Abstract: A motor for a surgical instrument includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor includes a shaft and a magnet. The stator includes (i) a cavity in which the rotor is disposed, and (ii) a coil assembly. The coil assembly includes multiple phase sets. The phase sets include multiple sets of wires. Each of the phase sets includes multiple coils and corresponds to a respective one of the sets of wires. The coils in each of the phase sets are at respective positions about the rotor. One of the sets of wires includes at least three wires. The stator causes the rotor to axially rotate a surgical tool of the surgical instrument based on current received at the sets of wires.

Abstract: An implantable prosthetic device, such as a breast implant, includes a shell made of a biocompatible elastomeric material. The shell has a front portion and a base that surround an interior volume of the shell. A scaffold is disposed within the interior volume of the shell. The scaffold has an inner surface facing the base and an outer surface facing the front portion of the shell. A silicone gel is disposed within the interior volume of the shell. The scaffold has a shape that mirrors the shape of the front portion of the shell. The scaffold reinforces the shell to provide form stability for maintaining the shape of the shell and minimizing folding, dimpling and/or wrinkling of the shell. A second scaffold may be nested within the first scaffold. The second scaffold has a smaller outer dimension than an inner dimension of the first scaffold.

The scaffold has one or more openings formed therein for allowing the biocompatible filler material to fill the one or more openings. A second scaffold may be nested within the first scaffold.

Abstract: A powered surgical handpiece including a housing, a printed circuit board, a sensor, and an actuator assembly. The housing has a longitudinal axis extending from a first end to a second end of the housing. The printed circuit board has a first face and a second opposing face. The first and second faces extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The sensor is coupled to the first face of the printed circuit board. The sensor is centered along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The actuator assembly includes a lever and an actuator. The lever is pivotally coupled to the housing. The lever maintains a magnet slidably positionable along the lever. The magnet is positionable to be proximal to the sensors.

Abstract: A method of making an implantable prosthesis having internal ribs includes forming a shell over a substrate, depositing a curable material onto a first surface of the shell to form one or more ribs on the first surface of the shell, removing the shell from the substrate, and inverting the shell so that a second surface of the shell is disposed outside the shell and the first surface of the shell is disposed inside the shell with the one or more ribs projecting inwardly into an interior volume of the shell. The curable material is cured so that the one or more ribs are integrally secured to the first surface of the shell.

Abstract: An implantable prosthesis includes a shell having an apex, a base, a radius located between the apex and the base, and a dome extending between the apex and the radius. The shell has an outer surface and an inner surface that surrounds an interior volume of the shell. At least one rib is integrally formed with the inner surface of the shell and projects inwardly from the inner surface of the shell into the interior volume of the shell. The shell has an interior volume that is adapted to receive a biocompatible filler material.
