RCA Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B05D 512

US Classification:

427253

Abstract:

An apparatus for chemically vapor-depositing a material onto surfaces of a plurality of substrates within a reaction chamber comprises means positioned within the chamber for supporting the substrates in a stack-like relationship wherein the surfaces are substantially parallel to each other and are separated by spacings, and a plurality of gas nozzles connected to a source of gas and positioned within the chamber so that the flow of gas therefrom is directed, respectively, into the spacings between the surfaces. A method of utilizing this apparatus comprises rotating the substrates while moving the nozzles back and forth in an arc, so that the flow of gas therefrom is directed into the spacings at different angles. Uniform deposition of the material onto the substrates is further improved by maintaining the pressure of the gas within the chamber between about 1 and 100 Torr.

International Classification:

A61F5/04

US Classification:

606 86

Abstract:

An orthopaedic assembly includes a first portion or an acetabular cup and a second connecting portion or a cup inserter. The acetabular cup includes a cavity for receiving a femoral head and a pole defining a longitudinal axis through the cavity. The acetabular cup further includes an annular face which bounds the cavity and has a plurality of notches extending therein. Each notch includes an undercut wall. The annular face further includes a projection receiving device. A cup inserter includes a body with an end face and a plurality of fingers extending from the end face. Each finger is insertable into a corresponding one of the notches in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and is rotatable around the longitudinal axis to a locking position. Each finger includes a transverse surface which matingly engages with a corresponding one of the undercut walls when the finger is in the locking position. The cup inserter further includes a projection and a biasing device.

Abstract:

A method of utilizing a distractor in a joint replacement procedure is provided. The method includes releasably engaging a datum to a datum securement of the distractor and gripping a handle of the distractor in an insertion position. The handle includes a first handle portion and a second handle portion. The method includes disposing a paddle of a tissue engaging portion of the distractor against a tissue surface and adjusting the handle from the insertion position to the distraction position to thereby independently move the paddle with respect to both the second handle portion and the first handle portion such that the paddle remains at a generally constant angle against the tissue surface as the tissue surface is distracted. The paddle is attached directly and exclusively to a distal tip of the second handle portion such that the paddle pivots about an axis transverse to a length of the handle.

Abstract:

One aspect of the present invention relates to a tissue resection guide that includes a central body, a first flange and a second flange, the flanges having first and second guide surfaces, respectively, suitable for use in tissue resection. Each guide surface lies on a cutting plane, both planes intersecting interior to the flanges. In the embodiments described, the availability of two cutting planes ensures resections in more than one plane are possible. As a result, bone segments can be removed via a cut on two planes without the need to cut across an entire section of bone on one plane. In some embodiments, an opening exists between the first flange and the second flange to ensure that each resection overlaps. In other aspects of the invention, systems and methods of use for the tissue resection guide are described.
