  • Publication number: 20230248399
    Abstract: A surgical kit includes a shield for covering a portion of the spine of a subject. The shield can include an attachment portion adapted to engage a bone fixation assembly which is adapted to be fixed on multiple vertebra bones of the subject. The bone fixation assembly can include a vertebra joining member secured between two bone anchors. Each bone anchor can include a fastener portion adapted to be implanted into a vertebra bone and a head coupling portion adapted to secure the vertebra joining member. The shield can be coupled to the bone fixation assembly via separate coupling elements, such as a clip or an adjustable link secured between two vertebra joining members of the bone fixation assembly. Alternatively, the shield can include an integral attachment portion configured to engage the bone fixation assembly directly.

  • Patent number: 11357656
    Abstract: Halo vests and the construction methods thereof are provided. The halo vests are designed in unibody structures to minimize the number of components. A 3D scanner is utilized to scan a subject to obtain parameters for a modeling program, which help to construct an optimized halo vest for the subject by printing rather than assembling manually. The subject can easily put on the halo vest without miscellaneous steps.

  • Patent number: 11291846
    Abstract: A long-range wireless charging enhancement structure for implantable medical devices (IMDs) is disclosed. The abovementioned enhancement structure provides a possibility for long-range charging the IMDs, which maintains the quality of user's lives and also reduces the risks of replacing the batteries through surgeries. The enhancement structure includes an enhancer, which comprises an emitter, a carrier, an IMD, and an enhancement module. The enhancement module is set within the carrier and disposed at the outer surface of user's skin between the emitter and the IMD. The charging signals emitted by the emitter is enhanced by the enhancement module and further transmitted for charging the IMD inside the user's tissue.

  • Patent number: 11154307
    Abstract: A method of controlling automatic stop of a surgical drill 1) uses a smart module to receive instantaneous electrical signals of a driving device coupled to the surgical drill; 2) sets the length of a unit time, and sets the average of all instantaneous electrical signals received in a unit time as a reference electrical signal; and 3) compares the instantaneous electrical signal with the reference electrical signal. When the instantaneous electrical signal experiences a step drop with respect to the reference electrical signal, the smart module sends a stop command to the driving device to stop the operation of the driving device.
