The invention generally relates to systems and methods for therapeutically modulating nerves in or associated with a nasal region of a patient for the treatment of a rhinosinusitis condition.

Augmented and/or mixed reality systems for performing various types of arthroplasty are provided, along with methods of performing various types of arthroplasty using such augmented reality systems. More particularly, the augmented and/or mixed reality system and method is used to achieve accurate bone preparation, implant placement and orientation, and biomechanical restoration in orthopaedic arthroplasty procedures. Preparation, implantation, and adjustment of arthroplasty surgical sites, prosthetic components, and tailoring and positioning of installed prosthetic components can be guided using augmented reality overlays, projections, or combined imaging of a surgeon's real-world view.

A surgical instrument for releasably connecting to a surgical tool, having three main sections that are able to articulate 360 degrees in 60-degree increments. The articulation of the sections allows for the distal end of the surgical instrument to be spatially offset from the proximal end, yet maintain parallel longitudinal axes. Varying surgical tools can be connected to the surgical instrument via an adapter.

The left/right band of the present invention solves the confusion of knowing what is left and what is right on a person's body and knowing the direction of left and right. The left/right band is elastic and includes two free ends configured to be removably fastened together via a fastening member, such as hook and loop fasteners. An identifier is positioned on a top side of the band, wherein the identifier is associated with the left or right side of the user's body. Designed to help a user avoid left/right confusion, the left/right band of the present invention can help young children and people with disabilities, and other users to comprehend the difference between left and right body parts or direction of left and right especially in strenuous, stressful and time sensitive activities.

A method and device for documenting use of at least one implant used in a surgery and/or for the localization thereof. The implant can be provided for a surgery and used in the surgery. The method includes: a) providing a surgical set having a plurality of implants; b) capturing a first sequence of images of the plurality of implants of the surgical set using a device; c) analyzing the sequence of images of the plurality of implants in order to identify each individual implant; d) optionally outputting a signal when one and/or each implant has been identified; e) capturing a second sequence of images of the plurality of implants of the surgical set using the device after a surgery in order to ascertain missing implants; f) classifying a missing implant as used in surgery.

An osteotomy implant includes a first surface extending generally in a first plane and a second surface extending generally in a second plane, oblique to the first plane. The first surface has a perimeter having a first linear edge, a first curve edge connected to the first linear edge, a second linear edge connected to the first curved edge, and a second curved edge connected to the second liner edge.

Protective packaging, surgical kits, systems, and methods are described herein for assisting in determining whether a tool is properly installed on a surgical device. The protective packaging retains the tool and has trackable features defined relative to a tool center point of the tool. The trackable features have a predetermined state defined relative to the tool center point and the trackable features are configured to be detectable by a localizer to locate the tool center point. One or more controllers can compare the actual state of the tool center point with an expected state of the tool center point, which is based on an expected condition in which the tool is properly mounted to the surgical device. Based on the comparison, the one or more controllers can determine whether the tool is properly mounted to the surgical device.

Systems and methods for aiding a clinician in the proper positioning, placing or otherwise locating of a non-contact detector component of a non-contact patient monitoring system are described. The systems and methods may employ a targeting aid superimposed on a display screen component of the non-contact patient monitoring system, the targeting aid being designed to assist the clinician in properly locating the non-contact detector for proper and accurate functioning of the non-contact patient monitoring system. The systems and methods described herein may also employ a bendable mounting arm to which the non-contact detector is attached such that the non-contact detector can be easily moved into the proper location when used in conjunction with the targeting aid superimposed on the display.
