Publication number: 20230037844Abstract: An implantable sensor assembly comprises a support structure including a board, a compliant structure disposed on a top surface of the board, and a sensor supported by the compliant structure above the top surface of the board. An aperture is formed in the support structure for exposing at least in part a face of the sensor. The sensor may be a pressure sensor having a sensing membrane exposed through the aperture formed in the support structure. A stiffener, which may be conductive, may be mounted to a bottom surface of the board. The sensor and other components may be covered by a polymer shell having a conductive cover or by a gel contained within a rigid cap, which may be conductive.

Patent number: 9216045Abstract: A bone screw and method of producing the same is described. The method of producing a bone screw includes forming a one-piece headless screw body out of a rigid metallic foam that is entirely porous throughout and defines a plurality of inter-connected pores having a size of about 30 to about 500 microns in diameter. The method includes providing at least one thread on an external surface of the screw body, and forming a bore extending through an entire axial length of the screw body, the bore forming a cannula that defines an annular radial wall thickness of the screw body. The method further includes disposing the inter-connected pores throughout the radial wall thickness of the screw body such as to allow for bone in-growth through the full radial wall thickness and into the cannula.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignees: The Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning/McGill University, National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Paul A.

Patent number: 8979911Abstract: A bone screw is described which includes a one-piece threaded screw body composed at least partially of a rigid foam. The screw body is headless and includes a bore extending therethrough to define a cannula and thereby providing the screw body with an annular shape defining a radial wall thickness. At least a central portion of the screw body is formed of the rigid foam which defines a matrix having a plurality of inter-connected pores therein. The inter-connected pores are disposed throughout the complete radial wall thickness of the screw body from an outer surface of the screw body to an inner surface thereof within the cannula, such as to permit bone in-growth through the complete radial wall thickness of the annular screw body. The inter-connected pores and the cannula thereby respectively allow bone in-growth through the complete radial wall thickness and the full axial length of the screw body.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2010Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignees: The Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning/McGill University, National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Paul A.
