. The present invention uses the first sliding rod and the first spring to buffer the impact force exerted on the protective cover, thereby providing space for the protective cover to move and preventing the protective cover from directly squeezing the repair site. The second spring and the guide rod buffer the fixing member, thereby preventing the protective plate from moving up and down with the fixing member and rubbing against the repair site, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the friction exerted on the repair site.

The present disclosure relates to a computer-assisted dental restoration system (102) configured to estimate a crown pose and represent a virtual crown in a three-dimensional model (110). The system obtains a three-dimensional model (110) of a patient's teeth, segments the three-dimensional model to obtain segmented tooth data, and generates an encoded three-dimensional model representation suitable for being processed by a trained neural network (112). A method of generating an encoded three-dimensional model representation includes downsampling a point cloud (404) representation based on segmented tooth data, determining a surface normal representation for each point, retrieving a dental marker for a repair site, encoding each point with a corresponding surface normal representation and a value associated with the repair site to produce an encoded three-dimensional model representation, and generating a three-dimensional model representation based on the encoded three-dimensional model representation. The encoded three-dimensional model representation is input into a trained neural network and an output is generated using the trained neural network, where the output includes a prediction of translation of each point in the encoded three-dimensional model representation to correspond to the crown pose.
