US Patent:

6589157, Jul 8, 2003

Filed:

May 17, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/858668

Inventors:

Diego Y. Fontayne - Montebello NY
Robert A. Joachim - Glen Rock NJ

Assignee:

Integrated Implant Systems, L.L.C. - Arlington VA

International Classification:

A61N 500

US Classification:

600 3, 604 61

Abstract:

A medical instrument includes a drive train assembly that causes precise index movement of the medical instrument, based on an operator-selected indexing amount resulting from actuation of a pitch adjustment knob on the medical instrument. The drive train assembly also causes a stylet to move distally within the outer housing of the medical instrument, to thereby push a seed from an extended shuttle of a seed cartridge located within the medical instrument, to a distal end of a needle cannula that is coupled to a distal end of the medical instrument.

Robert A. Joachim - Glen Rock NJ

Assignee:

Integrated Implant Systems, LLC - Arlington VA

International Classification:

A61N 3600

US Classification:

600 7

Abstract:

A medical instrument includes a distal frame portion that accepts a needle cam. The needle cam has helical slots for accepting a collar, whereby the collar rides up and down the needle cam, to thereby cause the needle cam to rotate. Spin movement of the needle is caused by movement of the collar, to thereby achieve a proper seed implantation during a medical procedure by having the needle spin between seed implant locations.

US Classification:

602 5, 602 16, 602 26

Abstract:

A multi-functional brace for a joint includes a releasable locking mechanism that allows the brace to be set for static stretch of the joint in either flexion or extension, and a range of motion assembly that allows for free movement of the joint through its natural axis over a controlled range of motion when the locking mechanism is released.

International Classification:

A61N005/00

US Classification:

600/007000

Abstract:

A medical instrument provides for precise indexing in order to implant seeds into seed implant locations within a patient. The medical instrument is affixed to a targeting fixture, and upon operator actuation of a trigger, is automatically indexed from one seed implant location to a next seed implant location.

International Classification:

B01D 35/00

US Classification:

210791000, 210171000, 210232000

Abstract:

An oil filter system includes an oil filter module and an adapter. The oil filter module includes a detent and an actuator. The adapter includes a protuberance and is configured to be secured to the engine. The oil filter module connects to the adapter when the detent secures to the protuberance as the oil filter module is urged into a connection position with the adapter. The oil filter module disconnects from the adapter when the actuator is actuated, thereby disengaging the detent from the protuberance.

International Classification:

B01D 27/00

US Classification:

210232000, 210440000

Abstract:

A fluid filter system includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment includes a filter medium, a notch adapted to engage a detent, and a first actuation member. The second segment includes a detent engageable with the notch to secure the first segment to the second segment, and a second actuation member. The detent is moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and is normally biased into the locked position. The second actuation member is configured to cooperate with the first actuation member in order to move the detent between the locked and unlocked positions.
