Heart valve holder and method for resisting suture looping

An improved holder and method for implanting a tissue-type prosthetic mitral heart valve that prevents suture looping and may also constrict the commissure posts of the valve. An upstanding or shaft member axially positioned on the holder causes the lengths of attachment sutures to extend axially beyond the commissure post tips to create a tent and prevent looping of any of an array of pre-implanted sutures around the tips during deployment of the valve. The shaft member may be axially movable such that it can be initially retracted and then actuated just prior to valve deployment. The shaft member may have notches on its distal tip for capturing the attachment sutures, which are crossed over along the valve axis to ensure engagement by the notches. The attachment sutures may be strands or filaments, or may be wider bands of flexible biocompatible material. If bands are used, they desirably cover the commissure post tips to further help prevent suture looping thereover. The flexible lengths of material extend directly between commissures of the valve, or may extending radially inward from each commissure to a central upstanding member.

Rotating needle driver and apparatuses and methods related thereto

Featured is a medical instrument driver, a robotic apparatus embodying such a medical instrument driver and methods related thereto for inserting a medical instrument into tissue of a mammal (e.g., human). Such medical instruments include medical needles, biopsy needles, trocars, cutters and introducers. Such a medical instrument driver according to the present invention is configured and arranged so that medical instrument is rotated as it is being moved longitudinally for insertion into the tissue such that the medical instrument is spiraling as it pierces and traverses the tissue to the target area.

Alkaline cell with flat housing and nickel oxyhydroxide cathode

An alkaline cell having a flat casing, preferably of cuboid shape. The cell can have an anode comprising zinc and a cathode comprising nickel oxyhydroxide. The casing can have a relatively small overall thickness, typically between about 5 and 10 mm, but may be larger. Cell contents can be supplied through an open end in the casing and an end cap assembly inserted therein to seal the cell. The end cap assembly includes a vent mechanism, preferably a grooved vent, which can activate, when gas pressure within the cell reaches a threshold level typically between about 250 and 800 psig (1724×103 and 5515×103 pascal gage). The cell can have a supplemental vent mechanism such as a laser welded region on the surface of the casing which may activate at higher pressure levels.

Posterior stabilized knee prosthesis

A knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component having an anterior side, a posterior side, a pair of laterally spaced condylar portions, and an intercondylar portion joining the condylar portions and including a recess. A cam surface is located adjacent the intercondylar recess on the anterior side of the femoral component and has a saddle shape that is defined by an at least substantially concave first radius of curvature and a convex third radius of curvature that is perpendicular to the concave first radius of curvature. The prosthesis also includes a tibial component including a platform having an upper surface that includes first and second laterally spaced concavities. Each concavity is adapted for receiving one condylar portion of the femoral component. The tibial component has a tibial post for reception in the intercondylar recess of the femoral component. The tibial post has a saddle shaped anterior cam surface that is complementary to the saddle shaped anterior cam surface of the femoral component and is defined by an at least substantially convex second radius of curvature and a concave fourth radius of curvature that is perpendicular to the convex second radius of curvature.

Friction stir weld tool and method

A rotatable tool for friction stir welding a workpiece and an associated apparatus and method are provided. The tool includes a first pin portion that extends from a shoulder and defines a contour surface opposite the shoulder. A second pin portion extends from the contour surface of the first pin portion. The contour surface, which mixes the material of the workpiece during welding, can increase the mixing of the material at the interface, thereby increasing the strength of the joint.

Preparation method of lodging-resistant multi-difference polyester low-elastic filament

The invention relates to a preparation method of a lodging-resistant multi-difference polyester low elastic filament. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, mixing nano sepiolite fibers, organic magnesium hydroxide whisker, organic barium sulfate nano powder, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and sodium germanate to obtain a high-modulus composite alcohol solution; secondly, mixing organic wollastonite nano needle-like fibers, mica powder, polyethylene glycol, the propylene glycol, an antioxidant 1010, ethylene glycol antimony and protonated agent phosphoric acid to obtain a high-modulus composite promoter; thirdly, co-polycondensing the high-modulus composite multifunctional alcohol solution and the high-modulus composite promoter with purified terephthalic acid and the ethylene glycol to obtain high-modulus modified polyester; a melt of the high-modulus modified polyester is sprayed from a T-shaped spinneret orifice in a spinneret plate; the lodging-resistant multi-difference polyester low elastic filament is prepared by a special cooling mode and a low-temperature texturing process. The fiber prepared by the preparation method has multiple different properties of different crystallization, different orientation and different shrinkage; after different shrinkage, the appearance is good, and a brushed fabric prepared from the lodging-resistant multi-difference polyester low elastic filament is not easy to lodge.

Tire state quantity detecting apparatus and method

In a tire state quantity detecting apparatus, a detector that deforms by force exerted from a tire and that outputs a signal corresponding to the quantity of deformation is embedded within the tire. The detector is enclosed in a capsule within the tire, so that the quantity of deformation of the detector is reduced relative to the quantity of deformation of the tire.
