Abstract: The present invention provides methods of forming flexible implant devices and U-bridge implants that drive into curved trajectories to enhance implant fixation in bone. The curved drilling trajectories avoid regions of low bone mineral density, such that flexible implants and/or U-bridge implants driven into the curved drilling trajectories are anchored in regions of high bone mineral density to improve the stability of bone fixation. The flexible implants and U-bridge implants are suitable for several applications, including but not limited to spinal fixation, orthopedic bone fixation, and neurosurgery.

Abstract: An in-line button drip emitter may include a core fitting into a cover. For example, the core may include a cylindrical section with an elliptical cross section. For example the cover may close over a pressure reducing labyrinth formed in the outer cylindrical sides of the core. Optionally the cover has a long axis which is parallel to the long axis of the cross section of the core. In some embodiments, the bonding surface has an arched profile. Optionally, the arched profile fits an inner wall of an irrigation tube. For example, an axis of the arched profile may be parallel to the long axis of the elliptical cross section of the core and/or the arched profile may be parallel to the axis of the cover.
