Abstract: Provided is a method for forming an implant with an autonomous manufacturing device. The method includes accessing a first computer-readable reconstruction of a being's anatomy; accessing a second computer-readable reconstruction of an implant; accessing a third computer-readable reconstruction comprising the first computer-readable reconstruction superimposed with the second computer readable reconstruction; generating at least one computer-readable trace from a point cloud; and forming an implant with an autonomous manufacturing device, wherein the autonomous manufacturing device forms the implant into a shape defined by at least one dimension of the computer-readable trace.

Abstract: A low-profile intercranial device including a low-profile static cranial implant and a functional neurosurgical implant. The low-profile static cranial implant and the functional neurosurgical implant are virtually designed and interdigitated prior to physical assembly of the low-profile intercranial device.

Abstract: Provided is a surgical method.

Abstract: A method for performing a cranioplasty includes the steps of prefabricating a sonolucent craniofacial implant based upon information generated by preoperative scans, creating a cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect, and attaching the craniofacial implant to the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect. The craniofacial implant is composed of a material that is sonolucent and exhibits attenuation of less than 6 dB/cm.

Abstract: A cranial implant for access to a cerebral cortex includes a window member shaped and dimensioned for positioning within a dural defect to provide access through the dura such that access to the cerebral cortex is provided in a location under study. An implant body is provided having a geometry that substantially conforms to a resected portion of a patient's anatomy to which the implant body is to be secured.

Abstract: A low-profile intercranial device with universal power supply includes a static cranial implant adapted for the selective integration of a functional neurological implant. It also includes a universal power supply having a universal implantable power source with a connector.

Abstract: An implantable ultrasonic transducer device for capturing radiographic and biometric data is provided. The implantable ultrasonic transducer device includes a transducer array configured to provide ultrasonic waves to a target area and to obtain reflected ultrasonic waves from the target area; a controller electrically coupled to the transducer array and configured to provide one or more control signals to the transducer array to control one or more modes of operation of the transducer array; and an antenna electrically coupled to the controller and configured to wireless transmit and receive data from an external device, wherein the transducer array, the controller, and the antenna are completely contained within a body cavity of a patient and an activation surface of the transducer array is positioned in physical contact with a portion of a treatment area of the patient with no air gap between the activation surface and the treatment area.

Abstract: Provided herein are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible, convection-enhanced delivery (CED) cranial implant devices and related methods for performing a wide array of therapeutic and/or monitoring applications. In one aspect, the cranial implant device includes a cranial implant housing configured for intercranial implantation in a cranial opening of a subject. The cranial implant housing comprises a substantially anatomically-compatible shape, at least first and second surfaces, and at least one fluidic circuit comprising at least one cavity and at least one port that fluidly communicates with the cavity through at least the second surface, in which the cavity comprises, or is capable of comprising, at least one fluidic therapeutic agent.
