The invention relates to an intraocular lens comprising an optics body and a haptic which has a first component with a latching protrusion and a second component with a latching recess, the latching protrusion and the latching recess being arranged at a distance from one another when the haptic is arranged in a relaxed state and being configured to engage with one another when, proceeding from the relaxed state, the haptic is moved in the direction of the optics body into a completely compressed state of the haptic via a partially compressed state of the haptic, the haptic being formed by a single piece and having a haptic cutout which is delimited by the first component and the second component.

A method of repairing a defective heart valve involves positioning first and second support rings of an annuloplasty device in a first configuration on opposite sides of native heart valve leaflets and activating a contracted state of the annuloplasty device so that a first pitch distance between the first and second support rings in the first configuration is reduced to a second pitch distance that is shorter than the first pitch distance to move the first and second support rings toward each other to pinch the native heart valve leaflets.

A method of surgically providing a trans-male patient with a neopenis includes inserting an implantable penile prosthesis into an inverted vagina, where the implantable penile prosthesis includes a pair of malleable penile inserts inside an artificial tunica.

A spinal implant apparatus that is an expandable spacer including features to minimize or eliminate spacer cant or offset during and after completing the expansion process. The spacer includes a top component, a base component in engagement with the top component, and an expansion mechanism arranged to change the top component's position with respect to the base component. The mechanism for causing expansion may be a screw, a cam, a wedge or other form of distracting device. In one embodiment, the expandable spacer includes a base component with a set of towers and a top component with a set of corresponding silos, where the towers and silos are configured to minimize or eliminate tilt of the top component as it extends upwardly from the base component.

Various examples address support structures (e.g., prosthetic valve support structures or frames) that incorporate a frame that, upon transitioning to a deployed configuration, include a proximal section has increased stiffness, or resistance to deformation in a transverse plane to a longitudinal axis of a device, including resistance to a change in shape, size, or both. Such an increase in transverse deformation resistance may be measured as an increase in radial compressive resistance or an increase in flat plate stiffness, for example, or both. Such increases in transverse deformation resistance may be realized through a reduction in length of the increased stiffness region of the support structure, such as through longitudinal compression of the region following an initial radial expansion of the region.

Shoulder arthroplasty systems and configurations for components thereof are described. For example, implant systems for a total should arthroplasty (TSA), hemi shoulder arthroplasty, and reverse should arthroplasty (RSA) are described. In addition, exemplary configurations for baseplates, glenoid components, glenosphere components, humeral components, humeral head components, humerosocket components, connectors, and adaptors, are described.

The present embodiments relate generally to devices, systems, and methods for delivery systems including nose cones. A delivery system may include a handle and an elongate shaft coupled to the handle. The delivery system may include a nose cone having a distal opening at a distal end and a proximal opening at a proximal end, the proximal opening configured to receive the distal end of the elongate shaft. Projections or threads may couple the nose cone to the distal end of the elongate shaft.

Embodiments disclosed herein may be directed to devices, systems, and methods for addressing leaflets within a patient's body, including displacement of such leaflets. The leaflets may be of a native heart valve, or may be of a prosthetic heart valve that has been previously implanted within the patient's body. The leaflets may be displaced to reduce the possibility of the leaflets blocking access to structures within the patient's body, which may comprise cardiac structures such as coronary ostia, for example. As such, a reduced possibility of maladies caused by blockage of the cardiac structures may result.

Prosthetic implant systems for diameter adaptation may be provided. The systems may provide for increased flexibility of providing implants having various diameters, and reducing expense associated with keeping a stock of implants at various sizes. Embodiments as disclosed herein may utilize a prosthetic implant having a docking frame that may be configured to expand to a range of working diameters. The docking frame may dock with a valve frame that may be configured to expand to a working diameter that is more closely tailored to the diameter of the implantation site. The valve frame may have a lesser range of expansion of working diameters than the docking frame.
