Assignee:

Advanced Prosthetic Technologies, Inc. - Metuchen NJ

International Classification:

A46B 1302

US Classification:

15 221, 15 28

Matthew S. Cohen - New York NY

Assignee:

Advanced Prosthetic Technologies, Inc. - Metuchen NJ

International Classification:

A61F 244

US Classification:

623 1715

Abstract:

A prosthesis in the form of a cage having opposed complimentary bearing surface assemblies. The bearing surface assemblies moveable towards and away from each other. The moving mechanism being part of the bearing surface assemblies. Each of the bearing surface assemblies having an outer bearing surface whereby movement of one bearing surface assembly in one direction will move the bearing surface assemblies away from each other and movement in the opposite direction will move the bearing surface assemblies towards each other.

Inventors:

Ladislau Biro - Metuchen NJ 08840
Howard Cohen - New York NY 10021

International Classification:

A46B 1302

US Classification:

15 221, 15 28

Abstract:

A brush tip for a motorized toothbrush has a first brush head and a second brush head. The second brush head encircles the first brush head. A shaft has two cranks, each engaging one of the brush heads. Continuous same-direction rotation of the shaft causes the brush heads to counter-rotate about a common axis. Distal ends of the first set of bristles on the first brush head form a circular pattern and the distal ends of the second set of bristles on the second brush head form an elliptical pattern.

Matthew S. Cohen - New York NY, US

Assignee:

Advanced Prosthetic Technologies, Inc. - Metuchen NJ

International Classification:

A61F 2/44

US Classification:

623 1713, 623 1714, 623 1715, 623 1716

Abstract:

A spinal surgical prosthesis such as an artificial disc having a pair of upper and lower plate members, a flexible disc interposes therebetween and a rigid collar made of a bio-compatible and bio-resorbable material surrounding the flexible disc between the upper and lower plate members. Prior to the resorption of the collar, the collar serves to provide stability to the flexible disc for enhancing osteo-integration of the prosthesis with adjacent vertebrae. Subsequent to the resorption of the rigid collar, the flexible disc provides flexibility and compressibility while maintaining the proper inter disc space and lordosis or kyphosis between adjacent vertebrae.

Appl. No.:

11/974653

Inventors:

Ladislau Biro - Metuchen NJ, US
Howard Cohen - Hoboken NJ, US
Mathew Cohen - Long Beach NY, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/44

US Classification:

623 1715

Abstract:

An improved artificial spinal implant system for replacing a disc or vertebral body that provides adjustability in height, and provides support and stability of the spine with proper lordosis or kyphosis, osseous-integration of the implant, and motion preservation (if desired) of the adjacent vertebrae while preserving the space. Motion preservation is achieved with compressible and/or tiltable artificial discs.

Appl. No.:

7/700592

Inventors:

Ladislau Biro - Metuchen NJ
Robert F. Cusack - Edison NJ
Michael D. Mintz - Edison NJ

Assignee:

International Technidyne Corporation - Edison NJ

International Classification:

A61B 1732

US Classification:

606182

Abstract:

A finger stick device for making a skin incision includes a blade pivot arm having a first end pivotally coupled to a housing and a second end having an upper sloped surface and a lower surface. A blade is affixed to the second end such that its cutting edge extends away from the lower surface. A resilient bias member when actuated traverses the upper surface and depresses the second end of the blade pivot arm, such that the blade exits the housing and incises the skin. The incising operation is complete upon the bias member traversing the sloped upper surface of the blade pivot arm. Also disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing the finger stick device, in which the bias member and blade pivot arm are molded as a monolithic unit. A blade is attached to the blade pivot arm, and the blade and monolithic unit are inserted into the housing. Further disclosed is an embodiment in which the housing is formed of two uniformly shaped halves, which when joined, provide an internal space for the monolithic unit.
