Abstract: A medication disposal apparatus and method of use with multiple stages of conversion operable to render a controlled substance useless.

Abstract: Systems and methods for prosthetic implant revision surgery may include a robot having a robotic arm for attaching multiple surgical tools. The robot may generate a surgical plan for attaching the surgical tools to the robotic am (e.g., a large diameter wheel, an in-line cutting tip, a posterior curved cradle, a reciprocal saw, a long burr, a trephine reamer, an osteotome, a keel remover, etc.) and performing the steps to remove an anterior flange/cap of a prosthetic knee and debond cement from bone within the intramedullary canal of a tibia or femur. The robot may include cameras and/or tracking devices for mapping/generating a three-dimensional model of an operating space and the implant, and determine precise planes and angles for approaching the implant with the surgical tools. Accordingly, the systems and methods may perform revision surgery with less bone loss than previous techniques and may result in more reproducible outcomes.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing configured to receive at least one electrical contact. The electrical connector further includes a circuit board enclosed within the connector housing. The electrical connector further includes at least one electrical lead configured to electrically connect the circuit board to the at least one electrical contact.

Abstract: A medication disposal apparatus includes a collection chamber to receive a medication having an active agent. The collection chamber includes a receiver having a one-way opening. The one-way opening receives the medication in the collection chamber and to impede the medication from exiting the collection chamber through the receiver. The collection chamber includes a first converter to receive the medication and/or convert the medication into a plurality of particles. The first converter is housed in the collection chamber and/or may receive the medication from the collection chamber. The first converter has a grinder with a plurality of rollers operable to convert the medication into the plurality of particles. The first converter includes a motor powered by a power source. The apparatus includes a reservoir fastened to the collection chamber and apparatus includes a second converter.

Abstract: A surgical implant includes a hemispherical cup having a bone-abutment exterior surface defining a convex side of the hemispherical cup and an interior surface defining a concave side of the hemispherical cup with a cavity, and a stress-diffusion element extending directly from the bone-abutment exterior surface of the hemispherical cup at an anteverted orientation to the hemispherical cup. The implant may further include at least one aperture defined by a circumferential surface extending between the bone-abutment exterior surface and the interior surface, the at least one aperture operable to receive a screw therethrough.

Abstract: A method of implanting a medical device including forming a tunnel at least partially through a patient's bone, placing the medical device on the bone so that a stress-diffusion element (i.e., a stem) extending from the medical device at least partially extends into the tunnel, and securing the medical device to the bone. The medical device includes a hemispherical cup having a bone-abutment exterior surface, an interior surface defining a cavity, a circumferential rim extending between the exterior surface and the interior surface, and at least one aperture extending between the exterior surface and the interior surface. The stress-diffusion element is formed to extend from and be oriented with respect to the cup based on whether the surgical implant is to be used on a left side or right side of the patient for reconstruction of the segmental acetabular defect.

Abstract: A medical device, i.e., an acetabular surgical implant, for a segmental acetabular defect with pelvic discontinuity that is installable and fully functional without any need for any intermediary implant such as a surgical cage or a surgical shell. The surgical implant includes a hemispherical cup with a plurality of equidistant apertures extending through the cup, and a ribbed, elongated stress-diffusion element, i.e., a stem, extending from the cup. The stem is formed to extend from and be oriented with respect to the cup based on whether the surgical implant is to be used on a left side of the patient, i.e., a left acetabulum, or a right side of the patient, i.e., a right acetabulum, for reconstruction of the segmental acetabular defect.
