Functional alignment of a 3D image of pelvis includes identifying a reference points on each 2D image of weight-bearing pelvis; identifying corresponding reference points on a 3D image of pelvis in a non-weight bearing position; constructing references on the 2D images based on the reference points on each respective image, constructing a corresponding reference on the 3D image based on the reference points thereon; and aligning the corresponding references of the 3D image with the references of 2D images, to provide a functionally aligned 3D image to more accurately plan placement of an acetabular shell. Another aspect of the invention determines an acetabular center of rotation (CoR) calculations for use in navigation during a THA surgery, including obtaining a point cloud of a surface of an acetabulum with a navigated instrument during the THA surgery; creating an acquired surface of the acetabulum based on the point cloud; extracting an acetabular CoR from the acquired surface for use in alignment and registration.

Custom patient-specific interbody implants, systems, and methods of generating custom implants. The implants may include upper and lower surfaces with an irregular surface topography, which are custom contoured to match the adjacent vertebral endplates of a specific patient. The method may include uploading images of the spine for the patient and processing the images into a virtual three-dimensional model of the spine including topography of individual vertebral bodies. The user may automatically and/or manually manipulate the virtual three-dimensional model to pre-operatively simulate a desired correction to the spine. The virtual implant model may be generated based on the desired correction and the topography of adjacent vertebral bodies.

A box (1) for fan coil units, which comprises a box-like body (7), arranged vertically when installed, with a substantially parallelepiped shape that defines a removable bottom (8), two longitudinal side walls (9a, 9b) and a top (10), all connected to a flat base (11), and a cover (12);the removable bottom (8) comprises a first breakable zone (18) and a housing (19), fitted with a condensate drain, for a removable trap (21) that cooperates with guide means (24a, 24b) associated proximate to the flat base (11) proximate to the opening (15);the top (10), the longitudinal side walls (9a, 9b) and the flat base (11) have, respectively, second, third and fourth breakable zones (27, 28, 29);the first, the second and the third breakable zones 18, 27, 28 are adapted to accommodate at least delivery (4) and return (5) conduits for refrigerated water or water at high temperatures.

The present invention provides a medical catheter, a surgical instrument, and a medical catheter manufacturing method, which relates to the technical field of medical device. The medical catheter provided by the present invention adopts a structure in which a support tube is installed inside an outer tube body and the support tube extends along the inner wall of the outer tube body. This structure not only allows the medical catheter to bend and easily pass through curved channels, but also maintains good structural strength and support when the outer tube body has a small diameter and thin wall. It is particularly suitable for surgical instruments that need to be inserted through narrow channels.

A machine and method for forming an electrochemical cell, wherein a conveying assembly (1000) is used in the machine and method comprising an idle roller (100) having a geometric axis (X) and an operating surface (101) configured to be engaged at least partially by a strip element (10) adapted to be dragged in a longitudinal direction thereof. The idle roller (100) comprises a shell (120) with a primary portion (120a) having a thickness that is substantially uniform along the geometric axis (X) and not exceeding 1 mm. The shell (120) can be coupled to at least one rotoidal joint member (200) defining an axis of rotation and connecting the idle roller (100 to a support structure (400). The conveying assembly (1000) comprises a support device (500) including two coupling portions (501, 502) configured to couple to the idle roller (100) in a rotatable manner about the geometric axis (X), and at least one sensor device (1001, 1002) connected to one of said coupling portions (501, 502) and to the idle roller (100) and configured to detect a stress mutually transmitted between said coupling portion (501, 502) and the idle roller (100).

Disclosed are a vaginal foam formulation and a preparation method therefor, which belong to the technical field of pharmaceuticals. Provided is a vaginal foam formulation with estradiol as an active ingredient. In the present disclosure, estradiol is prepared as a vaginal foam formulation, which exhibits good compliance, has a large contact area within the vagina, and allows for rapid release of estradiol. Therefore, the vaginal foam formulation has strong targeting and quick onset of action for diseases caused by estrogen deficiency, and features accurate administration dosage and convenient use.

An independent, surgical screw placement system makes use of an aiming jig. The aiming jig has components and features which can be suitably adjusted so that an independent or extra-plate screw avoids crossing the nominal trajectories of other joint screws securing a surgical plate to a foot in an associated surgery. The aiming jig has a telescoping arm which can be adjusted to a variety of potential trajectories for the independent surgical screw until a desired trajectory for such independent screw has been determined.

Aspects include a surgical robot for use in a total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure, and related methods. In some cases, the surgical robot includes: a robot arm for holding a surgical instrument; and a controller coupled with the robot arm, the controller programmed to: detect a position of the surgical instrument in at least one attraction volume corresponding with a planned trajectory of the surgical instrument for the THA procedure, the at least one attraction volume defined in part by a point and an axis extending from the point; and while the surgical instrument is in the at least one attraction volume during the THA procedure, provide assistance to movement of the surgical instrument in a direction toward the at least one attraction volume.
