A guiding catheter capable of selective blood perfusion, position detecting, and enhanced contrast media injection. The catheter generally comprises an elongated tubular member for guiding contrast media or medical instruments into a selected blood vessel. The tubular member includes at least one perfusion port in a sidewall thereof for allowing passive blood perfusion of the blood vessel while the catheter is seated in a vascular ostium. The catheter further comprises a closure member positioned adjacent the perfusion port and movable between at least first and second positions to open and at least partially close the perfusion port. An actuating member is operatively connected to the closure member and extends proximally therefrom toward a proximal end of the tubular member, whereby the actuating member is selectably moveable to move the closure member between the first and second positions.

A thin wall catheter introducer system for penetrating through intravascular tissue walls and for facilitating the introduction of a catheter through the tissue wall is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a sheath having a thin wall tubular member and a wire braid positioned about the tubular member for reinforcing the tubular member. The wire braid may include at least two intertwined wires wound about the tubular member. In another embodiment, the system includes a dilator for penetrating through an incision in an intravascular wall of a patient. The dilator may include a first tubular member and a reinforcing member which is positionable about the first tubular member to substantially inhibit buckling or kinking of the first tubular member. In yet another embodiment, the system includes a vascular access system for use in dilating and penetrating through an incision in an intravascular tissue wall and for facilitating introduction of a catheter into the incision.

A medical implant device includes a shaft, an expandable member coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft, a sleeve and a detachment mechanism. The expandable member is configured to move between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, and can be used to deliver a medicament, a therapeutic substance and/or a structural member into the body. The sleeve is coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft, and is configured to move relative to the shaft between a first position and a second position. The sleeve is configured to be disposed about the expandable member when in the first position and disposed apart from the expandable member when in the second position. The detachment mechanism is coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft, and is configured to detach the expandable member from the shaft when the sleeve is in the second position.

A catheter lab imaging apparatus for imaging a heart region of a patient positioned thereon. The apparatus includes a catheter lab table, an x-ray imager positioned about the table and including a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter being pivotable relative to the table to image the patient along predetermined imaging axes, a catheter lab table pad for supporting the patient on the table. The pad includes a top radiolucent layer defining a top surface of the pad and bottom radiolucent layer defining a bottom surface of the pad, the bottom layer being joined to the top layer around the periphery thereof to define at least one sealed chamber for supporting the patient. The pad may further include at least one interior seam positioned within the chamber to limit separation between the top layer and the bottom layer, wherein each of the interior seams is positioned such that each of the predetermined imaging axes avoids intersection with all of the interior seams when a patient is positioned on the pad.

A spinal implant device for fusing adjacent vertebra having a first base member, a second base member and a center section. The center section is designed to provide flexibility between the first base member and the second base member. A channel extends through the implant from the first base member through the center section to the second base member to allow for bone growth through the implant device.

Delivery devices and methods to be used in the delivery of filling/stabilizing and/or therapeutic materials to a bone or other targeted anatomical site. The disclosed devices desirably control the flow of material, measure the volume of material delivered to the site of interest, and prevent the placement of materials in unintended locations. These disclosed devices desirably combine multiple uses of mechanical control of the filler/stabilizing material delivery, rotational advancement of syringe mechanisms in combination with the advantages of manual displacement of filling/stabilizing material from a cannula/stylet pair.

Cephalad and caudal vertebral facet joint prostheses and methods of use are provided. A pair of fixation elements are adapted to be secured within a vertebra in an orientation that best assures a secure and durable attachment to cortical and/or cancellous bone. Artificial facet joint surfaces are mounted on the fixation elements, either directly or with the aid of a support. The artificial facet joint structure may be carried by an arm. The artificial facet joint structure is adapted for articulation with a complementary natural or artificial facet joint structure. Bilateral prostheses may by coupled by a brace to further secure and stabilize the prostheses. Artificial facet joints can be used in combination with artificial intervertebral discs to treat a spinal pathology.

Devices and methods for treating bones having bone marrow therein, or other targeted anatomical locations, including bones that are weakened, suffering from or prone to fracture and/or disease. The disclosed devices desirably prepare the targeted anatomical site for a flow of filling/stabilizing and/or therapeutic material, and then provide for control of the flow of material within the targeted anatomical site, measure the volume of material delivered to the site of interest, and prevent the placement of materials in unintended locations. Once material has been delivered, some or all of the flow control devices can be removed from the targeted anatomical site.

Prostheses, systems, and methods are provided for replacement of natural facet joints between adjacent vertebrae using polyaxial attachment mechanisms for securing the prostheses to the vertebrae. A cephalad prosthesis attached to a superior adjacent vertebra replaces the inferior half of a natural facet joint. A caudal prosthesis attached to an inferior adjacent vertebra replaces the superior half of a natural facet joint. Both the cephalad and caudal prostheses are configured with artificial facet joint structures that include articulating surfaces that cooperate and form an artificial articular configuration. The polyaxial attachment mechanism permits adjustment of the position of the artificial facet joint structure along more than one axis at or after the time the cephalad or caudal prosthesis is attached to a vertebra.
