Title: High flexion articular insert
Inventor: CARSON CHRISTOPHER P
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 2004-10-13
Abstract: A knee prosthesis (100) is provided that allows for increased flexion. The knee prosthesis includes (a) a femoral component (200) adapted to fit on a distal end of the femur which includes a lateral condylar structure and a medial condylar structure (202) and (b) an intermediate structure (400) configured to cooperate with a femoral component of a knee prosthesis. The intermediate structure includes at least one surface (402) for contacting the femoral component and a transition (432, 436) of a sagittal curvature of the at least one contact surface from a concave surface into a convex surface at the contact interface of the femoral component and the intermediate structure when the knee is flexed at approximately 120~ to 140~. The knee prosthesis minimizes impingement on the femoral posterior cortex in deep flexion, increases the dislocation safety factor and allows for easier reengagement of the articular surface should the femoral component externally rotate off of the tibial plateau.

Patent CA-2566030-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CASE JAMES P
IPC: G01T1/169
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: A highly directional radiation probe with a laser guide to pinpoint the position of a source of radiation. The probe is configured with a lead pinhole collimator, a radiation detector configured to detect radiation through the pinhole, and a laser positioned in the collimator and configured to project a beam through the pinhole. When the probe is aligned with the radiation source detected through the pinhole, the laser is activated and projects a beam at the source position. The probe can scan a person in three dimensions to quickly locate radioactive shrapnel for removal. The probe can also be used to pinpoint small sources of radiation in a localized area within a radius up to about 20 meters or further, depending on the level of radiation exposure encountered. The probe is adapted to be hand-held, battery-operated and used with a visual or audible radioactivity indicator or a visual display device.
