Abstract: Presented herein are separable magnet arrangements for use with encapsulated implantable components. A separable magnet arrangement includes an implantable magnet is at least one of fully encapsulated in, and mechanically severable from, an overmolding of the encapsulated implantable component or an implantable magnet that is physically separate from the encapsulated implantable component.

Abstract: A cantilevered support system is provided. The cantilevered support system comprises a vertical support pole and longitudinally extending upper and lower support arm assemblies that are securable to a wall.

Abstract: Presented herein are implantable systems and methods for long-term delivery of treatment substance to the ear of a recipient of an implantable auditory prosthesis.

Abstract: A magnet is completely encased within a body of a biocompatible implant. The body of the biocompatible implant is formed so as to allow for removal of the magnet after implantation in a recipient. The body includes a portion that is at least partially separable from the remainder of the body, either by application of a removing agent or a tool. The magnet can be removed and replaced. Thereafter, the body can be sealed or the magnet can be left exposed.

Abstract: A connector apparatus has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion mounts to an upright that has knobby hand grip protrusions. The second portion provides a connection for a laterally extending cross-member. The first portion interacts with the knobby hand grip protrusions to have a combination of a first degree of freedom permitting motion in one direction, while inhibiting motion in a second degree of freedom. The second portion has a releasable connection to the cross-member, and when engaged, has a degree of freedom of motion about an axis of the second portion cross-wise to the axis of the upright. The second portion has a releasable, retained, pin connector with a quarter-turn lock to prevent accidental disengagement. The connection of the second portion is offset such that when two connectors are seated back-to-back their cross-tie connections stand in substantially the same horizontal plane relative to the ground.

Abstract: A cantilevered support system is provided. The cantilevered support system comprises a vertical support pole and longitudinally extending upper and lower support arm assemblies that are securable to a wall.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a patient lift and positioning system, and adjustable components thereof. In one embodiment, a patient positioning interface is suspended from a patient support mechanism and used in positioning a thus supported patient in two or more positions. The interface comprises a legrest portion for supporting a lower body portion of the patient and a backrest portion pivotally coupled to the legrest portion for supporting an upper body portion of the patient. The interface further comprises a powered drive mechanism independently acting on each of the legrest portion and the backrest portion to independently adjust relative to one another a legrest and backrest angle of the legrest portion and backrest portion, respectively.

Abstract: An exercise device may comprise first and second elongated support members, at least one brace member for holding the first and second support members in a spaced apart relation to each other and a limb support device being disposed between the first and second support members and being interconnected thereto for sliding longitudinal relative to the first and second support members.
