  • Publication number: 20220257264
    Abstract: A jig for revision surgery includes a body defining a contact surface(s) negatively corresponding to an articular surface of a primary implant. The body is configured to be coupled in a unique complementary coupling via engagement of the contact surface with the articular surface. A cut guide(s) is in the body, the cut guide(s) positioned relative to the at least one contact surface so as to be aligned with an underside of the primary implant or of a revision implant.

  • Patent number: 9808143
    Abstract: An optogenetic probe, an optogenetic system, and a method for fabricating an optogenetic probe are provided. The optogenetic probe has a proximal and a distal end, and includes an elongated body made of a body glass material and extending longitudinally between the proximal and distal ends. The optogenetic probe also includes at least one optical channel, each including an optical channel glass material having a refractive index larger than a refractive index of the body glass material, so as to guide light therealong. The optogenetic probes also includes at least one electrical channel, each including an electrical channel structure having an electrical conductivity larger than the electrical conductivity of the body glass material, so as to conduct electricity therealong. The optogenetic probe further includes at least one fluidic channel, each adapted for transporting fluid therealong. Each optical, electrical and fluidic channel extends longitudinally within the elongated body.
