LINER FOR PROSTHETIC AND ORTHOPEDIC SYSTEMS

A liner is arranged for use in prosthetic and orthopedic devices. The liner defines first and second end portions, and inner and outer surfaces. The liner includes an inner layer having a frictional component and forms at least part of the periphery of the inner liner surface. The inner layer defines a plurality of apertures. A porous element is in communication with the inner liner surface and is connected to the inner layer such that the apertures permit a transfer of air from the inner surface to the porous element. A base layer adjoins the porous element and extends between the first and second end portions of the liner.

Expandable interbody devices and related instruments and methods for spinal fusion surgery

An interbody device may include a main body and an arm movably connected thereto. The device may have a first end, a second end opposite the first end in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the device, a first side, a second side opposite the first side in a direction of a first transverse axis of the device, a third side, and a fourth side opposite the third side in a direction of a second transverse axis of the device. An overall distance between the first side and the second side may increase along at least a majority of a length of the device in a direction from the first end toward the second end, and an overall distance between the third side and the fourth side may increase along at least a majority of the length in a direction from the second end toward the first end.

Synthetic hydrogel composite

Cellulose-reinforced hydrogels may include a cellulose nanofiber network and an interstitial hydrogel portion within interstitial regions of the cellulose nanofiber network, the interstitial hydrogel portion comprising polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), wherein the hydrogel component has a crystallinity of 20% or greater.

CUSTOMIZABLE AUGMENTS AND METHODS FOR ACETABULAR IMPLANTS
20180344465 · 2018-12-06 ·

An augment for supporting an acetabular shell at an acetabulum of a hip bone. In some examples, the augment can include a body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The body can extend from a first end portion that is adapted to be fixed to an acetabular shell, to a second end portion. The body can include a first hole and a second hole, each of the first and second holes extending through the body from the first surface to the second surface. The body can be formed of a porous material that promotes boney ingrowth and can further include a trim marker located in between the first hole and the second hole.
