The artificial convex caput femur or the artificial convex caput femur surface is adapted to be fixated to the pelvic bone of the human patient and the artificial concave acetabulum or artificial concave acetabulum surface is adapted to be fixated to the femoral bone of the human patient. | 05-10-2012 |
20120116415 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - There is provided a surgical instrument that simplifies surgery for implantation surgery for treating anal incontinence in women. The disclosed surgical instrument is intended to be inserted through an incision in the vagina and is used for dissecting tissue as well as positioning the implant. The instrument comprises a main part of the instrument, an elongated member with a flexible tip and can change conformation from a straight conformation to a loop conformation that can reach around a portion of the rectum. | 05-10-2012 |
20110278948 | SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING ENERGY - A coil arrangement supplies energy or control signals to, or provides information from, a medical device implanted in a human or animal patient. The coil arrangement includes an external coil that is larger than an implanted coil so as to reduce the risk of damage to circuitry in an energy transmitter attached to the external coil that results from a low impedance at the external coil when a switch in an over-voltage protection circuit is opened to protect circuitry in a medical device attached to the implanted coil from being damaged by a too high voltage induced across the implanted coil. | 11-17-2011 |
20110201276 | SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION BETWEEN AN IMPLANT AND AN EXTERNAL DEVICE - For communicating information between a medical implant in a patient's body and an external communication unit ( | 08-18-2011 |
20110196506 | ARTIFICIAL STOMACH - An artificial stomach for replacing the normal stomach of a patient comprises a food reservoir adapted to collect food, an inlet connected to a first opening of the food reservoir and further being adapted to upstream connect to the patient's gastrointestinal tract, and an outlet connected to a second opening of the food reservoir and further being adapted to downstream connect to the patient's gastrointestinal tract. | 08-11-2011 |
20110196486 | HEART HELP DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A medical device for assisting a function of the heart is provided. The heart is placed in the thorax, the thoracic diaphragm is dividing the thorax from the abdomen and the pericardium is surrounding the heart and is attached to the thoracic diaphragm at a pericardial contacting section of the thoracic diaphragm. The medical device comprises a diaphragm passing part adapted to pass from the abdomen, through the thoracic diaphragm at the pericardial contacting section, into the pericardium, wherein said diaphragm passing part is adapted to allow the thoracic diaphragm to move during respiration, when implanted. | 08-11-2011 |

20110193688 | CHARGER FOR IMPLANT - A system for supplying energy to an implantable medical device when implanted in a patient's body can comprise an internal charger arranged to be implanted in the patient's body, the internal charger comprising a first coil. The system can further comprise an external charger arranged to wirelessly transmit energy to supply power to the internal charger, using a second coil. The system also comprises a wireless feedback system arranged to transmit feedback information from the internal charger to the external charger. The feedback information is based on information from at least one Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transmitter. Hereby a user of the system can optimize the position of the external power supply in relation to the internal power supply based on the received feedback information. This in turn will result in a better and more robust energy transfer to the implanted medical device. | 08-11-2011 |
