Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve for the treatment of structural heart disease wherein the prosthetic heart valve includes an expandable frame that is formed of a rhenium containing metal alloy. The novel geometry of the expandable frame in combination with the frame being partially or fully formed of the rhenium containing alloy enables the formation of a frame that a) has an open cell geometry in the frame of the prosthetic heart valve that can be used to reduce delivery system size, b) has high radial strength, c) has improved restoration of the physiologic EOA, d) has lower recoil, e) has little or no longitudinal foreshortening, f) allows for proper placement of the bioprosthetic valve in relation to the native commissures of the valve, h) has symmetrical and cylindrical expansion of the prosthetic valve resulting in lower rates of leaflet thrombosis and structural valve deterioration, and i) prevents allergic response and restenosis associated with nickel content.

Abstract: An orthopedic medical device that is at least partially coated with an enhancement coating, and a method for inserting the orthopedic medical device in a patient. One type of enhancement coating that can be used includes titanium oxynitride or titanium nitride oxide (TiNOx) and/or zirconium oxynitride (ZrNxOy).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a surgical instrument configured for attachment to a surgical device. The surgical instrument includes a distal region having a curved internal surface configured to mate with a curved external surface of the surgical device, a rotational locking feature that limits rotational movement of the instrument with respect to the surgical device, and an axial locking feature that limits axial movement of the blade with respect to the surgical device. Methods of using the surgical instruments include sliding the axial locking feature past a corresponding axial locking feature on the surgical device, locking the axial locking feature to the corresponding axial locking feature on the surgical device (thereby limiting axial movement of the elongated blade with respect to the surgical device), adjusting the position of the surgical device using the surgical instrument, and disengaging the axial locking feature (for example, by using a disengagement instrument).

Abstract: A bone implant for at least partial insertion into a bone and/or cartilage. The bone implant is at least partially formed of a metal alloy of at least about 90 wt % of a solid solution or a rhenium and molybdenum alloy.

Abstract: An orthopedic implant which generally includes a frame structure and a porous structure. Both the frame and porous structure at least partially define at least six surfaces which make a three-dimensional profile of the implant. The porous structure is positioned at least partially within the three-dimensional profile.

Abstract: A medical device and a method and process for at least partially forming a medical device, which medical device has improved physical properties.

Abstract: An example augmented reality (AR) system can include a frame, a lens attached to the frame, and a plurality of cameras attached to the frame. The cameras can be configured to record a real-time image. Optionally, the real-time image can include a portion of a subject's body and/or one or more surgical instruments. Additionally, the AR system can include a plurality of inertial measurement units, where a respective inertial measurement unit is attached to each respective camera. Optionally, the AR system can be configured to display image data (e.g., medical image data) registered and superimposed on the real-time image as seen by the user of the AR system.

Abstract: A medical device and a method and process for at least partially forming a medical device, which medical device has improved physical properties. The one or more improved physical properties of the novel metal alloy can be achieved in the medical device without having to increase the bulk, volume and/or weight of the medical device.
