Publication number: 20240420592Abstract: Procedure training apparatus, methods and systems which in one embodiment allow surgical trainees to receive expert clinical guidance during live surgery or to practice surgical skills on anatomical models in a realistic manner with an augmented reality headset which is in audio and visual communication with a remotely located trainer having a similar AR headset. A unique feature of the system includes providing live or static imaging of the surgical site to the AR headsets of the trainee and trainer wherein the imaging is provided from medical or other devices (e.g., ultrasound) through a device(s) media hub. The images are displayed in the field of view of the surgeon so that they may see their hands, the patient (or model) and the imaging simultaneously. Controls allow the imaging on the respective AR headsets to be switched on command typically by the trainer which allows the trainer to deliver the trainer's surgical site image (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Applicant: Simulated Inanimate Models, LLCInventors: Nelson Stone, Steven Griffith, Jonathan Stone

Patent number: 10806321Abstract: A cleaning tool comprising a handle assembly and a pad assembly. The pad assembly is coupled to the handle assembly such that the handle assembly extends distally beyond a first end of the pad assembly. The pad assembly includes a pad securing surface having a plurality of pad securing members extending substantially perpendicularly from the pad securing surface, and a slotted member located at a second end of the pad assembly, the second end being opposite the first end. The slotted member defines a slot configured to accept a cleaning pad, and the slotted member extends at an angle from the pad securing surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignees: Golden Ventures, Inc., Models, LLCInventors: Larry R. McMann, Jr., Gerard W. Golden, Christopher D. I. Miller, Jerry J. Cason

Patent number: 6978188Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for designing and producing custom-made templates for implantation or for pre-contouring metallic or polymer implantable plates prior to surgery. According to one embodiment, medical image data representing surrounding portions of a patient's anatomy to be repaired by surgical implantation of a bone reconstruction plate is received. Next, three-dimensional surface reconstruction is preformed based on the medical image data. Virtual removal of a bone or portion thereof to be reconstructed is performed with reference to the medical image data by simulating the contemplated surgical implantation procedure. Then, a representation of a template is created that is countered to fit the patient's anatomy to be repaired. Finally, a replica of the template is produced by using Solid Freeform Fabrication manufacturing techniques.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Assignee: Medical Modeling, LLCInventor: Andrew M.

Publication number: 20050043835Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for designing and producing custom-fit prosthesis. According to one embodiment, a mold is produced from which a custom-fit implant may be directly manufactured. Medical image data representing surrounding portions of a patient's anatomy to be repaired by surgical implantation of the custom-fit implant are received. Then, three-dimensional surface reconstruction is performed based on the medical image data. Next, the custom-fit implant is designed based on the three-dimensional surface reconstruction and a two-part mold is created with a void in the shape of the custom-fit implant by subtracting a representation of the custom-fit implant from a representation of a mold. Finally, the two-part mold is output from which the custom-fit implant may be directly manufactured.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2003Publication date: February 24, 2005Applicant: Medical Modeling LLCInventor: Andrew Christensen
