Methods, Systems, And Computer Program Products For Shaping Medical Implants Directly From Virtual Reality Models

US Patent:
2009014, Jun 11, 2009
Filed:
Oct 31, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/263309
Inventors:
Stephen A. Schendel - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700 98
Abstract:
A virtual interactive environment enables a surgeon or other medical professional to manipulate implants, prostheses, or other instruments using patient-specific data from virtual reality models. The patient data includes a combination of volumetric data, surface data, and fused images from various sources (e.g., CT, MRI, x-ray, ultrasound, laser interferometry, PET, etc.). The patient data is visualized to permit a surgeon to manipulate a virtual image of the patient's anatomy, the implant, or both, until the implant is ideally positioned within the virtual model as the surgeon would position a physical implant in actual surgery. Thus, the interactive tools can simulate changes in an anatomical structure (e.g., bones or soft tissue), and their effects on the external, visual appearance of the patient. CAM software is executed to fabricate the implant, such that it is customized for the patient without having to modify the structures during surgery or to produce a better fit.

Bone Distraction Apparatus

US Patent:
5700263, Dec 23, 1997
Filed:
Jun 17, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/664398
Inventors:
Stephen A. Schendel - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
A61B 1758
US Classification:
606 57
Abstract:
A distraction device for osteosynthesis includes a first member which is telescopically housed within a second member. The first and second members are attached to first and second bone segments, respectively. The device includes a ratchet wheel having teeth which engage teeth of the first member. Rotation of the ratchet wheel cause the first member to telescopically extend from its second member housing in an arcuate path.
