Abstract: Provided herein is a femoral component of a hip implant device, comprising a neck having a central axis; and a body distal to the neck and having a tapered portion, wherein the body has a largest cross section perpendicular to the neck central axis, the largest cross section perpendicular to the neck central axis having a maximum height dimension and a maximum width dimension, wherein the maximum width dimension is 18.5 mm or less. The hip implant can optionally be used in patients of Asian descent.

Abstract: An integrated catheter assembly for rapid vascular insertion including a catheter configured for receipt of a needle and a guidewire; a catheter assembly comprising an integrated assembly comprising a catheter, needle, and guidewire; and a method of rapidly inserting a catheter to obtain vascular access. The catheter includes a central lumen for receiving the needle and guidewire. The lumen includes a distal port and a transverse side port adjacent an intermediate portion thereof which provide open vascular communication from two ports between the central lumen and the vasculature. The needle and guidewire, when integrated with the catheter, extend through the transverse side port wherein a proximal end of the needle extends contiguous to and exterior of a proximal portion of the catheter.

Abstract: Provided are acetabular cup implant assemblies that can be used in hip replacement surgery. Example assemblies comprise a shell and a liner. The liner can be positioned within a shell. Optionally, the liner can be rotated relative to the shell until the liner is seated in the shell in a position where the liner and shell can be secured to one another. Waveform-shaped features of the shell and liner can guide the relative rotation of the liner and shell. Also provided are methods of seating a liner in shell of an acetabular cup implant assembly.
