Abstract: An implantable device, suitable to detect and to monitor infectious processes, in particular at a prosthesis is provided. The device has sensor means, apt to detect an index parameter of an infectious process and a control unit connected thereto, the latter being equipped with a storage area for storing the index parameter. The device further has an antenna, connected to the control unit and configured to allow a bidirectional electromagnetic communication with a remote reader of the device. The device is encapsulated by a casing made of elastomeric material.

Abstract: A dissector device having a rod-shaped hollow member, an expandable element with a pair of jaws arranged at a distal end of the rod-shaped member and a grip arranged at a proximal end of the rod-shaped member is provided. The dissector device has dispensing assembly for dispensing a fluid under pressure and has feeding channels and a dispensing channel associated with the jaws of the expandable element. The dispensing channel being has an outlet arranged proximate to or at the free end of the jaw. The feeding channels are arranged in fluid communication with a cavity of the rod-shaped member, whereby a fluid under pressure is fed throughout the cavity of the rod-shaped member in an operating condition of the dissector device.
