  • Publication number: 20220330799
    Abstract: A surgical camera system includes a camera with at least one sensor configured to capture image data comprising a first range of wavelengths and a second range of wavelengths. An excitation light source emits an excitation emission at an excitation wavelength. A controller is in communication with the at least one sensor of the camera. The controller is configured to process the image data from the at least one sensor and detect at least one fluorescent portion of the image data in response to a fluorescent emission generated by a fluorescent agent in the second range of wavelengths. The controller is further configured to generate enhanced image data demonstrating the at least one fluorescent portion of the surgical implement in the image data.

  • Patent number: 7179296
    Abstract: A provisional prosthesis used during trial fitting of a bipolar or unipolar joint prosthesis such as a hip acetabular component. The provisional prostheses include an outer provisional shell component having an interior part-spherical surface having an open end with at least one recess extending from said open end into said interior surface. An inner component, such as a head for femoral component, is provided which has a part-spherical outer surface for articulation with respect to the part-spherical inner surface. The outer surface has at least one recess aligned with a polar axis of the inner component and the outer component has an inner surface with at least one recess which can be aligned with a recess on the inner component. A locking assembly, including a pin, is provided which can be inserted into the aligned grooves to rotationally lock the inner and outer components together.
