A coaxial expandable vertebral implant uses a threaded gear mechanism to adjust dimensions for precise spinal fit.
A polyether-urethane-urea membrane cap absorbs synovial fluid to swell and mimic hyaline cartilage viscoelasticity.
An entangled insoluble collagen fiber matrix forms a semi-solid mass via mechanical force and lyophilization to create a biocompatible implant scaffold.
Autoclaving demineralized bone particles creates a moldable gel sheet that maintains position within osseous defects.
An asymmetric glenoid plate with a superiorly shifted stem reduces scapular notching and dislocation while increasing range of motion.
Nested tubular members expand via a key pin mechanism to resolve the trade-off between small incision size and structural support while promoting bone growth.
Replacing PMMA with polyisobutylmethacrylate reduces polymerization temperature, preventing bone necrosis while maintaining structural support.
Chemical vapor deposition coats porous silicon carbide with tantalum metal to create a biocompatible implant material.
Laser engraving creates nano-scale surface networks on spinal fusion implants to enhance osteoinductive bone growth.
Segmented anchoring and locking fasteners prevent screw disconnection under high stress forces.
A transcutaneous prosthetic device links bone anchors to external limbs via sealed signal transmission means.
A spinal interbody fusion implant features a wide load-bearing footprint to distribute vertebral loads and enhance structural stability.
Polishing the ceramic substrate before vacuum plasma arc spraying eliminates mechanical interlocking steps while ensuring strong bonding reliability.
End-mounted locking mechanism enables bone graft insertion into expanded spinal spacers without rotating cage components, preventing vertebral injury.
