  • Publication number: 20230263635
    Abstract: A system for attachment of a device to a bone is provided. The system includes an internal axial rod with a proximal and distal end that is configured to be inserted and secured into a bone cavity’s distal end. The system can also include an internal-external transfer rod with a proximal and distal end mounted into the distal end of the axial rod and a central channel extending through the transfer rod from the proximal end to the distal end and a plurality of attachment rings for attaching at least one tissue or muscle group to the transfer rod. The system also includes a bio-compatible and bio-occlusive artificial membranes (BIOCAMS) lamina, wherein the lamina includes either a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) mesh, a biocompatible polymer, a carbon fiber polymer, an artificial tissue polymer, molded donor tissue, allogenic tissue, a collagen/hyaluronic acid-based tissue, or connective tissue biosynthetic substrate material suitable as webbing.

  • Patent number: 11406816
    Abstract: A system and method for improving limb function through the use of percutaneous mechanical and neural interfaces. The system generally uses a hollow long bone axial rod that is inserted into the long bone medullary cavity. A transfer rod with a central channel is mounted to the long bone axial rod. An exterior body attachment is connected to the transfer rod and attachment rings attach muscle groups, fascia layers and dermal layers to the transfer rod. Additionally, the system is configured to collect and transmit nerve signaling data to an external processor and additionally configured to transmit data from the external processor to the plurality of nerves.

  • Patent number: 5770551
    Abstract: A bleach granule is provided with 60-100% being an intimate mixture of an amido or imido C.sub.2 -C.sub.30 peroxy acid and a surfactant, in a weight ratio of 20:1 to 1:20. The most preferred peroxyacids are N,N-phthaloylaminoperoxycaproic acid (PAP); monononylamide of either peroxysuccinic acid (NAPSA) or peroxyadipic acid (NAPAA) and N,N'-terephthaloyl-di(6-aminoperoxycaproic acid) (TPCAP). Localized dye damage from the peroxy acid bleach is prevented by the presence of the surfactant. Bleach compositions and a method for cleaning a stained substrate with the bleach granule are also described.
