Enhanced Biocompatible Implants And Alloys
US Patent:
6773520, Aug 10, 2004
Filed:
Sep 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/660948

ATI Properties, Inc. - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C22C 1907
US Classification:
148425, 420436, 420437, 420440
Abstract:
The invention provides improved biocompatible implant alloys and methods of constructing artificial implants having improved long term wear properties. Cobalt-base biocompatible implant alloys provided according to the invention are essentially free of carbide, nitride and sigma second phase particles, and can have hardness and strength properties equivalent to or greater than the standard CoCrMo alloy with significantly improved fatigue life and superior frictional contact properties with UHMWPE. Artificial implant constructions and methods provided according to another aspect of the invention are capable of eliminating latent defects that can promote long term failure of joint implants.

International Classification:
A61F 2/38
US Classification:
623 2032, 623 2014, 623 2034
Abstract:
A prosthetic knee system includes a tibial tray, a non-rotating tibial insert, and a rotating tibial insert. The non-rotating tibial insert and the rotating tibial insert are selectively coupleable to the tibial tray such that a fixed or a mobile orthopaedic prosthesis may be configured. In some embodiments, the tibial tray may be a fixed or mobile tibial tray. Additionally, in some embodiments, the prosthetic knee system may include a femoral component.

Heel Protectors
US Patent:
2011000, Jan 6, 2011
Filed:
Jul 6, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/497914
Inventors:
Thomas K. Fehring - Charlotte NC, US
International Classification:
A43B 17/00, A41D 27/20
US Classification:
2240, 2250
Abstract:
In order to prevent heel ulcers and Achilles' tendon ulcers as described above, a sock with a gelfoam pad or other supporting material in the Achilles' tendon area and the heel area is slid into an outside pocket of a sock. In one embodiment, a circle-shaped or oval-shaped hole is formed in the gelfoam pad in the region of the Achilles' tendon area and the heel area to relieve pressure on these areas. Non-slip material is also affixed to the sole of the sock. These socks are easily removed. Two pairs may be used for a patient such that the inserts may be removed from one for to the other so that one could be washed while the other is being used. In addition, the socks may be placed underneath the cast or on a knee immobilizer or on any bed-ridden patient at any hospital to prevent the serious problems described above.
