  • Publication number: 20180289434
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a surgical management and coordination system and method of implementation. The system includes a microprocessor and integrated memory which provide recommended surgical coordination templates generated in successive phases corresponding to the various phases of a surgical procedure based on a specific bone set, surgeon or medical center. The system further enables an industry set sheet having specific fields populated by the device manufacturer to coordinate an efficient assembly and implementation of actual and used inventory levels to efficiently manage through an automated platforms inventory levels and adjustments of specific instruments based on the defined medical procedure.

  • Patent number: 9777772
    Abstract: A roller-cage assembly including rolling elements and a cage is provided. The cage includes crossbars extending between an inner and outer ring that define rolling element pockets. Each of the crossbars is tapered from a larger width at the radially outer ring to a smaller width at the radially inner ring, and is connected to the radially inner ring at a first cross-sectional connection area. The crossbars have a first and second lateral surface for supporting the rolling elements. The first cross-sectional connection area of each of the crossbars has a minimum width and a first height. A maximum distance is defined between outer surfaces of adjacent rolling elements and is greater than zero. The minimum width of the first cross-sectional connection area is greater than the maximum distance defined between outer surfaces of adjacent rolling elements at radially inner ends thereof, and is 30-50% of the first height.

  • Publication number: 20110194796
    Abstract: The angled bore bearing converts rotary motion into linear motion and has an inner ring with a bore that is not perpendicular to the raceway grooves. Additionally, the angled bore bearing has rolling elements, an outer ring and optionally a cage. Optionally, an intermediate device can be used in place of the inner ring.
