  • Publication number: 20110313556
    Abstract: In an arrangement for production of implant consisting of biocompatible material and intended for a vertebral disk, preferably intervertebral disk in the human body, the condition (state) of the disk is established by aids of condition establishing means and parameters. A first information created by aid of said means and parameters is arranged to control a computer equipment for production of a simulation model of the disk in question with surrounding vertebras. A second information created by the computer equipment in dependency of the simulation incorporates or consists of information about the outer volume and design of the implant put in relation to the present alteration of or in the disk. The second information is arranged to initiate or contribute to the control of one or more equipments for production of the implant. In this matter it is possible to arrange a technical arrangement and method for an individually adapted implant. The invention also refers to such an implant.

  • Publication number: 20100179448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring a physical magnitude (p) in an anatomic organ (2) in human beings and animals, comprising a tubular, hollow cannula (8) arranged to be inserted into said human being or animal and comprising an end part (10) that ends in said organ (2), and an optical fibre (13) that is adapted to be arranged with an extension inside said cannula (8). The invention comprises the sensor device (18) that is arranged on said optical fibre (13) and which during use is positioned in connection to said organ (2) and is arranged for measuring said magnitude (p). The invention also relates to a method for such a measurement.
