Patent number: 10898106Abstract: An implantable sensor configured to be inserted in an intramedullary canal can include a primary insert, a secondary insert, and an antenna. The primary insert can include a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end, and a central bore that can extend from an opening in the distal end towards the proximal end. A secondary insert can be receivable within the central bore through the opening. The secondary insert can include a body and a sensor module. The body can be removably engageable with an inside surface of the central bore. The sensor module can be disposable within the body and can be configured to produce a sensor signal as a function of a first sensed parameter indicative of infection. The antenna can be disposed in the central bore. The antenna can be configured to transmit a wireless signal as a function of the sensor signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Hilbrandus H. Bodewes, Mohammed Imran Khan, Daniel László-Deli, Max Hoeboer, Lisa Abdel Alim-van den Berg, Siemon Van Opstal, Bonita Koperdraat, Bart Krijgsman, Jurrit Heerink

Patent number: 10893943Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a bone attachment coating to a prosthetic component, the bone attachment coating being formed from a plurality of particles applied to a surface of the prosthetic component. The method comprising: locally exciting the particles so as to increase the kinetic and/or thermal energy of the particles; and applying pressure to the particles by virtue of a press arranged so as to press the particles against the surface of the prosthetic component at an interface between the press and the prosthetic component. The kinetic and/or thermal energy of the particles causes localised heating of the component such that the particles may be embedded into the surface of the prosthetic component.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2016Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Mohammed Imran Khan, Hannah Wilson, Anthony Lane

Patent number: 10531948Abstract: A bearing component 2 for a joint replacement prosthesis comprises a first bearing element 4; a second bearing element 6, and a linking element 8, operatively connecting the first and second bearing elements 4, 6 and permitting relative motion there between. The flexible linking element 8 prevents dislocation of mobile bearings in a total knee replacement prosthesis. The invention also relates to a bridging element which retains the linking element 8 with some play, which acts as a ligament support 2051, and which causes a deflection of the line of action of a ligament 1018. A joint replacement prosthesis is also disclosed comprising a biasing element 1140 or a tensioning element 1220 operatively coupled to the artificial ligament 1018. The biasing element 1140 or tensioning element 1220 may be housed in the stem of a tibia tray 1006.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Biomet UK LimitedInventors: David Wolfson, Russell Lloyd, John Joseph O'Connor, Mohammed Imran Khan, David Wycliffe Murray, Christopher Dodd, John Goodfellow
