Abstract: A bone cap (100) for preventing leakage of medullary canal components in a residual limb (102) that can lead to pathologies such as heterotopic ossification reducing heterotopic ossification and a method for using the same are provided. The bone cap (100) includes a proximal base (114) and an insertion extension portion (116) extending from the proximal base (114). The insertion extension portion (116) has an outer surface and a distal end (112b) opposite the proximal base (114). The insertion extension portion (116) is configured to be inserted into a resected portion of a bone (104) of a patient. The bone cap (100) also has at least one bone engaging feature (120) disposed on the outer surface of the insertion extension portion (116) adjacent to the distal end (112b) of the insertion extension portion (116). A porous coating (122) is disposed on the outer surface of the insertion extension portion (116) adjacent to the proximal base (114).

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a medical device for deploying a ligation band may include a tubular body. The tubular body may include a proximal end, a distal end, a radially inner surface defining a lumen through the tubular body, and a radially outer surface. The radially outer surface may include protrusions arranged in rows extending at least partially around a proximal region of the radially outer surface. Protrusions in adjacent rows may be separated by a first distance. Surface features may extend at least partially around a distal region of the radially outer surface. Adjacent surface features may be separated by a second distance larger than the first distance.

Abstract: A tumor ablation device may be combined with a diagnostic tool and/or a surgical instrument for offering cancer treatment therapy.

Abstract: A medical device for resecting a tissue. The medical device includes an elongate shaft having a distal end, a proximal end, and a plurality of channels extending therebetween. The medical device also includes a cap assembly disposed at the distal end of the elongate shaft. The cap assembly includes a housing having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a cavity extending therebetween. The housing is configured to be transparent and includes a friction surface pattern disposed over a portion of an outer surface of the housing. The cap assembly further includes one or more ligation bands disposed on the proximal portion of the housing. The cap assembly also includes a wire interwoven between the ligation bands. The wire is further configured to roll at least one ligation band at a time towards the distal end of the distal portion.

Abstract: A securement structure is positioned inside a channel of a first medical device to facilitate securement of the first medical device to a second medical device. The first medical device may be a ligation banding cap, and the second medical device may be an endoscope. The securement structure is adapted to be compressed between the second medical device and the first medical device to secure them together. This allows parts of different sizes to fit together.

Abstract: An actuation line is positioned external to the support structure lumen of a medical device. The medical device, which may be a ligation banding cap assembly, may comprise a support structure having a support structure lumen therethrough, an external channel on the outer surface of the support structure, and an actuation line positioned at least in part in the external channel. The external channel may be defined by raised ridges on either side of the external channel. The external channel may be recessed in the outer surface of the support structure. When the medical device is attached to a second elongated medical device, the actuation line is external to the support structure lumen of the medical device and the second elongated medical device.

Abstract: An osseointegrated implant for an amputee includes a surgically implanted post-shaped orthopedic implant rigidly supported by patient bone, wherein the implant protrudes through overlying stump tissue to an external location for suitable attachment to a prosthetic limb or the like. A non-invasive electrical stimulation system provides controlled electrical stimulation at the implant-bone interface for achieving rapid and secure fixation by osseointegration in a significantly reduced rehabilitation time. The electrical stimulation system utilizes at least one and preferably multiple electrodes mounted externally onto the patient in close proximity to the implant-bone interface, with an external portion of the implant providing a second electrode. In one preferred form, the implant comprises a base structure of titanium or titanium alloy or the like, coated with a thin film of a highly conductive substance such as gold for improved electrical conductivity.
