Abstract: A head unit system for a head of a user, including a headpiece including a support structure shaped to be worn over the head. A shield mount attached to the support structure is arranged for supporting a face shield adjacent to the head. A headpiece connector is attached to the support structure and has a headpiece contact configured for electrical connection. A peripheral device provided for being secured to the headpiece for concurrent movement, the peripheral device having a device connector with a device contact configured for electrical connection. The device connector and the headpiece connector cooperate to releasably attach the peripheral device to the headpiece in a secured configuration with the respective headpiece contact and the device contact abutting in the secured configuration so as to facilitate electrical connection between the headpiece and the peripheral device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for augmenting a vertebral body. An introducer device includes a shaft having a flexible distal portion with a pre-set curve in an unconstrained state. An input provided to an actuator to tension a pulling element to move the pre-set curve to a constrained state in which the distal portion and a flexible sheath conforming to the shaft at least partially straighten. The introducer device is removable from the sheath remaining offset from a longitudinal axis. A spacer hub facilitates proximal movement of the sheath relative to an access cannula expose a balloon through a syringe-style input. A hub of the access cannula may be adjustable to selectively adjust an interference surface relative to a datum. At least two radiopaque markers may be disposed on the sheath with relative positions between the markers viewable on lateral and A-P radiography to determine the location and/or curvature of the sheath.

Abstract: Systems and methods for augmenting a vertebral body. The system includes an access cannula, an introducer device, a sheath device, and a treatment device. The introducer device may be moved from unconstrained state to a constrained state in which a pulling element is tensioned. The access cannula may initially prevent the shaft sheath from assuming a curve, after which the introducer device and the sheath device may be advanced relative to the access cannula to assume the curve within the vertebral body. An actuator of the introducer device may include a resilient arm configured to resiliently deflect such that a lock head releasably engages a feature of a handle of the introducer device. A spacer lock facilitates proximal movement of the sheath relative to the access cannula so as to expose the treatment device within the vertebral body at a location offset from a longitudinal axis of the access cannula.
