形態変化整形外科用関節装置のための経皮的送達および回収システム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5328763
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Delivery and retrieval systems for delivering or retrieving a shape-changing percutaneously implantable orthopedic device joint prosthesis that can move between a generally arcuate configuration and a substantially straightened or slightly curved configuration. The orthopedic device can be delivered with a needle that is joint expanding, actuating, pivotable, or can include a balloon. The orthopedic device acts as a soft compliant bearing surface or cushion that minimizes the bone-on-bone wear from articulation and loading and may include a covering or coating with tissue or an expanding hydrophilic material. The orthopedic device delivery system can include a loading device with a channel for storing the orthopedic device in a non-straightened configuration and orienting the orthopedic device in the proper implantation orientation. The orthopedic device can be advanced or retrieved through the loading device with a knob and/or a flexible plunger.
