20110029002 | PROSTHESIS ATTACHMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH SOFT TISSUE INTEGRATING SEAL - A method and apparatus for reducing the incident of infection proximate to an exit site where a prosthesis fastener, e.g., a bone screw, percutaneously penetrates a patient's skin/soft tissue. Infection reduction is achieved in accordance with the invention by growing a tissue integrating seal around the fastener proximate to the exit site. | 02-03-2011 |
20120203199 | Method and apparatus for providing access to an internal body organ - Catheter systems and methods for facilitating the delivery of a therapeutic agent directly to the interior of a body organ, and/or the extraction of material from said organ. The catheter distal end is placed within the body organ to be treated. The catheter may carry a fixation device near the catheter distal end. When implanted, the fixation device retains the catheter distal end in the organ despite normal patient activity. The fixation device may include porous material to promote soft tissue ingrowth for anchoring the catheter distal end within the organ. | 08-09-2012 |
20120203318 | NEURAL STIMULATOR WITH PERCUTANEOUS CONNECTIVITY - An implantable neurostimulation system includes both implantable and external components. Electrical connectivity between the external and implanted components is achieved through a plurality of feedthrough pins located within an insulative wall of a percutaneous port embedded in the skin. The percutaneous port has the general shape and appearance of a small thimble, embedded in the skin with its open end facing outwardly from the skin surface, and with its closed end located below the skin surface, thereby forming a cavity or dimple in the skin. Various plugs or cartridges can be removably inserted into the cavity of the percutaneous port, in various orientations, to facilitate appropriate connectivity between the external and implanted components of the system through selected ones of the feedthrough pins. A mesh edging secured around the periphery wall of the port promotes tissue ingrowth and vascularization, thereby forming a percutaneous seal around the port that prevents infection. | 08-09-2012 |
